I must admit, I love All in the Family, however for me this is just a bit better. Bill Macy was the perfect husband for her, playing Walter to a T. Conrad Bain and Rue McClanahan were wonderful as well, playing the slightly nutty Harmon's, and watching their relationship develop was a testament as to how the writers could bring two characters believably together. This show also tackled as many serious subjects as All in the Family.

HRISHI: It’s episode 22, and it’s called ‘What kind of day has it been’. JOSH: It was written by Aaron Sorkin, it was directed by Tommy Schlamme, and it originally aired on May 17th, in the year 2000. HRISHI: Here’s a synopsis.. JOSH: A hrynopsis? HRISHI: [laughs] Sure.. JOSH: I just wanted to make sure because, you know, it’s an important distinction. HRISHI: An American fighter jet goes down in Iraq, and a rescue mission ensues to find the pilot. But, it’s a covert operation, so CJ has to mislead the press. Toby’s brother is onboard the space shuttle Columbia, but it’s having mechanical difficulties and can’t land. Plus, Josh has to meet with the Vice President to bring him around to the Bartlet administration's plans for campaign finance. President Bartlet travels to Rosalind, Virginia, to speak at the Newseum and give a live town hall meeting. But as they’re exiting, S#&* goes down and shots ring out. JOSH: Well done HRISHI: Before we even get into the episode though, Josh, I want to ask you about the title. ‘What kind of day has it been’ is a very Sorkin title, it’s been the finale for lots of things that he’s done before.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES PRESS CONTACT: Emily Lu 909-472-6955 [email protected] FILM INFO: Origin: USA Filming Location: Los Angeles, CA Format: Red Camera (4K), Color Runtime: 21 minutes Website: http://www.strange-case.com ©2009 STRANGE CASE SYNOPSIS Dr. Ben Jacobs saved the world. The drug he created allowed mankind to fight back against the Z- virus, which nearly destroyed civilization as we know it. Now, in the aftermath of the crisis, he’s trying to cure the last victims of the virus. But what will happen when he brings his mysterious work home? ABOUT THE PRODUCTION In 2007, New York filmmaker Alex Horwitz found the MySpace page of one of his cult heroes, John La Zar, star of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. On a whim, Horwitz invited La Zar to lunch during a trip to LA, and La Zar accepted. Soon after, Horwitz wrote Alice Jacobs is Dead with La Zar in mind for the lead role of Dr. Ben Jacobs. Looking for inspiration for the titular character, Horwitz thought of one of his favorite leading ladies of genre fare, Adrienne Barbeau. “I never thought she’d do it,” says Horwitz, “But I wrote for her, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled when she actually said, ‘Yes.’” The role of George was tailored for rising TV star, Peter Cambor, who had played a cloned Jesus Christ in Horwitz’s short mockumentary, The J2 Project. “I’m incredibly lucky,” Horwitz claims, “I wrote this film for three specific actors, and I got all three to do the film.

  • Media Narratives and Possibilities for Teachers' Embodied Concepts of Self
    Available online at www.jmle.org The National Association for Media Literacy Education’s Journal of Media Literacy Education 4:2 (2012) 149-158 Media Narratives and Possibilities for Teachers’ Embodied Concepts of Self Jane S. Townsend School of Teaching and Learning, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Patrick A. Ryan School of Education and Human Services, Mount St. Mary’s University, Emmitsburg, MD, USA Abstract Non-print media of radio, television, and film tell narratives about the image and practice of teachers, but how might these media narratives shape conceptions of teachers as well as teachers’ conceptions of themselves? What elements of the media narratives do we incorporate and reject in the narratives that we construct about their professional identities? How do these media and personal narratives interact with larger social narratives, such as the purposes for schools and gender role expectations? We take a historical view of the shaping power of media narratives and the contexts in which they flourished by looking to past depictions of teachers in radio, television, and film. Keywords: teacher image, popular media, narrative analysis, ideological frames, audience reception “We are shaped according to the habit of spectacle.” rests on their ability to offer sufficient coherence within (Fleckenstein 2003, 55) our ideological frames. Because of the evolving social, In reviewing trends in media literacy cultural, and historical contexts in which we create education, Martens (2010) emphasizes helping K-12 narratives as well as our own individual sense of self, students analyze mass media texts, with some scholarly these texts are often revised as new information is discussion about higher education contexts.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
