Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 through 2010, 2d ed.
This fully updated and expanded edition covers over 10,200 programs, making it the most comprehensive documentation of television programs ever published. In addition to covering the standard network and cable entertainment genres, the book also covers programs generally not covered elsewhere in print (or even online), including Internet series, aired and unaired pilot films, erotic series, gay and lesbian series, risque cartoons and experimental programs from 1925 through 1945.
The Green Family
George Washington Green (1806-1890) and Nancy Gasperson (1810-1889) were married in Burke County, North Carolina, ca. 1827. They had twelve children, 1827-ca. 1856. The family migrated from Jackson County, North Carolina, between 1830 and 1840 and settled in Cocke County, Tennessee. They returned to Jackson County, North Carolina, before 1850. They moved to Haywood County, North Carolina, between 1870 and 1880. George and Nancy Green are buried in the Green Hill Cemetery, Waynesville, North Carolina. Descendants lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Texas and elsewhere.

Collected Stories
The stories in this volume are in three sections. "Retirement Stories" are about senior citizens, such as a retiree prompted by a college survey to examine his past ("Mr. Maple's Good Life"), a retiree prompted to think about human connections after a chance meeting with "The Lady from Australia" and a retiree who sees a chance for revenge when the ex-boss who fired him moves next door ("New Neighbors"). "Left-Over Stories" are those I couldn't fit into Volume I. These include a story telling you how to make "Money", worth the price of the book alone, and a trilogy continuing the story of the young man in "Being in Love" with "Getting Married" and "Struggling On" in the early married years. The third section has stories written just for fun, which I hope, will be fun to read. There's a ghost story, a vampire story, a love potion story, a magic ring story and more. In the last story, "Unfinished Business", a writer tries to outwit death.
Collected Stories
These 53 stories, divided into five sections, cover the span of a life from childhood to middle age, depicting experiences that all of us will recognize, especially the generation that grew up during the Depression years and came of age in the 1950's. In Growing Up in the Bronx, the experiences include desperately wanting a tricycle for Christmas, facing up to the school bully ("The Fight"), his "First Kiss" and first "Betrayal." Army Stories depict struggling for survival after being drafted during Korea ("Dix") and New York Stories struggling to gain a foothold in the business world ("Getting Started") as well as first love, or near-love, before the big decision to leave behind job, girl and (Jewish) mother to gain "freedom" in California ("Good-bye New York"). San Francisco stories chronicle the adventures, mostly misadventures, of young men on their own for the first time, a hopeless passion ("Being in Love"), an illicit affair ("Party Time") and a decision to settle down ("Going to Sacramento"). In Sacramento Stories the focus shifts to marriage, children and work ("Paying the Bills," "The Promotion"). The last story reflects on something we all must face, "Mortality."
