Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • 'All in the Seventies'. Riflessioni Sul Cronotopo Della Sitcom Americana E
    ’All in the Seventies’. Riflessioni sul cronotopo della sitcom americana e la rappresentazione mimetica della contemporaneità Cinzia Scarpino Introduzione: sitcom, mimesi, cronotopi Nella storia della televisione americana, gli anni Settanta sono associati a un cambio di paradigma nella programmazione della CBS e del suo allora presidente Robert D. Wood verso una serie di sitcom che si aprono alla rappresentazione diretta delle tensioni economiche, sociali e culturali del paese (Gitlin 1985: 179-185). A inaugurare la stagione delle sitcom cosiddette «socialmente rilevanti» sarà All in the Family, creata da Norman Lear e trasmessa dalla CBS – sfidando previsioni scoraggianti e campioni di ascolto inizialmente tiepidi – tra il 1971 e il 1979 (per proseguire poi fino al 1983 con il nome di Archie Bunker’s Place). Il programma di Lear resterà al vertice del gradimento televisivo degli americani per cinque anni di fila – dal 1971 al 1976 – e vincerà quattro Emmy Awards come «Outstanding Comedy Series» tra il 1971 e il 1978 (Gunzerath 1997: 58). Che una sitcom – genere televisivo depositario di visioni rassicuranti del focolare domestico fin dagli anni Cinquanta – si rivolga a temi sociali controversi e spesso fino a quel momento «proibiti» quali «stupri, funzioni funerarie, morti riprese dalla telecamera, omosessualità maschile e femminile, mastectomie, vasectomie, menopausa, frigidità, impotenza, terrorismo politico, perdita della fede religiosa, per non dire razzismo e altre forme di fanatismo e pregiudizio» (Keefer 1981: 12), è una novità Between, vol. VI, n. 11 (Maggio/ May 2016) Cinzia Scarpino, ’All in the Seventies’ assoluta contenuta tuttavia nelle convenzioni del format (Gitlin 2014: 12). Centrale, in All in the Family, sarà proprio la trasformazione della famiglia – una famiglia delimitata sul set in uno spazio-tempo domestico fisso e riconoscibile – in «arena politica»: Prior to All in the Family, social problems were portrayed as something that happened “out there” in the public arena […].

Reimers Southwestern Oklahoma State University AMERICAN FAMILY TV SITCOMS THE EARLY YEARS TO THE PRESENT Fathers, Mothers, and Children—Shifting Focus and Authority In approaching domestic sitcoms, we might usefully employ the chiasmus raised by Clifford Geertz in his essay, “Culture, Mind, Brain/Brain, Mind, Culture” wherein he presents the double consideration of “the mental nature of culture, the cultural nature of mind” [204]. Applying this mirror image viewpoint to television, we may consider the degree of cultural influence upon television and conversely, the influence of television in shaping culture. The shifting roles of family members within American society and the ways in which those roles are depicted on television provides one area for exploring this concept. In first thoughts on this topic, we might ponder the father figure of the 1950s and 1960s as the somewhat stern and almost infallible Ward Cleaver, flanked by the somewhat gentler demeanors of Jim Anderson of Father Knows Best or Andy Griffith of The Andy Griffith Show, but father figures no less force- ful in their assurance about the right way to handle the events faced by their families. The fathers’ roles in Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best give fa- thers the primary voice in the household.

  • Swinger: “Yeah, What Do You Call It?” Archi
    by Caroline Woodruff for the University of Minnesta First-Year Writing Program under the Department of Writing Studies Open Minds and How to Swing It Archie: “Swinging? Is that what you call it?” Swinger: “Yeah, what do you call it?” Archie: “Communism.” And so Archie Bunker has just realized that a couple that his wife Edith naïvely responded to after finding their ad in the Swingers section of a magazine on the subway, is in their living room right now fully expecting an evening of wife-swapping. This All in the Family series episode, “The Bunkers and the Swingers,” aired in the fall of 1972 when the so-called “free love” movement was in full swing. Narrated by a comical character who represents bigotry, All in the Family was creator Norman Lear’s groundbreaking show that took a straight forward, unflinching, yet humorous look at American socio-political issues of the 1960s and 1970s. Racism, women’s liberation, homosexuality, privacy rights, abortion, religion, rape, sexual mores, Watergate, and the Vietnam War were issues exposed and then explored for the first time in a weekly half-hour television program. Conversation and debate around the subject matter of the latest episodes ultimately influenced the country by opening minds and hearts. Exploring current socio-political issues helped in overcoming our fears about them. “The Bunkers and the Swingers” opens with Edith Bunker (called Dingbat by Archie) talking with daughter Gloria about a married couple she’s met through a friendship magazine. It becomes obvious to Gloria that her innocent mother doesn’t understand that the husband and wife have made a date with the Bunkers to swing.

  • Isabel Sanford the Popular TV Series the Jeffersons Celebrated the Success of Hard-Working Black Families
    Famous New Yorker Isabel Sanford The popular TV series The Jeffersons celebrated the success of hard-working black families. Louise Jefferson’s rise to wealth on the show mirrored the long climb to success of the woman who played her, Isabel Sanford. Eloise Gwendolyn Sanford was born in Harlem on August 29, 1917. She was the only child in the family to survive infancy. While attending high school she wanted to become an actress. She performed in secret because her mother considered show business immoral. Her mother’s death forced her to take her mother’s place as a cleaning woman to make ends meet. Eventually, calling herself Isabel, she found work with the American Negro Theater and other acting companies while working daytime jobs to Courtesy of Lemack & Company support three children born in an unhappy marriage. Management and In 1960 with $700 in savings she left her husband and Joyce Brock Photography moved with her children to California. She saw the move as her last chance to succeed as an actress. The move eventually paid off. In 1963 the veteran actress Tallulah Bankhead cast Sanford as Gertrude, a maid, for her national tour in George Oppenheimer’s comedy Here Today. The role was small and stereotyped but gave her important exposure across the country. A bigger opportunity came when actor-director Frank Silvera cast her in James Baldwin’s The Amen Corner. As the ambitious Sister Moore, Sanford made her Broadway debut on April 15, 1965. Among those who saw her was Stanley Kramer, the director of hit films from the serious Inherit the Wind to the comic It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

    40. 055) i+ CRITICISM AMD TELEVISION COMELY DRA.L'-: AN ANALYSIS OF ALL IN THE FAMILY .John Lewis Wright A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1975 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY IA (c) 1975 JOHN LEWIS WRIGHT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED W.'YW 610296 ABSTRACT Television has become the medium for the most popular art forms of our time, and there is a need for television criticism which is investi­ gative and founded on knowlege of traditional patterns of artistic ex­ pression. Television comedy drama is a new part of a long comic tradi­ tion. At the same time the medium itself changes somewhat the nature of the work; for example, the structure and pace of television comedy is highly controlled, the process of creation is communal, and the per­ vasiveness of the broadcast medium provides an audience of the greatest diversity. To demonstrate the application of traditional literary theories and methods, the various elements in the success of the American tele­ vision comedy series All in the Family are analysed, using the original scripts of the first four seasons as source materials. The British pro­ totype, Till Death Us Do Part, is examined in some detail as the Ameri­ can series is closely based on this program, with its bigoted father, absent-minded mother, and their troublesome daughter and son-in-law in realistic conflict in a lower-class setting. The study then traces the premiere of All in the Family: the process of getting the program broadcast, the critical reception, and the popularity of the series in its first season.
