This book is a book we all think we could write. Hey, it's only TV! However, Brownstein is very droll. He is everyman but more observant--and funny.

I am reminded of the old chestnut, "Tragedy is easy, comedy is hard". Dave Barry is funny 80% of the time and Bill Brownstein is funny 85% of the time. Nobody is 100%. Scott Adams' cartoons are 90+% funny but his prose is about 55%. I consider Brownstein to be a Dave Barry for the guy who went to college and doesn't move his lips when he reads.

I am a fan of his work. I'll buy anything he writes. If you like Montreal, read his columns in the Montreal Gazette.
