  • Jennifer Lynn Jones, Indiana University Successfully Competing in Peak TV Requires Savvy Promotions
    Shape Shifting for Time Shifting: Weight Loss in the Transmediation of This Is Us Jennifer Lynn Jones, Indiana University Successfully competing in Peak TV requires savvy promotions. Generally, “Peak TV” refers to the saturation of scripted television in this alleged new “Golden Age of Television,” with broadcast networks, cable channels, and stand-alone streaming services competing for ever more elusive viewers. Following the Pearson family and its unconventional triplets, NBC’s hit This Is Us (2016 to current) has distinguished itself in Peak TV by updating the generic conventions of a family soap with a mobile narrative temporality, constantly moving from present to past and, as season two glimpses suggest, into the future, in ways that create experiential and affective convergences between characters. This has given the show an edge in an era when network television has struggled with changing televisual viewing practices marked by both time- and platform-shifting. These relate to another significant aspect, body size: a main storyline involves the corpulence and weight loss of sister Kate, which has likewise necessitated body shaping in the contract of actress Chrissy Metz. The vicissitudes of Metz’s body extend Kate’s story, thus creating textual convergences through the body as a platform for transmediation. This response will consider how Metz’s appearances in mainstream television talk shows contribute to this phenomenon. Metz claims that she “committed to Kate’s evolution” in her audition process knowing that it would involve body shaping.1 “Body shaping” refers to any activity meant to transform the body, whether through diet, exercise, prosthetics, surgery, or cosmetology.

PHOENIX – On March 22, 2018, Florence Crittenton’s 16th annual Teaming Up for Girls Luncheon, presented by Gifts for Empowerment, will be held at the J.W. Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort and Spa to celebrate over 120 years of service to at-risk girls and young women throughout Arizona. Florence Crittenton is honored to have Chrissy Metz, Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actress, as this year’s keynote speaker. Metz is best known for her role as Kate Pearson in the series This Is Us on NBC. Metz is from Homestead, Florida. The middle child of five siblings, Chrissy took the spotlight as the ‘entertaining diplomat' of the family. She moved to Japan as an infant and lived there for nine years before moving back to the States. After being discovered in Gainesville, Florida at a local talent event that she originally attended as a chaperone for her sister, she packed up and moved to Los Angeles to find her way into entertainment. “I look forward to meeting the girls Florence Crittenton serves and to sharing my story,” said Chrissy Metz. “No matter what life throws your way or what challenges you may face, you can find healing, achieve amazing things and make a difference.” Florence Crittenton is also honored to have longtime-supporter Rebecca Ailes-Fine as this year’s honorary chair.

Whether one is a devotee of a long-running, time-tested procedural on basic cable, or a binge-watching cord-cutter glued to Hulu© on Sunday afternoons, for many of us, our television viewing habits are a part of who we are. But outside the industry where new television content is conceived and created, it is rare to pause and consider how television series are made, much less where this work is performed, and why, and by whom, and how much money is spent along the way. In this study we explore notable developments impacting the television industry and how those changes affect production levels in California and competing jurisdictions. Some of the trends we consider are: growth in the number of live-action scripted series in production, the influence of digital streaming services on this number, increasing production costs and a turn toward remakes and reboots and away from traditional pilot production.

  • This Is Us a Television Series Review by Ellen Singer, C.A.S.E
    This is Us A Television Series Review By Ellen Singer, C.A.S.E. Sr. Therapist, LCSW-C For those of you who have not yet discovered this wonderful television program on NBC about a transracial adoptive family, or if you are not caught up to Season 2 that began airing in September 2017, I’m issuing a SPOILER ALERT – as I am going to reveal the story line in this review. This Emmy nominated show is about a Caucasian couple, who in 1980, gives birth to twins (as one of the triplets did not survive) and adopts an “abandoned” African-American infant who has been placed in the nursery with their twins. (The legalities of this process are the only questionable part of the story and while that is significant, I view it as Poetic license.) The fascinating and unique aspect of the show is that the story goes back and forth in time – from the present to various time periods in the past – revealing and reflecting upon how the past experiences influence what is happening in the present. With wonderful acting and writing, it is obvious that the writers must have adoption consultants because the dynamics, issues, feelings and challenges that are sensitively portrayed regarding adoption are spot on. Themes include: adoptee loss and grief; post-adoption depression and attachment; the important challenges in transracial adoption around identity, racial socialization, and racism; birth parent loss and grief; sibling rivalry between birth and adopted siblings; the complexities of search and reunion; and more. As an adoptive mom, I especially love and appreciate how the show portrays the intense, deep love between adoptees and their families, as well as the complexities of marital/family dynamics, including ones unique to adoptive families.
