Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kimberly Potts grew up in a very small Ohio farm town, where she spent time reading any magazine she could get her hands on, feeling certain no one would ever be funnier than Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton on "Family Ties" (she was right), listening to and cataloging Casey Kasem’s America’s Top 40 countdown each week (look it up, kids), and, most importantly, plotting her eventual escape to New York City, because, duh, that’s where Duran Duran and Madonna hung out. Fast forward to that Manhattan arrival, which has been followed by writing six books, getting paid actual cash to watch and write about television (the greatest form of pop culture) for the likes of Vulture, TV Guide, The Los Angeles Times, Variety, and Yahoo, and interviewing her TV heroes, including Bryan Cranston, Carol Burnett, Robin Williams, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Betty White, Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Laurie Metcalf, and Conan O’Brien. You can share in her pop culture obsessions @tvscreener.

I enjoyed the book, it gave a good insight into George Clooney. I also enjoyed the diary near the end with a rundown of George's life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time and Money
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2015
Calling Cloony a "Great" movie star is like describing him as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Many people may want to buy this because of his leftist politics, and they would be disappointed.

Some may want to buy this as an informative narrative on the life of a man with no real education past high school (yes, he attended Northern Kentucky U, but like most things in his life, never completed the program). Again, the description of his life other than acting is simply not there.

This is yet another example of a book selling solely on the basis of a name. If you want to spend the money and take the time to read it, I'd say 99% of the books on Amazon are a better buy and a much better value for your time. I found the book boring, much like spending 16 straight hours watching re-runs of Cops.
