"Camp TV offers us theoretical and methodological challenges to presumptions and argumentations common in queer media histories…hence the usefulness here of a new terminology entirelyWhat the book also offers, however, is an impressive model of full-scale approach to queer media histories." -- Taylor Cole Miller * New Review of Film and Television Studies *
"A detailed picture of the production and cultural contexts of queer gender appearance in sitcoms, ranging from non-conforming dress and gestures to critiques of heterosexual marriage." -- Katharine Mussellam * Jump Cut *
"[Camp TV] is impressive and provides a necessary re-reading of neglected and devalued texts that cast our present studies of contemporary queerness into provocative question. . . . This book will be a valuable contribution to courses in television history, queer studies and, especially, studies of the queer in popular culture, and will be an antidote to institutional narratives that have solidified unproductively around the ‘newness’ of queer TV." -- Judith Fathallah * Critical Studies in Television *
"A revelatory historical reassessment of US network sitcom of the 1950s and 1960s.… Miller combines scholarly rigor with the engaged, politicized vivacity of a subversive connoisseur and the banter of a raconteur in order to rewrite dominant histories of the sitcom, camp, and LGBTQIA+ media representation.… A tour de force abounding with compelling and witty textual analyses fueled by painstaking archival research."
