  • The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes
    Media Industries 5.2 (2018) The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes Annemarie Navar-Gill1 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN amngill [AT] umich.edu Abstract Because companies, not writer-producers, are the legally protected “authors” of television shows, when production disputes between series creators and studio/ network suits arise, executives have every right to separate creators from their intellectual property creations. However, legally disempowered series creators can leverage an audience mandate to gain the upper hand in production disputes. Examining two case studies where an audience mandate was involved in overturning a corporate production decision—Rob Thomas’s seven-year quest to make a Veronica Mars movie and Dan Harmon’s firing from and subsequent rehiring to his position as the showrunner of Community—this article explores how the social media ecosystem around television rebalances power in disputes between creators and the corporate entities that produce and distribute their work. Keywords: Audiences, Authorship, Management, Production, Social Media, Television Scripted television shows have always had writers. For the most part, however, until the post-network era, those writers were not “authors.” As Catherine Fisk and Miranda Banks have shown in their respective historical accounts of the WGA (Writers Guild of America), television writers have a long history of negotiating the terms of what “authorship” meant in the context of their work, but for most of the medium’s history, the cultural validation afforded to an “author” eluded them.2 This began to change, however, in the 1990s, when the term “showrunner” began to appear in television trade press.3 “Showrunner” is an unofficial title referring to the executive producer and head writer of a television series, who acts in effect as the show’s CEO, overseeing the program’s story development and having final authority in essentially all production decisions.

  • Veronica Mars, Spinster...Old Maid
    EXT. CAMELOT MOTEL - NIGHT Music cue: Air’s “La Femme D’Argent.” ANGLE on a rain-streaked, neon-reflecting motel window. Through gauzy curtains we see the SILHOUETTES OF LOVERS heaving toward climax with all the romantic finesse normally associated with Soviet farm equipment. VERONICA (V.O.) I’m never getting married. A middle-aged FAT MAN wearing a cheap, too-short, faux- Japanese robe and nothing else crosses through the frame carrying an ICE BUCKET. VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT'D) You want an absolute? A sure thing? Well, there it is. Veronica Mars, spinster...old maid. Carve it in stone. CRANE SHOT follows man down a flight of exterior motel steps. VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT’D) I mean, come on. What’s the point? Sure, there’s that initial primal drive...hormonal surge...whatever you want to call it. Ride it out. Better yet, ignore it... As the man reaches the ground floor level and heads toward the ICE MACHINE next to the motel office, shot widens and includes the wet blacktop of the parking lot and the flickering neon of the CAMELOT MOTEL sign. VERONICA (CONT'D) ...Sooner or later, the people you love betray you. As the man crosses back toward his room, CAMERA STOPS on the door to the first floor ROOM 8. As the CAMERA PUSHES IN on the keyhole... VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT’D) And here’s where it ends up -- fat men, cocktail waitresses, cheap motels on the wrong side of town. REVERSE ANGLE on a nondescript sedan parked on the street facing the motel.

The discord begins when Sherman, (Michael Shulman) a young, uptight Ivy- Leaguer, finds himself stranded on the West Coast with an eccentric stranger and washed-up, middle-aged former athlete Palmer (James Le Gros) in an attempt to make it down to Beverly Hills in time for a career-making internship at a prestigious law firm. The two couldn't be more incompatible. Palmer is a reckless charmer with a zest for life; Sherman is an arrogant snob with a sense of entitlement. Palmer is con - tent reliving his past; Sherman is focused solely on his future. Neither is really living in the present. The only thing this odd couple seems to share is the refusal to accept responsibility for their lives. Director Craig Saavedra brings his witty sensibility into this poignant look at fatherhood and friendship that features indie stalwart James Le Gros in an unapologetic performance that manages to bring undeniable charm to an otherwise abrasive character.

    DARK CITY HIGH THE HIGH SCHOOL NOIR OF BRICK AND VERONICA MARS Jason A. Ney ackstabbing, adultery, blackmail, robbery, corruption, and murder—you’ll find them all here, in a place where no vice is in short supply. You want drugs? Done. Dames? They’re a dime a dozen. But stay on your toes because they’ll take you for all you’re worth. Everyone is work- ing an angle, looking out for number one. Your friend could become your enemy, and if the circumstances are right, your enemy could just as easily become your friend. Alliances are as unpredictable and shifty as a career criminal’s moral compass. Is all this the world of 1940’s and 50’s film noir? Absolutely. But, tures like the Glenn Ford vehicle The Blackboard Jungle (1955) and Bas two recent works—the television show Veronica Mars (2004- melodramas like James Dean’s first feature,Rebel Without a Cause 2007) and the filmBrick (2005)—convincingly argue, it is also the (1955). But a noir film from the years of the typically accepted noir world of the contemporary American high school. cycle (1940-1958) populated primarily by teenagers and set inside a That film noir didn’t extend its seductive, deadly reach into the high school simply does not exist. Perhaps noir didn’t make it all the high schools of the forties and fifties is somewhat surprising, given way into the halls of adolescent learning because adults still wanted how much filmmakers danced around the edges of what we now to believe that the teens of their time retained an element of their call noir when crafting darker stories about teens gone bad.
