Generation Xers were brought up with television as a baby sitter. They were weaned on TV, and "the boob tube" has exerted a unique influence on their lives. In Gen X TV, Rob Owen explores the symbiotic relationship between television and this largely misunderstood age group.

About the Author:
Author and illustrator Rob Owen has worked as a graphic designer and professional artist for many years. During his process of obtaining his BFA from Loyola University in New Orleans, he studied writing, graphic design, and many art forms, including drawing, photography, videography, and painting. After Hurricane Katrina, Owen was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme cancer, a fatal brain cancer, and is one of the few survivors. He has been fascinated by the people and culture of New Orleans since moving to the city in high school. This is Owen's first book. A lifelong southerner who has lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina, Owen has always had an affinity for art and storytelling.
From School Library Journal:
YA?An entertaining chronicle of television. Owen focuses on certain popular shows such as Schoolhouse Rock and Beverly Hills 90210 to depict not only how Gen Xers influenced network programming, but also how television affected the lives of this generation. The author collected much of his data by posting a survey to various Usenet groups on the Internet. Teens are sure to enjoy the black-and-white photos of some of their favorite shows scattered throughout the book. Also included are dialogue boxes that provide show statistics and summaries and/or interesting facts about the program. For example, there is a five-page history on the Brady Bunch, including a chronology of the show from the original episodes to the Brady Brides specials and quotes from the program's creator, Sherwood Schwartz. Although posting a survey on the Internet is not the most scientific way to do research, the inclusion of quotes from many of the respondents lend credibility to the author's theories. Owen's style and presentation make the reading easy and enjoyable.?Stacey M. Keeley, Sherwood Regional Library, Fairfax, VA
