Mike Post hill street blues is the title of the American television police drama that aired on NBC starting in 1981.Debuting with winning eight Emmy Awards and receiving a total of 98 nominations during his time, it was named the all-time Best Cop Show in the 1993 TV Guide.Even recently, in 2014, the show is remembered as on the short list of the most influential television shows ever made. Whether through general actors, writers, directors or through stylistic and thematic complexities, his DNA can be found in almost every great drama produced in the 30-odd years since he debuted. We present a piano sheet for the theme song of this TV show, of the same name. The theme song for Hill Street Blues was written by Mike Post, with the help of guitarist Larry Carlton. Lent, being an American multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer, is well known for writing others thematic songs such as NYPD Blue, Rockford Files, Law and Order, quantum leap, L.A. Law or Magnum, P.I., just to call famous ones. In his extensive career, Post has also worked as a songwriter and arranger, being a fan of rock, pop and soul and using, along with his vocals, guitar, bass and keyboard. Related to acts such as Mason Williams, Kenny Rogers, First Edition or Van Halen, Mike Post has produced a good theme song that allows us now to share with you their piano sheets. Being an instrumental and slow song, mostly using the piano, the theme song can be considered boring, but it corresponds to the action of the show and the characters, and that is what is most important in television themed songs.

Chronicle Show officers at one police station on Hill Street in an unnamed major city. Blue are cops in blue uniforms. The show received critical acclaim, and its production innovations influenced many subsequent drama series produced in the United States and Canada. In its debut season, the series won eight Emmy Awards, a season debut that later surpassed only the West Wing. During its launch, the show received 98 Emmy nominations. Background MTM Enterprises developed the series on behalf of NBC, appointing Stephen Bochco and Michael Cosall as the show's writers. Writers were allowed the freedom to create a tv series that gathered a number of fresh ideas in a television drama. Each episode featured intertwined storylines, some of which were resolved within the episode, with others developing throughout the season. Conflicts between the life of work and the personal lives of the characters were also significant. The series featured a strong focus on the workplace struggle between what is right and what works. Almost every episode began with a pre-credit sequence (or teaser) consisting of a (mission) briefing and roll call to begin the day shift. With Season 3, it used to be on ... the montage of clips up to six episodes preceded the roll call. Many episodes took place during one day, concluding with Captain Frank Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti) and public defender Joyce Davenport (Veronica Hamel) in an internal situation, often in bed, discussing how their respective days went. The series dealt with real issues and used professional jargon and slang to a greater extent than previously shown on television. Every week after the roll call, from the first season to the death of Michael Conrad, halfway through Season 4, Sergeant Phil Esterhouse said, Let's be careful. Sergeant Lucille Bates continued the tradition until the end of Season 4 as a tribute to Michael Conrad. From Season 5 to the end of the show, Sergeant Stan Jablonski concluded with the words, Let's go out there and do this with them before they get together. The production of The Hill Street Blues used what was, at the time, a unique style of camera use for weekday television productions, such as shooting close with action cuts quickly between stories. Instead of studio (floor) cameras, portables have been used to enhance this style. Overheard, behind-the-scenes dialogue, the rumoured documentary view of the filmed scene. Although filmed in Los Angeles (both locally and at the CBS Studio Center in Studio City), the series is set in a shared unnamed downtown location with a sense of U.S. urban center in the Midwest or Northeast. Bochco reportedly intended this fictional city to be a hybrid of Chicago, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. The programme focuses on and those at the bottom of the social scale is expressed, in contrast to later Bochco L.A. Law projects. Inspired by police procedural detective novels such as Ed McBain's 1956 Cop Hater, the show has been described as Barney Miller out of doors. Focusing on the bitter realities of urban life in the 1980s was revolutionary for its time. The theme song for Hill Street Blues was written by Mike Post, featuring Larry Carlton on guitar. It was released as a single and became a U.S. hit, reaching #10 the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in November 1981. It was also an adult modern hit in the US and Canada. The song has no lyrics, however, in the Family Guy episode, some of the characters sing the song with lyrics made by Carter Pewterschmidt, the father-in-law of the show's patriarch Peter Griffin. The lyrics are: Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues, I have those Hill Street Blues. The lyrics should go along with the melody of the song.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

  • Baseball, Hitchcock Themes Meld in Bartman Movie? Busfield Likes the Idea
    Baseball, Hitchcock themes meld in Bartman movie? Busfield likes the idea By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 18th, 2013 The confluence of two longtime Holly- wood genres – a baseball movie and a Hitchcockian tale of the wrong man falsely accused and trying to prove his innocence – could come together if things ever broke right for Timothy Bus- field. Such a finished product was on the mind of a too-curious man with a digital re- corder asking actor-director Busfield if the Steve Bartman story would transfer well to the silver screen. “That’s a great story,” Busfield said. “He does an instinctual thing that may or may not cost them the World Series op- Timothy Busfield (right) stops by the party for CSN Chicago's "5 Outs" documentary. With him is CSN portunity. That’s more of a baseball Chicago public relations chief Jeff Nuich. movie I would rather make.” How do you put Bartman and Busfield together in the first place? Well, on the way to his own business meeting in an adjoining room, the three-decade Hollywood veteran happened to walk through the cocktail party end of Comcast SportsNet Chicago’s preview showing of “5 Outs,” the 90-minute documentary on the 2003 Cubs. The encounter with Busfield took place on the 10th anniversary of Bartman’s date with destiny – and ignominy. And the luckless Bartman along with the star-crossed Game 6 of the ’03 Cubs-Miami Marlins NLCS was a big chunk of the show. In the sub- ject of real and potential baseball movies, the Bartman saga sounded appealing.

    Rescuing Men: The New Television Masculinity In Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Boston Legal, & Dexter A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Pamela Hill Nettleton IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mary Vavrus, Ph.D, Adviser November 2009 © Pamela Hill Nettleton, November/2009 i Acknowledgements I have had the extreme good fortune of benefitting from the guidance, insight, wit, and wisdom of a committee of exceptional and accomplished scholars. First, I wish to thank my advisor, Mary Vavrus, whose insightful work in feminist media studies and political economy is widely respected and admired. She has been an inspiring teacher, an astute critic, and a thoughtful pilot for me through this process, and I attempt to channel her dignity and competence daily. Thank you to my committee chair, Gilbert Rodman, for his unfailing encouragement and support and for his perceptive insights; he has a rare gift for challenging students while simultaneously imbuing them with confidence. Donald Browne honored me with his advice and participation even as he prepared to ease his way out of active teaching, and I learned from him as his student, as his teaching assistant, and as a listener to what must be only a tiny part of his considerable collection of modern symphonic music. Jacqueline Zita’s combination of theoretical acumen and pragmatic activism is the very definition of a feminist scholar, and my days in her classroom were memorable. Laurie Ouellette is a polished and flawless extemporaneous speaker and teacher, and her writing on television is illuminating; I have learned much from her.

  • “Advanced Dialogue Class”
    Handout for David Freeman’s “Advanced Dialogue Class” Draft: May 20, 2014 [email protected] (310) 394-0361 Don’t miss the next “Beyond Structure” Screenwriting and Development Master Class Los Angeles – June 14-15 $100 off if you fly in! www.beyondstructure.com Some notes regarding the “Advanced Dialogue Teleconference” In advance of the teleconference, please watch each clip, and then read the script sample that goes with it. Then move on to the next clip, etc. We won’t be pausing during the teleconference to watch the clips. It’s not easy finding scripts for individual television episodes. The samples were gathered where I could find them. Some are in good shape, some are not. For some I have dialogue transcripts only. However, the script selections are good enough, and that’s what counts. P. 1 Before class, please see the clips, either before or after reading each script sample in this handout pack. One good way to do it is to go back and forth –– first see a clip, and then read that same script sample in this handout pack. We live in a time when the art of writing dialogue has evolved to a very high level. There are many styles of dialogue. One isn’t better than the other –– it’s a matter of what’s appropriate for any given script. Some shows and films have “talky” dialogue: • When Harry Met Sally • ThirtySomething • Gilmore Girls The vast majority of films and TV shows have “medium talky” dialogue –– not talking, not spare with dialogue. And then some films have very spare dialogue : • Unforgiven • Pan’s Labyrinth • Wall-E If one can master talky dialogue, it’s easy to “step down” to medium or spare dialogue.

In the history of the countries around the world, it is the political leaders who get the attention and history is often measured by their reigns. Chinese history is measured by the dynasty in control at the time; England has eras dedicated to rulers and families; and the “Louis” at the time measures French history. In America, we have the presidency, our highest political office. Since the Founding Fathers, particularly George Washington, rejected the idea of a king, we have presidents to mark the passage of our history. The ceremony and protocol that has built up around the office, in order to compete with foreign leaders and legitimize the power of the country, has made the office more constant than the person holding the title, meaning the person in the job has to fit the office, not the other way around.

  • 2.11: the Leadership Breakfast
    The West Wing Weekly 2.11: The Leadership Breakfast [Intro Music] HRISHI: You’re listening to The West Wing Weekly. My name’s Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: And my name’s Joshua Malina. HRISHI: Today on the show we’re talking about Season Two, Episode Eleven. It’s called “The Leadership Breakfast”. JOSH: The story was by Paul Redford, this one was written by Aaron Sorkin [laughter] I can’t think of another joke to make about the fact that he writes them all [laughter] and it was directed by Scott Winant. A very good director, I know came up, in early Thirtysomething, he directed and produced a lot of early Thirtysomethings. HRISHI: He’s not the first Thirtysomething director to come through. JOSH: That’s true, we’ve had Ken Olin. HRISHI: Mm-hmmm. Here’s a synopsis of the episode from TV Guide: “With Congress reconvening, the White House is planning a leadership breakfast ‘to encourage bipartisan co-operation.’ But first, Toby must meet with Ann Stark, the senate majority leader’s new chief of staff to go over details, and there are plenty of devils in those details. Ann’s boss, it appears, has presidential ambitions. ‘They’re coming after us,’ Toby tells Leo. Meanwhile, Sam wants to move the press corps to new quarters across the street, and Leo, Sam, and Donna embarrass themselves in front of an influential columnist.” JOSH: There it is. What did you think of this episode? HRISHI: I really liked it. I think it’s a great one. What did you think? JOSH: I totally agree.
