{"product_id":"9781476656403","title":"Encyclopedia of Television Noir, 1949-2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e   Since the early days of film noir, hundreds of television programs--including pilots, series and anthology episodes--have adopted its distinctive style, themes and subjects. This encyclopedia--the most comprehensive work yet published on television noir--covers more than 650 programs in total and describes more than 270 series in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  In addition to crime dramas, there are horror, fantasy, science fiction, and other programs, even rare comedies that meet the description of noir (e.g. \u003ci\u003eGlynis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSledge Hammer\u003c\/i\u003e). Entries include many rare and thought-to-be lost series (such as \u003ci\u003eThe Detective's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrime with Father\u003c\/i\u003e), and special sections catalog both aired and unaired pilot films, as well as planned noir series that were never produced (such as \u003ci\u003eSuture Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlack Magic Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMr. and Mr.\u003c\/i\u003e). Illuminating a rarely studied programming category, this reference book holds value for noir fans and students of television history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Inc., Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754041983217,"sku":"9781476656403","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781476656403_p0.jpg?v=1769873098","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476656403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
