TV Geek recounts the fascinating stories of cult-classic series, reveals the nerdy Easter eggs hidden in TV show sets, and demonstrates the awe-inspiring power of fandom, which has even been known to raise TV series from the dead.
Subjects include:
- How the live-action Star Wars TV show fell apart
- The logistics and history of the crossover episode
- The underrated geeky TV shows of the 1980s
- The hidden details of Game of Thrones
- Five Scandinavian crime thrillers that became binge hits
