  • Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Ed Asner Walks Into His New Lawyer’S Office to Discuss His Vast Estate When the Lawyer Greets Him, Iwarmly, Wearing Jeans and a Polo Shirt
    APPEARANCES DO MATTER By David S. Wolf n a very funny scene from Larry David’s HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Ed Asner walks into his new lawyer’s office to discuss his vast estate when the lawyer greets him, Iwarmly, wearing jeans and a polo shirt. Asner’s character is taken aback by the lawyer’s outfit, asking if he is going to a “Halloween party.” The lawyer attempts to put Asner at ease, advising him that it is “casual Friday.” Asner responds by telling the lawyer that he looks like a “f—cowboy.” The lawyer’s efforts to put the prospective client at ease, assuring him that his estate would not be handled “casually,” fall on deaf ears, and Asner, outraged, leaves in a huff, large retainer in hand.

  • Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
    HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

  • Contentious Comedy
    1 Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era Thesis by Lisa E. Williamson Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Glasgow Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies 2008 (Submitted May 2008) © Lisa E. Williamson 2008 2 Abstract Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era This thesis explores the way in which the institutional changes that have occurred within the post-network era of American television have impacted on the situation comedy in terms of form, content, and representation. This thesis argues that as one of television’s most durable genres, the sitcom must be understood as a dynamic form that develops over time in response to changing social, cultural, and institutional circumstances. By providing detailed case studies of the sitcom output of competing broadcast, pay-cable, and niche networks, this research provides an examination of the form that takes into account both the historical context in which it is situated as well as the processes and practices that are unique to television. In addition to drawing on existing academic theory, the primary sources utilised within this thesis include journalistic articles, interviews, and critical reviews, as well as supplementary materials such as DVD commentaries and programme websites. This is presented in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of the textual features of a number of individual programmes. By providing an examination of the various production and scheduling strategies that have been implemented within the post-network era, this research considers how differentiation has become key within the multichannel marketplace.

    The West Wing Weekly 0.14: Veep Guests: Gary Cole and David Mandel [Intro Music] HRISHI: You're listening to The West Wing Weekly. I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: And I’m Joshua Malina. HRISHI: Well, we're done with season six and as a result, we're done with Vice President Bob Russell. That was his last episode last episode. JOSH: That's right. But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed. But we were thrilled to get the chance to talk to Gary Cole and Dave Mandel. GARY: This is Gary Cole and I play Kent Davison on Veep and on West Wing, known as Bingo Bob. What was his last name? I don’t know [crosstalk] JOSH and HRISHI: [crosstalk] Russell GARY: Bob Russell JOSH: I love that you had to ask that. GARY: Yeah. I did.

  • Teaching HBO's the Wire July 2011
    Teaching HBO’s The Wire July 2011 Teaching HBO’s The Wire Dr. Andrew Moore, St. Thomas University Author’s Contact Information Dr. Andrew Moore Assistant Professor Great Books Programme St. Thomas University, Fredericton, NB, E3B-5G3 Phone: (506) 292-5007 email: [email protected] Abstract: My intention in this paper is to address some of the challenges and advantages of incorporating television programming into a traditional liberal arts course, drawing upon my own experience teaching the third season of HBO’s crime drama The Wire. First appearing on HBO in 2002, The Wire’s incisive and expansive analysis of contemporary urban communities has increasingly made it a subject of scholarly interest. My argument here is that the series is culturally significant and potentially useful in a wide variety of courses on diverse subjects. However, there are problems with teaching television at the university level, such as limited class time, and students unaccustomed to critically engaging with the medium. I describe how my class addressed those challenges, and suggest ways other teachers might overcome them when teaching The Wire or any other television program. Also, citing student reactions to The Wire from our course blog, I outline the key lessons our class was able to derive from the series.

  • Meta-Television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Introduction the Last Decade Has Seen a Number Of
    PREVIOUSLY ON “Cut the Shitcom”: Meta-television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Toni Pape Introduction The last decade has seen a number of fictional TV series about television and film production. These television shows – including the ones to be analysed here: Entourage, Extras, and 30 Rock – relocate the process of creative revitalization in front of the camera. Meta-television, as I understand it here, then is television about the media industry and, more particularly, about the production and quality of film and television itself.1 The three above-mentioned television programs present contemporary writers, actors, directors, etc. working on movies and television shows. Especially Extras and 30 Rock offer a critical overview of how television formats are produced, and they significantly do so in a period of time during which the working conditions for television-makers have fundamentally changed. In a most general sense, the criticism that these shows purport works on two levels. First, as we will see further on, there is an explicit criticism implied in the way the TV shows at hand present the making of a TV show. Thus, there is for instance Andy Millman, the protagonist of Extras about whom I will have more to say later on, who clearly states his dissatisfaction as a disillusioned actor/writer: ANDY: I wanna do something that I’m proud of. And I won’t be proud of shouting out catch phrases in a stupid wig and funny glasses. […] So basically, I’m not going to prostitute myself anymore or my work, ok? (Extras “Orlando Bloom”, 21’30”) In a very outspoken way, the programs in question take stock of television’s outworn creative standards and its resulting mediocrity.

  • Game of Thrones Hack Tedx in Aftermath of High-Profile ‘Game of Thrones’ Hack, a Chance to Raise Global Cyber Standards
    game of thrones hack tedx In aftermath of high-profile ‘Game of Thrones’ hack, a chance to raise global cyber standards. The name of the song playing is “The Light of the Seven.” It’s a haunting, evocative piece from a penultimate scene in last season’s final episode of Game of Thrones, beginning with delicate, well-timed notes from a piano. It is a masterpiece of tension, fear and ultimately fury. It was also a good choice for the hackers. The cellos come in less than a minute later, ominous, a portent of something sinister to come. When the children’s chorus comes in, alight with orchestral violins and pipe organs, the voices are a stark counterpoint to the building violence on screen that ends in a crescendo of green fire enveloping the pompous, religious enemies of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei Lannister. Hackers who stole key pieces of some of HBO’s crown jewel properties used that musical score for dramatic effect just weeks ago as they detailed their demands over a roughly five-minute video, using Game of Thrones – one of the most popular shows on the planet – as leverage. To view the video, please click here. To read an ACFCS sidebar piece to this story covering cyber countermeasures, please click here. “We confess that HBO was one of our difficult targets to deal with but we succeeded. (It took about 6 months),” according to the video obtained by Mashable. “Also, we obtained full scripts and cast list of your (and our) very popular TV series; Game of Thrones S7.” In the latest HBO hack, the group is requesting a ransom of an implied $6 million to $7.5 million, or as the note calls their “six-month salary in Bitcoin,” or else the dark net denizens would release the full 1.5 terabytes of data.

  • Jews on TV: a Snapshot of Modern Television's Representation Of
    36 — Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 9, No. 2 • Fall 2018 Jews on TV: A Snapshot of Modern Television’s Representation of Jewish Characters Samantha Maoz Strategic Communications Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract While Jews represent only two percent of Americans, they are widely shown in modern television. These Jewish characters often represent outdated stereotypes that affect public perception. Cultivation theory and social identity theory suggest that audiences tend to believe characters on television to be accurate representations of real life. This paper researched common stereotypes and investigated to what extent these stereotypes were present in modern television. Based on a qualitative content analysis of three different shows, results indicated that stereotypes were present and not questioned. Representations of Jews were largely similar across the three series; characters were open about their Jewish identity and were naturally integrated into American culture, though frequently subject to negative assumptions because of their religious cultures. I. Introduction Most people can easily think of a show that features a Jewish character. While this seems positive, many Jewish characters are inaccurately represented, using outdated and unrealistic stereotypes. Throughout history, Jews have been portrayed in different ways on the screen. The most famous characters have filled the roles of three main stereotypes: the Jewish American Princess, the overbearing Jewish mother, and the cheap Jew. Television has represented Jewish characters in varying degrees; in programs such as Seinfeld, the Jewish characters display their religion rather obviously. In the sitcom Friends, however, three of the six main characters are Jewish, but Judaism is rarely introduced as a topic throughout the course of the ten seasons.
