"Is there anything Herbie J Pilato doesn't know about pop culture, most specifically classic television? I love all his books and he's got the creds to write them because he personally knows many of these icons and can ferret out all the juicy, little known, behind-the-scenes anecdotes that make these tomes such gems. Great reading!"

-- Kathryn Leigh Scott, publisher, author, actress ("Dark Shadows")

'What an informative tribute to the male icons whose talents helped shape classic television! The gang's all here: everyone from Desi Arnaz and Rod Serling to James Garner and William Shatner, from Ricky Nelson and Donny Osmond to Johnny Carson and Andy Griffith - and literally dozens of others! Herbie J, take a bow!'

-- Thomas J. Watson, author, producer, TV historian, and former assistant to Lucille Ball

'There is no one more knowledgeable or more passionate than Herbie J Pilato where classic TV is concerned. DASHING, DARING, AND DEBONAIR not only demonstrates his vast expertise in this realm but also gives the reader a fresh perspective on the many pop culture icons profiled in this book. Great scholarship married to great fun!"

-- Bill Royce, Emmy Award-winning co-producer of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"

"Herbie J Pilato has given us an encyclopedia of television's iconic male stars. What a grand and impressive trip down memory lane!'

-- Gloria Loring, singer/songwriter, actress, author

"No one is more passionate or informed about classic television than Herbie J Pilato. Here, Herbie J is at it again with a truly exhaustive survey of the most influential male stars...and producers...over three decades, from the sublime (Rod Serling) to the ridiculous (Red Skelton), and a slew of other icons in between. DASHING, DARING, AND DEBONAIR is comprehensive, enlightening, and a blast to read."

-- David Bushman, Former Curator, Television, The Paley Center for Media

'Herbie J Pilato's own personal panache shines like a diamond stick-pin in his new book DASHING, DARING, AND DEBONAIR - a perfectly fun and extremely addictive read.'

-- Cindy Williams, actress ("Laverne & Shirley")

'I first went to the section about my Dad and loved it. Then I jumped to Gene Roddenberry because I'm a Trekker – and then on to Christopher Knight because we're friends on Facebook. After that…I was just plain hooked. I read it from cover to cover, enjoying every minute of this enlightening, entertaining, and revealing look at television's glory days.'

-- Chris York, son of Dick York ("Bewitched")

'Herbie J Pilato writes about classic television not only with a deep knowledge of his subject but with an equally deep love and respect. If you know nothing about television and its greatest stars, read one of Herbie J's books. If you think you know everything about television and its greatest stars, read one of Herbie J's books. Either way, you will learn something new, fun, and fascinating. DASHING, DARING, AND DEBONAIR is a brilliant addition to his canon. It belongs in your collection!'
