TV "Bible" - Does it have a Prayer?

You're considering buying a reference book about network television. At the bookstore you come across "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present," a huge volume that costs twenty-five bucks. Is it worth it? Read this article by AP national writer Ted Anthony and you'll know (he says it's "...a volume worth a permanent berth on any TV stand, where it can sit poised to answer any of those niggling questions that crop up during the couch-potato hours.") In this easy-reading article, he discusses the trials and tribulations of putting together such a volume, and throws out various TV trivia nuggests along the way (such as who starred in "Quark," a short-lived 1978 sitcom about life on space station Perma One. The answer? Richard Benjamin and "Mork & Mindy's" Conrad Janis). This relatively short article is definitely worth a read.
