Carlson Problem Daytime serials have been pOpular with American house- wives for over three decades. Experts believe that serial content is a-principal factor in their popularity. In l9hl Rudolph Arnheim conducted a content analysis of the radio soap Operas; the problem of this thesis was to determine the extent to which the content of television's daytime serials has changed since the days of radio and since Arnheim's study. This thesis includes (1) a study of the develOpment of the radio daytime serial, (2) an analysis of the audience studies concerning effects of the audio soap Operas, (3) an examination of radio production techniques, (A) a brief history of the televised daily drama, (5) a content analysis of a representative group of video daytime serials, and (6) a comparison of the data gathered in this contemporary television study with the data provided in Arnheim's early radio study. Procedure Background material for this thesis was gleaned from numerous books and periodicals. To secure the necessary data, a monitor report was completed for each television serial episode observed.

  • Soap Operas and Artistic Legitimation: the Role of Critical Commentary
    Communication, Culture & Critique ISSN 1753-9129 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Soap Operas and Artistic Legitimation: The Role of Critical Commentary C. Lee Harrington1, Melissa Scardaville2, Stephen Lippmann1,& Denise D. Bielby3 1 Department of Sociology & Gerontology, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA 2 ICF International, Atlanta, GA 30329, USA 3 Department of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA This article explores the artistic legitimation process of U.S. daytime soap operas through analysis of commentary published in The New York Times from 1930 to 2010. While soap operas gained economic legitimacy over time (due to profit-earning potential) and were popular with audiences, they were never widely classified as an “art” form. Through examination of 3 aspects of The New York Times articles—tone of critical commentary, viewership of critical commentary, and themes of critical commentary—we explore the role of evaluative press coverage in the validation, or lack thereof, of the soap opera form. Implications for the decline of the genre are also discussed. Keywords: Critics, Reviews, Soap Opera, Television, Artistic Legitimation. doi:10.1111/cccr.12102 Serialized narratives anchored radio and television daytime broadcasting in the United States through most of the 20th century, but the genre has declined from a high of 18 network soaps airing in 1969 to four as of this writing. Analysts point to a range of exogenous factors to explain soaps’ waning, including their core female audience entering paid labor in the 1970s and 1980s, expanding entertainment options, consumer lifestyle changes that disadvantage daily viewing habits, prime- time’s successful adaptation of serialized storytelling, and the cumulative effects of the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike (which lead to shabby storytelling), the mid-1990s O.
