McFarland Publishing is a company that publishes reference books on a variety of subjects, including classic television. Books are available to the general public.
I found out about them when I purchased "Booking Hawaii Five-O," Karen Rhodes' excellent reference book about the history of the CBS series. That book includes a critique of each of the 278 episodes, as well as a full list of cast and crew.
Want details of just about every television show ever? There's Vincent Terrace's "Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925-2007," which includes more than 9,350 shows. (That's some watching!) Terrace has written another book about almost 3,200 television specials, called simply "Television Specials."
Numerous television series also get the book treatment. Besides "Hawaii Five-O," there are books about "I Spy," "Star Trek," "The West Wing" and so on (and on).
Television stars with books about them include James Arness of "Gunsmoke," (His is an autobiography.) Raymond Burr of "Perry Mason" and "Ironside," NBC News anchor Chet Huntley, Anna Lee of "General Hospital" (also an autobiography), singer Perry Como and more.
