Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

  • 6160 Countdown
    6160 Countdown The \Countdown" TV show has a part that consists of obtaining a number by combining six different numbers using the basic mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, product and division. The basic rules for the game are: • The contestant selects six of twenty-four shuffled tiles. The tiles are arranged into two groups: four "large numbers" (25, 50, 75 and 100) and the remainder "small numbers", which comprise two each of the numbers 1 to 10. Hence the tiles have the values f1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100g. • The contestant chooses how many large numbers are in the selection; anywhere from none. • The contestants then have thirty seconds to get a number as close to the target as possible by combining the six selected numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. • Not all numbers need to be used. • A number can be used as many times as it appears. • Fractions are not allowed, only positive integers may be used at any stage of the calculation. • Only exact divisions are allowed. Example: • Contestant requests two large numbers and four small numbers. • Selection is: 75 50 2 3 8 7 • Randomly generated target is: 812 • Contestant declares result: 813 • Contestant gives details: 75 + 50 = 125; 125 - 8 = 117; 117 * 7 = 819; 3 * 2 = 6; 819 - 6 = 813 • Expert notes: 50 + 8 = 58; 7 * 2 = 14; 14 * 58 = 812 Your task is to write a program that calculates the best sequence of operations that lead to the target number T . If there is no way to get T , give the closest solution.

  • Talent Tracking
    ON SCREEN AND ON AIR TALENT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE BBC’S APPROACH AND IMPACT A REPORT FOR THE BBC TRUST APPENDIX II – TALENT TRACKING BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES APRIL 2008 1 APPENDIX II – TALENT TRACKING The objective was to find how the sources of the various network broadcasters’ talent differ, by genre and in some cases over time. Presenter loyalty to broadcasters would also be shown as a result of the ‘talent tracking’. A BARB database consisting of every strand aired on BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4 and Five in 2007 was used to select the relevant strands. Strands with less than 300 annual broadcast hours were not considered for analysis. Strands were chosen from genres that have a strong dependence on the quality and audience appeal of their presenter or lead performer. Hence the genres chosen were: • Entertainment, consisting of sub genres ‘Chat Shows’, ‘Quiz/Game Shows’, ‘Family Shows’ and ‘Panel Shows’ • Factual Documentary, consisting of sub genres ‘History’, ‘Human Interest’, ‘Natural History’, ‘Science/ Medical’ • Lifestyle, consisting of sub genres ‘Cooking’, ‘DIY’ and ‘Homes’ • Comedy, consisting of sub genres ‘Situation Comedy’ and ‘Other Comedy’ The talent analysis would then be taken form these selected strands. In the cases where talent appeared for the same channel on more than one strand, the talent was still only considered once for tracking analysis. If talent appeared on more than one channel, then their tracking would appear in all relevant channel profiles. Various different web-based sources were used to best map out the talent’s career. www.wikipedia.org and www.tv.com have career résumés on most of the selected talent; for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis, www.imdb.com and www.spotlight.com were used as reliable programme and talent databases.
