I thought Leisureville was a good read. I learned a few things about TV from it and also recognized some obvious fabrications designed to sell books. I certainly did not agree with everything the author said but I did agree with some of it. He does seem to be a little harsh on the Morse family and their interference with local politics. My cut is that they had a great idea initially, executed it very well, made a lot of money, but now maybe are a little too driven by $$$$$ and are taking unfair advantage of their position both in TV and in Sumter County. If you make your decision of whether to move to TV or not based solely on Leisureville, you are making a big mistake. Gather all the info you can (leisureville being one source of info), visit, look, listen, learn, and make your own INFORMED decision. Odds are you will love TV.
