  • Television Programming
    Chapter 10: Television 1 Television I: Television Programming 10.1 Felix the Cat, 1929. 10.2 First human step on the moon. 10.3 The toppling of Saddam. “This is television. That’s all it is. It’s nothing to do with people. It’s the ratings. For fifty years, we’ve told ‘em what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. For Christ’s sake Ben, don’t you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows. They love wrestling. They love sports, violence. So what do we do? We give ‘em what they want.” Actor Richard Dawson, as a game show host, in The Running Man (1987, US, Paul Michael Glaser) Television has changed the perceptual base of Western culture and has profoundly influenced the development of other mass media popular arts. It has also changed the avant- garde. The structure and icon function of television programming will be discussed in this chapter. The next chapter will discuss television commercials. Chapter 10: Television 2 The main reason for the cultural and artistic impact of television is easy to identify: for the first time in Western history, the primary source of culture-building images is located within the home itself. Television has produced images ranging from the Felix the Cat doll (10.1) used in NBC’s experimental broadcasts before World War II to the live shots of an American setting foot on the surface of the moon (10.2) to belated scenes of the invasion of Grenada to images of the 2003 war with Iraq such as the one of a Saddam Hussein statue discussed at the very beginning of this book (10.3).
