“Nobody knows as much about classic television as Herbie J Pilato, and with this book, RETRO ACTIVE TELEVISION, he has created a classic commentary on the subject that exceeds all expectations. Herbie J demonstrates that he is more than a fan, critic, and historian. He is, in fact, the most insightful media commentator around, the possessor of a unique understanding of how television in all its forms has shaped — and continues to shape — past, present, and future world culture. A must-read if ever there was one!”

- Larry Brody (TV Writer, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Barnaby Jones)

“Herbie J Pilato brings his expertise to bear with this extensive analysis of television’s effect and reflection on our culture; a book that connects the dots between the medium’s origins and milestones, between the past and the present…and how we can utilize it productively…for the future.”

- Marc Wade (The Television Academy, Emmys.com)

“Pilato understands better than most historians why certain characters, certain TV locales, certain episodes, and certain lines of dialogue resonate with a viewer — often decades after s/he saw the show in question. This book will remind you of or introduce you to great shows, amazing actors and filmmakers, and fun, newly-revealed facts. I couldn’t put it down.”

- Frank Balkin (Managing Partner, Worldwide Production Agency)

“I found this book to be quite satisfying and nutritious on both an intellectual and spiritual level.”

- David L. Harper (Actor, The Waltons)
