The Window in the Corner: A Half-Century of Children's Television »

Here for the first time is a comprehensive overview of children's television in the US and the UK. Inglis offers up discussions from the soothing tones of "Howdy Doody" in the 1950s to the surreal landscape of Teletubbyland, with many side trips visits to "Romper Room" and "Mister Rogers," "Sesame Street," "The SImpsons," "South Park," and "Barney." How have children's television shows grown and developed, how have they changed, how have they adapted from the early string-operated puppets to today's cartoons and sophisticated animation.
