  • Eat. Sleep. Watch Dawson's Creek: Teenagers
    EAT. SLEEP. WATCH DAWSON’S CREEK: TEENAGERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF TEENAGE LIFE ON DAWSON’S CREEK by AMANDA STEWART HALL (Under the Direction of MARIA CAROLINA ACOSTA-ALZURU) ABSTRACT Drawing on cultural studies, especially Hall’s theory of encoding and decoding of texts (1973), this study examines how a sample of the audience of Dawson’s Creek, a Warner Brothers’ Television show, interpret and relate to the show and whether they incorporate these meanings in their lives. Ten in-depth interviews were conducted with females aged 15- to 21-years-old to discern the reality of representations on the show of teenage life and how these participants engage with the show. Findings suggest the show enables its viewers to identify with the portrayal of the teenage experience, especially when examining the show’s characters. Limitations of the study include the diversity of the sample used. Future research suggestions include an examination of how the show’s messages are encoded by the show’s creative team. In addition, future research should include a more in-depth examination into how Dawson’s Creek has changed the nature of teenage television.

Well, things change fast. The conversion has been postponed until June 12, 2009 to allow more time for TV viewers to get ready to receive the new digital TV signals. If you receive your TV signals from satellite or over cable you will not be affected but if your signal originates from a set top antenna or an attic or outside antenna your TV will go dark when the dreaded day arrives unless you take action. Unless you have one of the newer televisions designated as Digital TV or HDTV, which has an integrated digital TV tuner, you will need to purchase a digital TV converter to convert the digital TV signals back to analog TV signals in order for your older analog TV to receive any television signals. Most all of the new DTV channels are in the UHF Low band so you might also want to consider getting a new UHF antenna to replace your old VHF or VHF/UHF antenna.
