  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Classic Tv and Faith: Vii - Leave It to Beaver ‘Red and Yellow, Black and White
    “CLASSIC TV AND FAITH: VII - LEAVE IT TO BEAVER ‘RED AND YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE . .’” Karen F. Bunnell Elkton United Methodist Church August 19, 2012 Galatians 3:23-29 Luke 19:1-10 Life has been different this week without the Olympics on television. I don’t know about you, but I was glued to the TV for two weeks, watching the action. I don’t want to tell you how many nights I stayed up until midnight watching the competition, and then when my alarm went off at 5:30 a.m., turned it back on again. It was so great to watch how well everyone did. Who will ever forget watching Michael Phelps achieve something no other Olympic athlete has ever done? Or who will forget watching Usain Bolt run - “the fastest man alive”? Or the women’s gymnastics team, or the women’s soccer team, or the young American diver who shocked the diving world by winning the gold medal? It was all just wonderful. But you know what I always find really, really inspiring? It’s the closing ceremonies. No, not the opening ceremonies, although this year’s was exceptional, with the Queen appearing with James Bond and all. But the closing ceremonies are always wonderful for one big reason, in my opinion - that all of the athletes come on to the field in a group - all nations, all athletes, all sports - one great, huge group of humanity. They join together across competitive boundaries, and national boundaries, and ethnic boundaries, and language boundaries - they forget all of that and just revel in joy together at what they’ve experienced at the Games! It is absolutely wonderful, and I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that it is a portrait of the coming kingdom of God - where all dwell together in harmony, as one.

TV LAND CELEBRATES THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF LEAVE IT TO BEAVER WITH 24 HOUR ON-AIR SALUTE BEGINNING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6TH Marathon Features Show’s Rarely-Seen 1957 Pilot, “It’s A Small World” TV Land.com Offers Full Streaming Episodes, Exclusive Photos and Sweepstakes New York, NY – September 26, 2007 –- TV Land celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of television’s beloved family sitcoms, Leave It To Beaver, with a 24 hour marathon beginning on October 6th at 8:00PM ET/PT concluding on Sunday, October 7th at 8:00PM ET/PT. The marathon includes the rarely-seen 1957 pilot entitled “It’s a Small World” that features Jerry Mathers as the Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver; Paul Sullivan as Wally and Barbara Billingsley and Max Showalter as the parents June and Ward Cleaver. Additionally, veteran comedic actor Harry Shearer is seen in one of his very first roles as Frankie, a neighborhood tough guy. Leave It To Beaver is one of the first sitcoms to take a look at life from a seven-year old’s point of view. Much to the dismay of his parents, Ward and June, “Beaver” got himself into and out of one childhood jam after another. In addition to the All-American Cleavers, audiences fondly remember the shenanigans of Eddie Haskell who tried hard to sweet talk the adults all the while bullying Beaver and his pals. The show premiered on October 4, 1957 and followed “Beaver” and his brother, Wally through their adolescent years, with the series ending September 12, 1963 with Wally going off to college and “Beaver” starting his teenage years.

    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF STATE STATE OF COLORADO CASE NO. OS 20050006 AGENCY DECISION IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPLAINT FILED BY LELAND GILBERT REGARDING ALLEGED CAMPAIGN AND POLITICAL FINANCE VIOLATIONS BY ALLIANCE FOR COLORADO FAMILIES. History of the Case This case concerns a complaint filed March 28, 2005 with the Secretary of State by Leland Gilbert against Alliance for Colorado Families (“ACF”). The complaint alleges that the Defendant ACF is a political committee and that it accepted 32 contributions of more than $500 per House of Representatives election cycle as prohibited under Colo. Const. art. XXVIII, Section 3(5). The Secretary of State referred the complaint to an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) as provided by Colo. Const. art. XXVIII, Section 9(2)(a). Prehearing conferences were held on April 14, 2005 and on May 6, 2005. The parties agreed that no hearing was immediately required as the issues were primarily legal ones. Instead, the parties agreed to have the ALJ determine whether a violation occurred. The parties agreed this could be done via a stipulated set of facts and motions for summary judgment. In the event a violation was proven, the parties agreed that a separate hearing would be held on the issue of proper sanction. After the completion of briefing, the ALJ, on July 5, 2005, issued an Order Granting Summary Judgment as to Liability. The Order concluded that ACF was liable for a violation of Section 3(5). A hearing as to appropriate sanction was therefore held August 30, 2005. At the hearing and throughout this case Scott Gessler, Esq represented the Complainant.
