"This is the ultimate bingeing guide."
"The perfect coffee-table book for people who constantly crave obscure pop culture facts."
"Bingers, beware! This is a must-read, factoid-filled miscellany of the most watchable shows of the past 20 years. If you know a TV expert, now you can make them, well, a TV insider."
“The Curious Viewer unearths everything you ever wanted to know about beloved shows. Jennifer M. Wood shares facts and behind-the-scenes gossip from each show but somehow doesn’t make you feel like you’ve already read them all in a Buzzfeed article."
