  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • On the Morning of July 1, Ranger Sam Wick (27) Climber Kevin Laney, and I Left Camp Schurman Around 06:00 for a Summit Climb. Co
    FALL INTO CREVASSE Washington, Mount Rainier, Emmons Flats On the morning of July 1, Ranger Sam Wick (27) climber Kevin Laney, and I left Camp Schurman around 06:00 for a summit climb. Conditions were excellent with good weather, light winds, and firm snow. Weascended to approximately 12,000 feet where Mr. Laney decided he could not continue ascending the route. Around 10:15, Ranger Wick and Mr. Laney stopped to rest and prepared to descend while I continued ascending toward the summit along with another group of climbers. About 11:15, I received a radio call from Ranger Wick asking for help at Emmons Flats. However, he did not specify the nature of the incident. At this point I was at 13,500 feet. I was able to make a fast descent on skis to Emmons Flats. Arriving there I did not see Ranger Wick or any other activity, so I continued toward Schurman where I contacted Mr. Laney and was informed that Ranger Wick had not yet come into camp and was last seen above Emmons Flats. At this point I realized Ranger Wick had most likely fallen into a crevasse. I instructed Mr. Laney to return to Schurman, make contact with Anne Keller of International Mountain Guides (IMG), relay to her the situation, and help them assemble rescue and medical gear from the Ranger Hut. I then started back uphill toward Emmons Flats to look for tracks that would help me locate Ranger Wick. At 11:48, I called park dispatch inform­ ing them of the situation and requested 780 (Lofgren) be contacted.

  • Deep Calls to Deep Rev. Benjamin Broadbent the Community Church of Sebastopol, United Church of Christ June 7, 2020 – Trinity
    Deep Calls to Deep Rev. Benjamin Broadbent The Community Church of Sebastopol, United Church of Christ June 7, 2020 – Trinity Sunday Scriptures The Israelites groaned under their slavery and cried out. Out of slavery their cry for help rose up to God. God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. – Exodus 2: 23 – 24 Deep calls to deep… - Psalm 42: 7 The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. – Romans 8: 26 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… – Matthew 28: 19 I. “I can’t breathe,” he said. He even called him “sir.” “I can’t breathe.” The final moments of George Floyd’s life are now indelibly etched on the American conscience. Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin acted out the latest in an unbroken centuries-long stream of white violence toward black persons. He placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck and he didn’t remove it until 3 minutes after Floyd lost conscience. 1 “I can’t breathe” echoed the cry of Eric Garner on Staten Island in 2014. “I can’t breathe” echoed the cry of Manuel Ellis in Tacoma in March of this year. “I can’t breathe” echoes the shared experience of people of color in our country who for generations have felt the knee of white supremacy, and the full weight of whiteness, on their necks.

    1A WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2012 | YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1874 | 75¢ Lake City Reporter LAKECITYREPORTER.COM Man who Wendy’s hit by shot two intruders may face armed robbers charges Apparent home invasion victim is convicted felon. By ROBERT BRIDGES [email protected] The man who shot an apparent intrud- er to death and wounded another in his home Thursday is himself a convicted felon who may face charges for unlawful possession of a firearm, according to sheriff’s officials. Edgar Nathan Simmons, 25, Lake City, remains on probation for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer Johnnie Collins and drug charges from 2008, records from the state department of cor- rections show. Under Florida law, convicted felons are not permitted to possess firearms. However, no decision has been made Travis Brown concerning possible charges against Simmons, according to Sgt. Ed Seifert of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology Dr. Mark Sherry, Committee Chair Dr. Patricia Case, Committee Member Dr. Barbara Coventry, Committee Member Dr. Patricia R.

Under copyright law, no parts of this document may be reproduced without the expressed permission of the author. ii An Abstract of Me Want Food: A Discourse Analysis of 30 Rock by JoAnna R. Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology The University of Toledo December 2011 Using a combination of fat studies, the social construction of the body, Foucauldian approaches to the body, and cultural sociology, this thesis examines discourses about the fat female body in 30 Rock. The body is carnal and fleshy, but it is also socially constructed; this social construction has a long and deep cultural social history, and its power is particularly apparent with regard to the devaluation of the fat female body. By combining multiple theoretical approaches, a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of discourses about the fat body emerges – suggesting that even when shows such as 30 Rock engage with counter-hegemonic discourses about the body such as fat acceptance, they may revert to hegemonic and heteronormative standards of beauty and the fat body. iii For my partner and husband Levi who supported me and grew with me during this time.
