About this listen
The Glass Teat: Essays
The classic collection of criticism about television and American culture from the late multi-award-winning legend.
From 1968 through 1972, Harlan Ellison penned a series of weekly columns, sharing his uncompromising thoughts about contemporary television programming for the Los Angeles Free Press, a.k.a. “The Freep”, a countercultural, underground newspaper. Sitcoms and variety shows, westerns and cop dramas, newscasts and commercials, Ellison left no pixelated stone unturned, expounding on the insipidness, hypocrisy, and malaise found in the glowing images projected into the faces of American audiences.
The Glass Teat: Essays of Opinion on the Subject of Television collects 52 of Ellison’s columns - including his 2011 introduction “Welcome to the Gulag”, his unapologetic commentary about how cellphones and the internet have extended television’s reach, eroding intelligence and freedom and creating a legion of bloodshot-eyed zombies unable to communicate beyond their screens or think for themselves.
Provocative and prescient, irreverent and insightful, Ellison’s critical analyses of the glowing box that became the center of American life are even more relevant in the 21st century.
The Other Glass Teat: Essays
The late, multi-award-winning author of The Glass Teat continues his critical assault on television in this second collection of classic criticism.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were only three major television networks broadcasting original programs and news. And there was only one Harlan Ellison taking them all to task in a series of weekly essays he wrote for the countercultural, underground newspaper, the Los Angeles Free Press, a.k.a. “The Freep”. For nearly four years, he channel-surfed through the mire of ABC, CBS, and NBC, finding little of value but much to critique. No one offered a more astute analysis of the idiot box’s influence on American culture, or its effects on the intelligence and psyche of viewers.
The Other Glass Teat: Further Essays of Opinion on the Subject of Television collects Ellison’s final 50 columns, presenting his thoughts on everything from dramas and sitcoms to game shows and roundtable discussions, unleashing his fury against sponsors, the nightly news, and the broadcasts of President Nixon - warning readers about the commander-in-chief’s war against the media long before the Watergate scandal broke.
As television has evolved into wireless streaming services and digital interactions on portable devices, Ellison’s timeless rage against the machine has become prophecy. His plea to unplug is an even more necessary call to action in the face of the 21st century’s media onslaught.

You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

We ought to palaver, you and me."

END quote
I love Harlan Ellison. therefore, I love The Glass Teat. I do not, however love the reader for one glaring reason. he continually says "unquote" at the end of every quotation. The pronunciation is END quote. E N D. he has a good grip on Ellis's snarkiness and portrays it well but that one little thing drove me crazy

Harlan Ellison as Time Capsule.
Primarily television reviews. Dated but very interesting historical analysis of the time. ('69-72). Ellison also critiques protests philosophy, race dynamics and class structures of the time.

Excellent!
As long as you are >50, you’ll get most of the references. Excellent narration, and even a few by Harlan!

One of my evergreen reads
The print version of this was my gateway to Ellison. I was 12 or 13 (I’m now 51). Yes, there is a time capsule element to many of the columns, the meta topics he takes on are still relevant 50+ years later. I especially commend to you the two part “Common Man” column, installment 40-something.

Ellison is always interesting
The columns about Television are great. Some of them do go too far afield, straying far from the topic of TV, but they're still interesting. There's plenty here to keep the reader invested. This books is great for those who are fed up with the basic drudgery of television and its all too often lowest common denominator programming. After reading this book you can be sure that it's nothing new either.
