The Middle 24-Teilige US-Serie Ab Donnerstag, 1 13. Januar 2012 The Middle 24-teilige US-Serie Ab Donnerstag, 1. März 2012, 18.40 Uhr Inhalt 2 Für Familienfans und Familienskeptiker Vorwort von Florian Weber und Sebastian Lückel 3 The Middle Stab, Inhalt, Folgeninhalte, Episodenübersicht 14 Biografien 17 Kontakt, Bildhinweis und Impressum 1 13. Januar 2012 Für Familienfans und Familienskeptiker Wenn eine Frau im mittleren Alter in einem Superhelden-Kostüm in einem Maisfeld herumläuft, dann ist das im Normalfall seltsam. Im Fall von "The Middle" ist das aber nicht seltsam, sondern witzig und völlig in Ordnung. Handelt es sich doch um eine waschechte Sitcom, die ihr komödianti- sches Potential nicht selten aus gerade solch ent- und verrückten Situationen zieht. Die Frau im Superhelden-Kostüm heißt Frankie Heck und ist in der Regel, sagen wir mal – ein wenig gestresst. Sie hat einen Job, einen Ehemann, drei Kinder, die alle irgendwo zwischen Früh-, Vor- und Spätpubertät stecken. Kein Wunder, dass Frankie sich auf ihrem neuen Führerschein- foto kaum wiedererkennt und sich fragt, was nur aus der gutaussehenden Frau auf dem alten Führerscheinfoto geworden ist. Gut, wenn dann der Gatte den Unterschied der beiden Fotos so plausibel wie feinsinnig zu er- klären versteht: "Na ja, damals warst du jung und sexy und darauf gespannt, was das Leben dir bringen wird – und jetzt, tja, jetzt weißt du’s." Freunde kann man sich aussuchen, seine Familie bekanntlich nicht. Im Fernsehen ist das zum Glück anders, hier kann man sich seine "TV- Familie" sehr wohl aussuchen – der Fernbedienung sei Dank. Und es gibt gerade im Sitcomgenre einige Fernseh-Familien, die viele Zuschauer – wie ihre eigene Familie – mit all ihren Fehlern und Überspanntheiten ins Herz geschlossen haben. Ob diese Familien nun Simpson ("Die Simpsons"), Tanner ("Alf", "Full House"), Huxtable ("Die Bill Cosby Show"), Conner ("Roseanne"), Banks ("Der Prinz von Bel-Air"), Bundy ("Eine schrecklich nette Familie") oder Heffernan ("King of Queens") heißen. Die Familie Heck, die sich aus Frankie, Mike, Axl, Sue und Brick zusammensetzt, ergänzt perfekt diese Liste der Lieblings-TV-Familien. Die von den erfahrenen Ko-Autorinnen Eileen Heisler und DeAnn Heline ("Roseanne", "Lipstick Jungle") erdachte Serie "The Middle" ist eine perfekt besetzte, witzig geschriebene, aktuelle und durch und durch komische US-Serie in bester Tradition der Familien-Sitcoms. "The Middle" gewährt einen humorvollen Blick auf eine semidysfunktionale amerikani- sche Durchschnittsfamilie und hält dabei nicht zuletzt den ein oder anderen unorthodoxen Lösungsvorschlag für den alltäglichen Familien- wahnsinn bereit. Sitcom-Freunde, Familienfans und Familienskeptiker sind bei den Hecks jedenfalls genau richtig. Florian Weber und Sebastian Lückel Redaktion ZDFneo 2 13.

Television Redaktion ZDFneo Sebastian Lückel, Florian Weber Länge jeweils ca. 20 Minuten Die Rollen und ihre Darsteller: Frankie Heck Patricia Heaton Mike Heck Neil Flynn Axl Heck Charlie McDermott Sue Heck Eden Sher Brick Heck Atticus Shaffer Bob Chris Kattan Mr. Ehlert Brian Doyle-Murray und andere Inhalt: Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton) ist dreifache Mutter, liebevolle Ehefrau und die vermutlich schlechteste Autoverkäuferin des amerikanischen Mittelwestens. Zusammen mit ihrem treuen, aber etwas gemütlichen Mann Mike (Neil Flynn) lebt sie in Orson, Indiana, in der "Mitte" der USA. Ihren Alltag bestimmen die großen und kleinen Probleme mit ihren drei Kindern. Der 16-jährige Axl (Charlie McDermott), benannt nach dem Frontmann der Band "Guns'n'Roses", ist zwar ein beliebter Sportler, steckt aber noch immer in der Pubertät und rebelliert, wo er nur kann. Seine jüngere Schwester Sue (Eden Sher) ist mit einer Zahnspange gepeinigt, aber auch damit, dass sie trotz großen Enthusiasmus' bei all ihren Versuchen etwas Besonderes zu leisten scheitert. Auch Frankies jüngster Sohn Brick (Atticus Shaffer) ist ein merkwürdiger Kauz. Er ist zwar hochintelligent, spielt aber lieber mit Büchern statt mit seinen Altersgenossen. Kurzum Frankie muss sich rund um die Uhr um ihre Familie kümmern. 3 13. Januar 2012 The Middle – Episodeninhalte Der neue Führerschein (Pilot, Folge 1) Frankie Heck hat es nicht immer leicht. Nicht nur, dass sie sich in ihrem Job als Autoverkäuferin mit hinterlistigen Kollegen und unmöglichen Kunden herumschlagen muss, sie muss gewissermaßen im Alleingang den Haushalt ihrer fünfköpfigen Familie schmeißen. Ihr treuer Mann Mike, der Aufseher im örtlichen Steinbruch ist, steht ihr zwar bemüht, doch wenig hilfreich zur Seite. So liegt es größtenteils an Frankie, ihre drei Kinder Axl, Sue und Brick zu erziehen. Axl ist der rebellische Teenager- Sohn und Star-Athlet der High-School. Sue ist die Mittlere, das so genannte "Sandwich-Kind", und die einzige Tochter. Sie versucht praktisch ununterbrochen, ihre neurotischen Selbstzweifel durch die Beteiligung in unzähligen Schul-AGs zu kompensieren – leider mit ausbleibendem Erfolg. Brick, der jüngste Sohn, ist hochintelligent, doch der Umgang mit anderen Menschen fällt dem kauzigen, aber liebenswerten Eigenbrötler sichtlich schwer. Er zieht ein gutes Buch jeder Form von zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation schamlos vor. So schlägt sich Familie Heck tagtäglich durch den ganz normalen Wahnsinn des amerikanischen Mittelstandes in Orson, Indiana, in der "Mitte" der USA. Neuerdings sorgt Frankies neues Führerscheinfoto für Sorgenfalten auf ihrer Stirn. Im Gegensatz zu ihrem alten Foto sieht sie nun regelrecht alt und erschöpft aus. Ihr Mann Mike sieht die Sache wie alles andere auch – sehr gelassen. Doch Frankie verzweifelt langsam, aber sicher an dem Versuch, Berufs- und Privatleben erfolgreich zu vereinen. In ihrem Job steht sie kurz vor der Entlassung, da sie noch kein einziges Auto verkaufen konnte. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass sie regelmäßig von der Arbeit weg ins Sekretariat der Schule bestellt wird, wenn wieder eines ihrer Kinder etwas verbrochen hat. Doch als Sue endlich einen Platz in der Musical-AG erlangt, scheint sich das Blatt für Familie Heck endlich einmal zum Guten zu wenden. Das Schwimmteam (The Cheerleader, Folge 2) Familie Heck stehen turbulente Zeiten bevor. Nachdem der so dringend benötigte Wäschetrockner den Geist aufgegeben hat, flattern zu allem Überfluss auch noch unzählige Rechnungen ins Haus. Als wenn das nicht schon genug wäre, verlangt auch die Schulbibliothek happige Überzie- 4 13. Januar 2012 hungsgebühren. Die Hecks schlagen wohl oder übel den Sparkurs ein und Frankie startet einen letzten verzweifelten Versuch, ihren Job zu retten. Überraschenderweise springt ihr Chef dieses Mal auf ihre Masche an, doch das Glück währt nicht lange. Die ehrgeizige, aber glücklose Sue hat sich unterdessen ein neues Ziel gesetzt: Sie will unbedingt ins Schwimmteam der Schule aufgenommen werden. Der Hochzeitstag (The Floating Anniversary, Folge 3) Mike hat zum Hochzeitstag eine willkommene Abwechslung für Frankie eingeplant. Ein erholsamer Trip zum Teppich-Restbestände-Lager und eine Übernachtung in einem Motel auf halber Strecke sollen den beiden ihren Ehrentag versüßen. Doch selbst diese kleine Freude ist den dauergestressten Eltern anscheinend nicht vergönnt: Ihr jüngster Sohn Brick wird unvermittelt krank, ihre glücklose Tochter Sue ist zum ersten Mal verliebt und der rebellische Axl lernt Autofahren. Zudem benötigen Frankies Tanten im fortgeschrittenen Alter immer mehr Hilfe. Und dann wäre da noch deren ebenfalls nicht mehr ganz jugendlicher Hund Doris, der viel Zuneigung einfordert und für einen Haufen Arbeit sorgt. Der Schulausflug (The Trip, Folge 4) Sue hat mit dem Verkauf von Käse und Wurst in der Nachbarschaft genügend Geld gesammelt, um an einem Schulausflug nach Indianapolis teilnehmen zu können. Doch auf der Liste der Teilnehmer ist sie nicht zu finden. Ihre Mutter Frankie will diese Gemeinheit nicht auf sich beruhen lassen. Sie ermutigt Sue, für ihr Recht einzustehen und die Verantwortli- chen zur Rede zu stellen. Währenddessen hat sich der kauzige Brick mit Olivia unfreiwillig eine Freundin angelacht, die er nicht mehr loswird. Stellt sich die Frage, ob es wenigstens seinem gutmütigen Vater Mike gelingt, die anhängliche Olivia wieder abzuwimmeln. Das Straßenfest (The Block Party, Folge 5) Die Vertrauenslehrerin der Schule eröffnet Frankie und Mike, was beide eigentlich schon lange geahnt haben: Weil Bricks soziale Kompetenzen stark zu wünschen übrig lassen, fällt es dem liebenswürdigen Eigenbröt- ler schwer, Freunde zu finden. Daraufhin macht es sich Mike zur Aufgabe, seinen jüngsten Sohn mit anderen Kindern bekannt zu machen. Im 5 13. Januar 2012 Basketballteam soll Brick neue Freunde finden. Frankie ist derweil auf die Liebe ihres ältesten Sohns Axl versessen. Alle Mütter des Footballteams erhalten das Trikot ihrer Söhne – als Liebesbeweis. Nur Axl verschenkt seines an eine andere Frau, was Frankie regelrecht auf die Palme bringt. Vielleicht kann ja das alljährliche Straßenfest die Wogen wieder glätten. Die Haustür (The Front Door, Folge 6) Axls aufmüpfiges Verhalten ist seit längerer Zeit nicht mehr tolerierbar. Als der rebellische Teenager dann auch noch versehentlich die Haustür beim Zuschlagen aus den Angeln hebt,

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler).

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • Expert Panelists Consider Community Development's Next Wave Intro
    Expert Panelists Consider Community Development’s Next Wave Intro In spring of 2015, LISC NYC’s Executive Director, Sam Marks invited friends of LISC - top economists, policy analysts, journalists, community development gurus and current leaders of some of the city’s top community development corporations - to join staff in strategizing around critical questions facing New York’s community development sector. What can LISC NYC and its community development partners do to counter global and national trends exacerbating economic polarization? What is community development’s role in shaping the city’s upcoming neighborhood rezonings, preserving affordable housing, and, building human capital? How can the industry scale up even as it consolidates and redeploys resources to new areas and programming? Over the course of three panel discussions moderated by Marks, presenters and LISC NYC staff shed some light on next wave strategies for New York City’s neighborhoods. Panel 1: Global City/Global Trends: Panelists explained the global trends driving high real estate prices, economic polarization, gentrification and displacement and debated about the levers available to city government, LISC NYC and community developers to alleviate the harsh impacts on low and moderate income New Yorkers.

  • Lisa Donovan Has Been Hailed by Critics As an All- Around Entertainer Who Can Do It All
    Lisa Donovan has been hailed by critics as an all- around entertainer who can do it all. As an actress, she won an award from the Southern California Motion Picture Council as "Outstanding Newcomer of the Year." As a singer, Lisa consistently receives rhapsodic reviews from the toughest critics in the business. As a comedienne, she's been praised for performing comedy with Lucille-Ball-like precision timing. And as a dancer, she received high critical praise from no less a publication than The New York Times. Lisa just finished a two-year run as Mother Superior in the delightful, world-famous musical comedy NUNSENSE at the now-named Westgate Hotel, formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, the hotel Elvis Presley called home. Lisa proved her enormous singing range on the long-running television show FACE THE MUSIC, which was broadcast first in national syndication and later on cable networks for more than a decade. On that show Lisa performed everything from soft rock to light opera and set some Guiness-type world records. In all, she sang parts of more than eleven thousand musical numbers. On the New York stage, Lisa starred in a revival of BABES IN ARMS, directed by the legendary Ginger Rogers, who hand-picked Lisa for the role. That's the play in which Lisa received all that praise from The New York Times, which actually likened her to a young Ginger Rogers. Lisa has performed non-musically as well. On the stage in Los Angeles, she played all three female roles in Sean Waldron's chilling drama about atomic radiation poisoning.

  • Community Rebranding: a Case Study
    COMMUNITY REBRANDING: A CASE STUDY A Project Presented to the Faculty of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science In Hospitality Management By Michelle L. Pecheck Spring 2015 SIGNATURE PAGE PROJECT: COMMUNITY REBRANDING: A CASE STUDY AUTHOR: Michelle L. Pecheck DATE SUBMITTED: Spring 2015 The Collins College of Hospitality Management Dr. Ed Merritt _________________________________________ Project Committee Chair Associate Professor Dr. Margie Jones _________________________________________ Associate Professor Dr. Neha Singh _________________________________________ Director of Graduate Studies Associate Professor ii ABSTRACT Intro: This case study profiles Claremont, a city of approximately 37,000 residents. Since its formation in 1887, it has primarily been known as a college town with a history of citrus production. This case study investigates what components would need to be in place to rebrand or reposition the city as a unique, healthful destination. Case: A resident survey, interviews, and focus groups were used to gather qualitative data about residents’ perceptions of the city’s current brand and potential rebranding. Management & Outcome: Scope of work for the focus city included data gathering from residents, and identification of projects, services, and designations to support marketing of the city as a health/wellness destination. Discussion: Data from surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews indicated that residents were uncertain of the City’s current brand, in general appeared to care little about the brand, and lacked information about the City’s interest in a possible future rebranding. Further, City documents revealed a history of departmental rebrandings that may have obscured the City’s current brand image.

  • Production Information
    Production Information Ladies’ man David teaches his dating tricks to his lonely, widowed grandfather Joe, while using those same tricks to meet Julie, the woman of his dreams. But as David's foolproof techniques prove to be anything but, the same techniques quickly transform Grandpa Joe into the Don Juan of the retirement community. But soon it's up to Grandpa Joe to teach David that the best way to win the game of love is not to play games at all.

  • A New Resource for Middle Class Families
    Airbnb: A New Resource for Middle Class Families 1 Good Neighbors On average, Airbnb hosts have lived in their hometowns for almost 20 years. For millions of immigrants, the long journey toward the American Dream went past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. These families came to the United States searching for a better life in a land full of opportunity, where happiness and fnancial stability could be achieved through hard work. Today, the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of this hope and the freedom to pursue the American Dream, but for many families, that dream feels increasingly out of reach. Economic turmoil and stagnating incomes have meant that hard work alone no longer guarantees Americans will be able to provide comfortable lives for their families. Amidst this uncertainty, we are proud that Airbnb has become an economic lifeline for the middle class. Home sharing and Airbnb allow local residents to use what is typically one of their greatest expenses — their home — to make additional income that helps them pay the bills. 2 Policymakers are taking notice and acting to support home sharing and the middle class. Today, Jersey City — less than half a mile from the Statue of Liberty — proposed new legislation that would make the City the frst location in the tri-state area to pass common sense home sharing laws. Jersey City has a robust history as a hub for middle class families and we appreciate city leaders’ work to pass progressive rules that support working men and women. Making Ends Meet Money earned from home sharing helps nearly 60% of Airbnb hosts stay in their homes.
