PORTRAYALS of TEEN RELATIONSHIPS and INTERACTIONS in TEEN SHOWS Hannah Mahany, Christine Madden Psychology Department, Ithaca College

“YOU AIN’T NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME”: PORTRAYALS OF TEEN RELATIONSHIPS AND INTERACTIONS IN TEEN SHOWS Hannah Mahany, Christine Madden Psychology Department, Ithaca College While some studies have examined the content of teen drama shows (e.g., Ortiz & Brooks, 2014), few studies have looked at portrayals of teens in teen-oriented situation comedies. The present study is a descriptive, longitudinal content analysis of 91 teen sitcom-style episodes focusing on the presence of gender messages and interactions among teens involved in different types of relationships (e.g., friends, significant others, siblings, enemies). The sample was taken from programs videotaped from 1993-2017 for the Center for Research on the Effects of Television (CRETV) archive at Ithaca College. Episodes were selected based on the presence of unrelated teen characters interacting with one another, with an emphasis on shows that took place primarily outside of the home (e.g., Saved by the Bell, Zoey 101, Victorious). The unit of analysis for coding each show was the presence of a teen dyad (two teenagers interacting together in two or more scenes within the episode). Characters were only coded as teenagers if they were attending middle or high school, or their age was explicitly noted as being between 12- 18 years old. Working in pairs, coders tracked the relationship type, frequency of displays of affection, gender messages, and interactions reflecting the nature of the dyad (e.g., put-downs, compliments, conflicts, cooperation). Results showed that teen dyads were most often portrayed as same-gender or mixed-gender friendships, where the teens often experienced conflict resolution within the episode. In addition, teens were more likely to be portrayed as wanting to be in a relationship rather than actually dating. .

Contentious Comedy
1 Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era Thesis by Lisa E. Williamson Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Glasgow Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies 2008 (Submitted May 2008) © Lisa E. Williamson 2008 2 Abstract Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era This thesis explores the way in which the institutional changes that have occurred within the post-network era of American television have impacted on the situation comedy in terms of form, content, and representation. This thesis argues that as one of television’s most durable genres, the sitcom must be understood as a dynamic form that develops over time in response to changing social, cultural, and institutional circumstances. By providing detailed case studies of the sitcom output of competing broadcast, pay-cable, and niche networks, this research provides an examination of the form that takes into account both the historical context in which it is situated as well as the processes and practices that are unique to television. In addition to drawing on existing academic theory, the primary sources utilised within this thesis include journalistic articles, interviews, and critical reviews, as well as supplementary materials such as DVD commentaries and programme websites. This is presented in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of the textual features of a number of individual programmes. By providing an examination of the various production and scheduling strategies that have been implemented within the post-network era, this research considers how differentiation has become key within the multichannel marketplace.

Are Introverts Invisible? a Textual Analysis of How the Disney and Nickelodeon Teen Sitcoms Reflect the Extrovert Ideal

It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract In 2012, Susan Cain published a nonfiction book: Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, in which she claimed that the modern western society was dominated by the Extrovert Ideal and it led to “a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness” (Cain, 2012, p.12). The concept of Extrovert Idea, according to her, is the “omnipresent belief that the ideal self is gregarious, alpha and comfortable in the spotlight” (Cain, 2012, p.4). Other psychologists and cultural historians also mentioned this cultural ideal, stating that it changed how people teach, how people work, how people interact with each other, and how people perceive themselves. Cain noticed a change in the characters portrayed in teen sitcoms: they are not the “children next door” of the 1980s; instead, they are rock stars and celebrities with extremely extroverted personalities.

Sardonic Humor Is My Way of Relating to the World__ Audience
1 Abstract: There is a lengthy history of teenagers on television, and of teenagers as a television viewing audience. Over the past decade, developments in how technology allows audiences to interact with television have affected both the structure and content of television that features and caters to teenagers. Using specific texts (most notably Gossip Girl (The CW, 2007-2012), Riverdale (The CW, 2017-), and Heathers (Paramount, 2017)) and the paratexts formed by audience members in their interaction online with the original texts and their creators, this thesis seeks to understand how teen television has adapted itself to fit the models created by the internet and its users and the nature of its potential repercussions for the genre and for television in general. 2 “Sardonic Humor is My Way of Relating to the World”: Audience Interaction With Teen Television, 2007 - Present Chloe Harkins Bachelor of Arts Thesis, Film Studies Program 3 Acknowledgements: I would like to first thank my thesis advisor, Robin Blaetz, whose infinite enthusiasm for and faith in this project, as well as her patience in approaching a subject out of her usual realm of study, truly was what kept it going. Thank you to the other two members of my thesis committee; Elizabeth Markovits, who has provided consistent support and massively assisted my growth throughout my four years at Mount Holyoke, and Amy Rodgers, who gave me one of my most rewarding experiences in a class during my last semester. Thank you to all my professors at Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, and Amherst, especially those in media studies who helped me build the understanding of television/the internet/“television and the internet” that became the basis for this work.

Anthony Anderson Biography - Life, Family, Children, Parents, Name, Wife, School, Mother
3/5/2020 Anthony Anderson Biography - life, family, children, parents, name, wife, school, mother World Biography (../in… / A-Ca (index.html) / Anthony Anderso… Anthony Anderson Biography August 15, 1970 • Augusta, Maine Actor, writer, producer Anderson, Anthony. AP/Wide World Photos. Reproduced by permission. With his boyish face and gap-toothed smile, and weighing over 270 pounds, Anthony Anderson is not a typical Hollywood leading man. In fact, for most of his career he has played second banana in such films as Big Momma's House (2000), Barbershop (2002), and Kangaroo Jack (2003). In March of 2003, however, Anderson signed a deal with the Warner Brothers Network to write, produce, and star in his own TV sitcom, All About the Andersons. And in 2004 he finally came into his own, appearing in at least four major movies. In fact, most moviegoers couldn't turn around without seeing Anderson grinning down from the screen. In an interview with Anderson on the Filmcritic Web site, Sean O'Connell remarked, "Few could argue with the fact that Anderson is the hardest working young talent in show business." Born into the business Anthony Anderson was born on August 15, 1970, in Augusta, Maine, but was raised in Compton, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. His mother, Dora, was a movie extra, so young Anthony literally grew up on film sets. By the age of five, Anderson followed in his mother's footsteps and began appearing in television commercials. He showed such promise as an actor that he attended a Los Angeles performing arts high school, where he won an award given by the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO), a program sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
