As a lifelong Chicago area resident, I appreciated this often cursory look back at the greats of Chicago television history. Of particular interest were the sections dealing with old favorite shows from when I was a kid, such as Ray Rayner, Frazier Thomas and the Garfield Goose show, Bozo's Circus, and Kiddie-a-go-go.
I also enjoyed the sections about Chicago newscasters, which brought back memories of my brief meeting such greats as John Drury, John Calloway, and Joel Daly.
Yes, as with every book in this Arcadia Publishing series, there are a lot of pictures but many are incomparable, such as the one of the great WGN meteorologist, Tom Skilling, back in his early years on channel 9 in 1978.
One thing I did not know: the first sportscaster to interview a sitting president, live, was the Cubs Lead Off Man show guy, Vince Lloyd (who was later the Cubs radio voice, along with Lou Boudreau), who interviewed JFK on the show in 1961.
If you're from Chicagoland, this is a real walk down memory lane. ( )
