The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946–Present

Okay, little one, let me explain to you what a prime time network and cable TV show is first. These are TV shows that appear on channels during times when most people are at home and able to watch TV. For example, when parents come home from work and want to relax and watch their favorite show.

Now, imagine a really big book that lists all the TV shows that have aired during this time since 1946. This book is called the Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946-Present. It's like a history book for TV shows.

This book lists every TV show that has ever been on a network or cable channel during prime time. It tells you the name of the show, what channel it aired on, and when it aired. It also provides information about the actors in the show and what the show was about.

So, if you were curious about a TV show that aired in 1954 on NBC called "Father Knows Best," you could look it up in this book and find out everything you need to know about it. You could learn who the actors were, what the show was about, and when it aired.

Overall, this big book is a really helpful tool for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of TV shows and what kind of shows were popular during different time periods.
