Broadcast television's presentation of controversial material to a mainstream American audience is no less an issue today than it was in the s. Programming content has always been a product of the interests and motives of network executives, advertisers, and regulatory agencies. In this book, David S. Silverman assesses four controversial television series from the perspective of media history, examining the censorship present at all networks and the political and intellectual inertia it produces in broadcast television.

He also examines The Richard Pryor Show of the seventies, which raised strong questions about network meddling over racial issues. Drawing on firsthand accounts by the writers, producers, and performers of these programs, Silverman offers an unbiased view of the ways in which censorship, sponsor intimidation, regulation, and network tampering forced American broadcasters to manipulate creative talent and stifle genuine controversy. Shedding new light on the prevalence of censorship in broadcast television, this book helps to reinvigorate the subject of free speech in American society.
