Excerpt

“Growing up in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s was classic America at its finest. From the middle of the century right up to the turn of the millennium, never in the history of our country, was there such growth in the evolution of entertainment. There’s a reason they called it “The Good Ol’ Days”… because, in many ways they were!” states Carr.




Professional Reviews

Ellen George amazon.com Power Reviewer
"A delightfully insightful retrospective on pop culture icons of TV, film and music, past and present.
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?"
Enjoy remembering the sights and sounds of a simpler time when it was a novelty to watch the television stations sign off the air for the night with the Star Spangled Banner...or tune in to see if Clarabelle would speak...or go to your neighbor's house because they've got a color TV!
You'll be delighted with these classic memories of yesteryear!"
Elllen George - amazon.com Power Reviewer



Jon Chattman Review
"John E. Carr’s ‘Don’t Touch That Dial!' is a delightful, well-written slice of nostalgia. From Porky Pig to Beavis and Butt-head, it’s a great walk through pop culture history and, best of all, makes you long for the characters of yesteryear, appreciate them even more today, make you think twice next time you reach for that remote."
- Jon Chattman, "The Book of Bert," "Rock On," and founder of thecheappop.com

“’And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor” is a wonderful, well-researched, and thorough book that drives home the fact that we can never get enough of pop culture nostalgia. From popular television commercials, to unforgettable personalities and their respective shows, they're all in this book, well-documented, examined and oft-times, lauded with the author's signature wit and fondness for pop."
- Jon Chattman, founder, thecheappop.com
