All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

Twelve Angry Men is a courtroom drama broadcast initially as a television play in 1954. The following year it was adapted for the stage, and in 1957 was made into a film. It has since had numerous remakes, adaptations, and tributes. Selected in 2007 for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant,” it was rated as the second-best courtroom drama ever (after To Kill a Mockingbird) by the American Film Institute. What a Character-Study Is Meant to Be (IMDB User Review, 8 June 2002) Intense courtroom drama having 12 very different people, all males, struggle with a murder case involving a young Puerto Rican boy that seems cut-and-dried. However, Juror 8 (Henry Fonda) does not believe it to be as sure-fire as it appears. He votes not guilty and what follows is a chain of events that will test the views, beliefs and thoughts of the other 11 members. Fonda is great, but Lee J. Cobb steals every scene (and that is not easy to do in a film like this).

ONE INSPIRING JURY Phoebe C. Ellsworth* TWELVE ANGRY MEN. By Reginald Rose. Woodstock: The Dramatic Publishing Company. 1955. Pp. 63. $5.95. Americans love to complain about the jury. They complain about being called for jury duty. They complain about jury verdicts in highly publicized cases. They are outraged by the failure to convict "obviously guilty" criminals, such as the police officers in the cases of Rodney King and Amadou Diallo, the Menendez brothers in their first trial, and of course O.J. Simpson. In civil cases, they are appalled when plaintiffs win huge damage awards in "obviously frivolous" lawsuits. Juries are ignorant and uneducated, juries are gullible, juries are swayed by passion and prejudice rather than reason.

ABSTRACT i Today’s world of entertainment often seems plagued by a case of unoriginality. Regurgitating old ideas for programming has become the norm, as corporations are more willing to finance ideas that, in the past, have been profitable. Originality often takes a backseat. This thesis project contains within it an original feature film screenplay along with a reflection paper that not only describes the creation of the screenplay, but how the creation was done with acknowledgement of literary and cinematic conventions. Through completion of the screenplay, a captivating original story written was written that is both fresh and contains adherence to tradition, allowing real viability in the film industry. ii Table of Contents Screenplay – “The Silence He Keeps” 1 Reflection Paper 134 Bibliography 139 The Silence He Keeps By Brad Rothseid BLACK SCREEN: SUPERIMPOSE: "A man is known by the silence he keeps" - Oliver Herford FADE IN: EXT.

  • 12 Angry Men (1957 Film) - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 5/29/12 9:33 AM 12 Angry Men (1957 Film) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    12 Angry Men (1957 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 5/29/12 9:33 AM 12 Angry Men (1957 film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12 Angry Men is a 1957 American drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald 12 Angry Men Rose.[3][4] Directed by Sidney Lumet, the film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt. In the United States (both then and now), a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: with the exception of the film's opening, which begins outside on the steps of the courthouse and ends with the jury's final instructions before retiring, a brief final scene on the courthouse steps and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room. The total time spent outside of the jury room is three minutes out of the full 96 minutes of the movie. 12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus- building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities Original film poster adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors Directed by Sidney Lumet swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the Produced by Henry Fonda boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady Reginald Rose across the street".
