Camp TV of the 1960s

Camp TV of the 1960s is the first book on camp on television that considers the various forms it took during that critical decade. It reconsiders American prime-time programs that drew significantly on aspects of camp such as Batman, The Monkees, The Addams Family, Bewitched, F Troop, British programs including The Avengers, and programs not often associated with camp TV like Snagglepuss. The
book also investigates how musical codes convey camp humor, camp's origins and later reappropriation within queer communities, and how camp's multiple meanings allowed for more conservative readings that led to its mass dissemination by the seventies.
