Created by Dick Van Patten, beloved television actor, this book is guaranteed to provide hours of pure enjoyment for anyone who loves to be quizzed about TV. Dick has created a trivia game in book form that provides nearly a thousand delightful questions on topics ranging from sitcoms to soap operas, from medical shows to made-for-TV movies, from science fiction to The Simpsons--and that spans the decades from the fifties to today.

But there's more. Most other books of this type irritatingly reveal the answers directly below the questions, or group all of the answers together. This book is designed in a way that allows the reader to see only one answer at the appropriate time. That way, the reader can actually play along. There are also fascinating insets throughout the book that relate wonderful television anecdotes that Dick has gathered during his more than fifty years in show business

While other trivia books may get their questions and answers from previously published references, Dick Van Patten has the unique distinction of drawing information from his long-time involvement in the business that he has worked in for so many decades. Let Dick take you on a tour of TV history--one question at a time.

Dick Van Patten was born into a family of actors, and made his acting debut at the age of seven when he appeared in the Broadway production of Tapestry in Gray. Ultimately, he would also perform in movies, on radio, and, of course, on television. Although he first appeared on TV at the age of seventeen in the pioneering sitcom I Remember Mama, today's audiences remember him best as dad Tom Bradford of the hit TV show Eight Is Enough, which ran from 1977 to 1981.
