  • The Work of the Critic
    CHAPTER 1 The Work of the Critic Oh, gentle lady, do not put me to’t. For I am nothing if not critical. —Iago to Desdemona (Shakespeare, Othello, Act 2, Scene I) INTRODUCTION What is the advantage of knowing how to perform television criticism if you are not going to be a professional television critic? The advantage to you as a television viewer is that you will not only be able to make informed judgment about the television programs you watch, but also you will better understand your reaction and the reactions of others who share the experience of watching. Critical acuity enables you to move from casual enjoyment of a television program to a fuller and richer understanding. A viewer who does not possess critical viewing skills may enjoy watching a television program and experience various responses to it, such as laughter, relief, fright, shock, tension, or relaxation. These are fun- damental sensations that people may get from watching television, and, for the most part, viewers who are not critics remain at this level. Critical awareness, however, enables you to move to a higher level that illuminates production practices and enhances your under- standing of culture, human nature, and interpretation. Students studying television production with ambitions to write, direct, edit, produce, and/or become camera operators will find knowledge of television criticism necessary and useful as well. Television criticism is about the evaluation of content, its context, organiza- tion, story and characterization, style, genre, and audience desire. Knowledge of these concepts is the foundation of successful production. THE ENDS OF CRITICISM Just as critics of books evaluate works of fiction and nonfiction by holding them to estab- lished standards, television critics utilize methodology and theory to comprehend, analyze, interpret, and evaluate television programs.

  • GOOD WIFE by Robert King & Michelle King
    THE GOOD WIFE by Robert King & Michelle King January 29, 2009 TEASER A VIDEO IMAGE of... ...a packed press conference. A lower-third chyron trumpets “Chicago D.A. Resigns” as the grim D.A. approaches a podium, his wife beside him. He clears his throat, reads: DAVID FOLLICK Good morning. An hour ago, I resigned as States Attorney of Cook County. I did this with a heavy heart and a deep commitment to fight these scurrilous charges. At the same time, I need time to atone for my private failings with my wife, Alicia, and our two children. Oh, one of those press conferences. Scandal. In the key of Elliott Spitzer. DAVID FOLLICK (40) is a back-slapping Bill Clinton: smart, funny, calculatedly seductive, and now at the end of his career. But he’s not our hero. Our hero is... ...his wife, ALICIA (late-30s) standing beside him. Pretty. Proper. She’s always been the good girl-- the good girl who became the good wife, then the good mom: devoted, struggling not to outshine her husband. We move in on her as we hear... DAVID FOLLICK (CONT’D) I want to be clear. I have never abused my office. I have never traded lighter sentences for either financial or sexual favors. Ugh. We suddenly enter the video, and we’re there with... Alicia as she looks out at the excited reporters, the phalanx of cameras all clicking, boring in on her. DAVID FOLLICK (CONT’D) But I do admit to a failure of judgment in my private dealings with these women.

  • The Rhetoric of Women's Wine
    12. BOXED WINE FEMINISMS: THE RHETORIC OF WOMEN’S WINE DRINKING IN THE GOOD WIFE Tammie M. Kennedy Alcohol is not a women’s issue. —Gloria Steinem, Ms. Magazine fortieth anniversary party Alcohol is a socially acceptable, legal way to muscle through the postfeminist, breadwinning, or stay-at-home life women lead. —Gabrielle Glaser, Her Best-Kept Secret Two contending narratives about the drinking culture of women in the twenty-first century are represented by these opening quotations. On one hand, many feminists have distanced themselves from temperance rhetorics, opting instead to disrupt a traditional gender role associated with abstinence. On the other hand, the myriad of choices afforded by feminism and the increase in alcohol consumption among women have suggested that drinking practices are a reflection of the complexities of women’s roles in the new millennium.1 Some other critics go as far as blaming feminism for the increase in drinking. Regardless, drinking practices2 function rhetorically, pointing to “questions about who drinks, when and where drinking occurs, what beverages are consumed,” and how drinkers create and negotiate their identities in relation to their motives and relationships with others within social and ideological contexts (Rotskoff 11). Furthermore, drinking practices are inflected by gender ideologies that shape representations in popular culture. By every quantitative measure during the first two decades of the twenty-first century, women are drinking more. In 2012, Gallup pollsters reported that nearly 66 percent of all American women drank regularly, a higher percentage than any other time in twenty-five years, and more than 52 percent of the women who drink prefer wine (“Majority”).
