  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media. This is only a partial list – consult the Archive Research and Study Center for additional titles, including relevant materials held in the Outfest Legacy Collection.

Seven hundred and eight-one racially and'econosically AO-Zed respondents fro. Chicago and Atlanta provided the data source. Telephone interviews attempted ta-assess viewer opinions of the reality of characters po rayed and racial' attitudes assumed, entertainment value of the progTa sing, and presende of a moral lesson. Frequency of viewing, identi ication with a.specific character, and levels of cultural estrang sent, powerlessness, and meaninglessness Were also assessed.:Pindin ggest that high frequency viewers of both programs find the programming t b t . entertaining and revealing of actual behavior of the-gro s 'portrayed. These individuals are inclined to agree with the authoritarian views of the major characters in the two prograps4 ,"Fred" and "Archie." In addition, a'high correlation existed between high4frequency viewing and viewer self-perception of alienation and estrangement from the outside world.

    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JONAS-FOWLER, JOYCELYN J. B.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1996 M.P.A. TROY STATE UNIVERSITY, 2005 IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

  • "Introduction: Survey of Literature of "All in The
    6 "INTRODUCTION: SURVEY OF LITERATURE OF "ALL IN THE FAMILY" Mike Porter On the night of January 12, 1971 a group of men sat watching a monitor in the CBS executive suite in New York. Some were optjmistic but all were nervous as careers lay on the line. Meanwhile, a continent away, another gentleman was "pacing the floor of a viewing room in Television City, 1 Hollywood, like an expectant father." It was too late for anyone to change their minds--the point of no return had been reached. At 10:30 p.m. EST, these men looked on as a new mid-season replacement program was fed down the lines to awaiting and warned affiliates nationwide. Meanwhile, in every major television market, extra operators hired by the network prepared themselves for the expected tempest of an enraged American public. As was later recalled, these men "kind of sneaked it on 2 one night with no advance advertising or anything." As the show began with its now familiar theme song--American entered into what was later described as "a new era of candor. The name of the program was "All in the Family." Without a doubt, "All in the Family" is one of the most controversial yet successful series in the history The show about Archie Bunker, his wife Edith, his daughter Gloria and his son-in-law the "Meathead," became what one 7 4 observer called "instant American folklore." Indeed that observation became true since in 1978 Archie Bunker's famous chair was installed as an exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Geoffrey Baum 213-821-1491 USC Establishes Norman Lear Chair in Entertainment, Media and Society Martin Kaplan to hold Endowed Chair at USC Annenberg School LOS ANGELES, February 21, 2007 – Norman Lear, the pioneering television and film producer, political and social activist and philanthropist is being honored by the University of Southern California with the establishment of the Norman Lear Chair in Entertainment, Media and Society, Geoffrey Cowan, dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication announced today. The inaugural holder of the Norman Lear Chair is Martin Kaplan, founding director of the Norman Lear Center at the USC Annenberg School. Kaplan, an Annenberg Research Professor, has been associate dean of the School since 1997. “I view few things as more important to the health of our culture as Martin Kaplan’s work leading the Center that exists in my name at the USC Annenberg School,” said Lear. “I could not be more honored that Mr. Kaplan has additionally agreed to occupy a Chair in my name – so honored, that I would be happy to surround his Chair with a roomful of furniture, piano included, were the Annenberg School to allow.” “USC’s decision to create and name this chair is a wonderful tribute to Norman’s commitment to USC Annenberg and the work of the Lear Center,” said Cowan, who noted that, other than the Annenberg family, Lear is the largest donor to the USC Annenberg School. In addition to $11 million from Mr. Lear—which includes a new $6 million pledge—the Lear Center has garnered more than $9 million in gifts and research grants from foundation, government and other sources.
