Desperate Networks was a very interesting and surprising read. The book pretty much explains how different television shows have changed each network in the last few years. its an interesting read about how television was made and the television show hits and misses along the way.
There were a lot of fascinating things that I learned about some of my favorite television shows. One thing that really surprised me after reading this book is that NBC had met with Jerry Seinfeld during the last season of Seinfeld and begged him to come back for one more year, offering him $5 million an episode, and he said no. Another big surprise to me was the fact that Grey's Anatomy was originally titled Surgeons.
Overall I enjoyed the book, it was a pretty easy read, and it didn't get too boring. I would recommend skipping over chapters if they aren't of interest to you. I found that I had a much more pleasurable read, because I skipped a few chapters to get to the more interesting stuff.
