A scrapbook of trivia for the boom-boomers who lived through it, a
revelation for the next generation of tube-tethered America . . .
Feran and Hendenfels patch together the G catechism, supplementing
their tale with sidelong glances of Cleveland culture circa
1963.--John Hyduk "Free Times" (11/5/1997 12:00:00 AM)
Anderson wasn't afraid to tell viewers up front that the movie was
bad, but could still assure them 'Hey, groups, we're gonna have fun
tonight.' . . . Thanks to Feran and Heldenfels, readers can still
have fun with "Ghoulardi" on those cold northeast Ohio winter
nights-- "Star Beacon" (12/19/1997 12:00:00 AM)
Brings back a whole era of Cleveland television as it sets the
historical stage for Ghoulardi's triumph . . . An intelligent media
history. . . Enough Ghoulardi trivia to satisfy the most fervent
cultist.--Steve Szilagyi "The Plain Dealer" (10/10/1997 12:00:00
AM)
Laid out like a pop scrapbook with dozens of photographs, many
taken from broadcasts . . . captures a hint of the mania that made
Ghoulardi a Cleveland idol in a sleepy era before long hair, drugs,
assassinations, war and protests.--Frank Gabrenya "Columbus
Dispatch" (12/30/1997 12:00:00 AM)
Takes a zoom-lens look at Ghoulardi's creator, both on and off
camera . . . chock full of rare photos and extensive interviews

Anderson's successor and one of his closest friends.-- "Youngstown
Vindicator" (12/1/1997 12:00:00 AM)
