It seemed more like two months. At times, even two weeks. Why? Because even though I have worked in TV for more than three decades, I have never seen our industry undergo such extraordinary — and extraordinarily exciting — changes as it has in recent years. Everywhere you turn, the vanguard is disrupting the old guard with an astonishing new technology, an amazing new show, an inspired new way to structure a business deal. This is not to imply that the more established segments of our industry have been pushed aside. On the contrary, the broadcast and cable networks continue to produce terrific work that is heralded by critics and rewarded each year at the Emmys. And broadcast networks still command the largest viewing audience across all of their platforms. With our medium thriving as never before, this is a great time to work in television, and a great time to be part of the Television Academy. Consider the 65th Emmy Awards. The CBS telecast, hosted by the always-entertaining Neil Patrick Harris, drew our largest audience since 2005. -

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.

This Is Not a Kwik-E-Mart! The Satire of Libraries, Librarians and Reference Desk Air-Hockey Tables Casey D. Hoeve Introduction Librarians are obsessed with stereotypes. Sometimes even so much so that, according to Gretchen Keer and Andrew Carlos, the fixation has become a stereotype within itself (63). The complexity of the library places the profession in a constant state of transition. Maintaining traditional organization systems while addressing new information trends distorts our image to the outside observer and leaves us vul- nerable to mislabeling and stereotypes. Perhaps our greatest fear in recognizing stereotypes is not that we appear invariable but that the public does not fully understand what services we can provide. -

Die Simpsons schnellen aus verschiedenen Öffnungen hervor, und ein überdimensionierter Hammer versucht sie auf den Kopf zu treffen. Letzten Endes wird (ausschließlich) Homer erwischt. Ist euch aufgefallen ... ... das Lisas Schulklasse 71 kg Papier auf die Waage bringt? ... das die große Uhr in Mr. Burns Büro römische Ziffern trägt? ... das Mr. Smithers in Appartment Nr. 19 wohnt? ... das Mr. Burns für seine Busfahrt gar nicht bezahlt? ... das Mr. Smithers Spielpuppen sammelt? ... das Mrs. Smithers im Jahre 1954 geboren wurde (25 Jahre nach dem Börsencrash von 1929) und demnach 42 Jahre alt ist? Referenzen / Anspielungen / Seitenhiebe - Sowohl der übersetzte als auch originalgetreue Episodentitel spielen auf die Erzählung „Der alte Mann und das Meer” an, welche 1952 von Ernest Hemmingway veröffentlicht wurde. - Das zombieähnliche, monotone Verhalten, das die Bewohner Springfields bei der Anfahrt der „Klein Lisa”-Lastwagen zeigen, ähnelt den teilnahmslosen Auftritten der Menschen im Spielfilm „Invasion der Körperfresser”. Gaststars - Wrestler Bret Hart ersteigert das Anwesen von Mr. Burns. Bezüge zu vorhergehenden Simpson-Episoden - Ein weiteres Mal verliert Mr. Burns seinen Eigentumsanspruch auf das Kraftwerk. Dergleichen geschah zuvor in der Folge „Kraftwerk zu verkaufen” (S03E11). Szene-, Bild- und Textauffälligkeiten - Mr. Smithers hat sich für seinen Einkauf eine Menge vorgenommen. -
