Beginning with January 1985 and continuing through the fall of 2007, this work provides month-by-month prime time schedules for all national broadcasting networks; a detailed listing of all network programming moves, including series premieres, cancellations, and time slot moves; and a yearly recap of key programming moves. Only regularly scheduled series are included. Single event or special programming is not included. Together with its predeces- sor volume, Television Network Prime-Time Programming, 1948–1987, also pub- lished by McFarland, these two works provide the most thorough chronicle of broadcast television network prime time programming in existence. This book is organized into seven chapters, each representing a different night of the week. Each chapter consists of individual month-by-month prime time schedules for each network (including the newly formed CW and MYTV net- works), followed by a detailed chronological listing of every one of that network’s series and programming moves (series premieres, series cancellations, and time slot moves). At the end of each chapter is the summary of key programming moves for each television season since January 1985. The author has compiled the information herein in part from personal expe- rience. In addition, several sources were used in compiling the program listing information. These sources include TV Guide, Broadcasting/Cable, TV Week and weekly ratings from the A.C. Nielsen Company. ix How to Use This Book This book provides day-by-day informa- Year: The year (e.g., “1956”) that the tion (for all seven nights of the week) for pro- specific programming occurred grams airing in prime time (8 P.M. to ¡¡ P.M., Month: The month that the specific pro- Monday through Saturday; and 7 P.M. to 11 P.M. gramming move occurred on Sunday) on eight broadcast networks: ABC, Time: The time (Eastern Time zone) that CBS, NBC, Fox, WB, UPN, CW and MYTV. the program started each day that it aired Each day’s section consists, first, of SCHE- Title: The specific title of the series DULE GRIDS showing the particular times Type: The type of program shown in a (Eastern Time) that the programs aired and, two-letter code (for instance, AD would repre- second, LISTINGS showing the programs’ “moves” sent Adventure) using the following abbrevia- (debuts, cancellations, time slot changes) tions: throughout their runs.

  • A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected]
    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • 5.0-6.0 the Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North Knew From
    5.0-6.0 The Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English — but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny's cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family. The Gate Thief Card, Orson Scott 5.3 In this sequel to The Lost Gate, bestselling author Orson Scott Card continues his fantastic tale of the Mages of Westil who live in exile on Earth in The Gate Thief, a novel of the Mither Mages.
