  • BILL COSBY Biography
    BILL COSBY Biography Bill Cosby is, by any standards, one of the most influential stars in America today. Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people’s lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Bill Cosby’s comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton and Jonathan Winters. The 1984-92 run of The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on how success is measured. His status at the top of the TVQ survey year after year continues to confirm his appeal as one of the most popular personalities in America. For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, was the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • Henrietta Porter in the Television Series Trackdown
    A Woman with Influence: Henrietta Porter in the Television Series Trackdown WILLIAM HAMPES In the 1950’s women on television tended to be relegated to traditional domestic roles as contented housewives: Father Knows Best (1954-1963), Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963), The Donna Reed Show (1959-1966), etc. This emphasis on domesticity was found throughout the culture at the time because although “the actual lived experience of domesticity was fraught with problems, the family ideal still promised material benefits and personal stability in a confusing world.” (Spigel 34). Even when women were single, self-supporting and competent in their chosen profession, they conformed to the traditional feminine role as, for example, in Our Miss Brooks (1952-1956) (Dow xvii). Conflicts that occurred tended to center around the normal growing pains that the couple’s children were having rather than any fundamental disagreements between husband and wife. Female resistance against gender roles was mainly confined to wives disobeying or disagreeing with their husbands, typically in shows about childless couples where conflict could not focus on the children, such as I Married Joan (1952-1955), The Honeymooners (1955-1956), and I Love Lucy (1951-1957).1 In regards to Joan and Lucy their rebellion against their respective husbands consisted of their wacky, unrealistic and unsuccessful attempts to seek employment outside of their marriage (Spigel 174- 177). Alice Kramden of the Honeymooners was different. As the long-suffering wife of her often-irresponsible husband, Ralph, she did not pull any verbal punches when she was angry and frustrated with Ralph’s inconsiderate schemes and ridiculous 1 It is true that Lucy and Ricky gave birth to little Ricky, but he was not born until the second season and appeared in only eight episodes in the first four years of the series.

  • In the History of American Primetime Television, Very Few Programs, If Any
    “T HOSE WERE THE DAYS …”: ALL IN THE FAMILY AND THE ‘P RIMETIMING ’ OF U.S. DIVERSITY AND COUNTERCULTURE Dennis TREDY Université Paris III – Sorbonne Nouvelle In the history of American primetime television, very few programs, if any, have had as startling and as permanent effect on the television landscape or have broken as many barriers as Norman Lear’s All in the Family . The program, along with the spin-offs and lookalikes spurred by it throughout the early 1970’s, brought long overdue change to the American identity that network television chose to reflect, finally bringing civil strife and intergenerational conflicts regarding race, equal rights for women and minorities, anti-war sentiment and youth culture into America’s living rooms and thereby into the forefront of public discourse. Lear’s go-for-the-jugular approach to dealing with the most divisive and politically incorrect social issues is indeed legendary, as he cleverly used the Trojan horse of laughter to deliver hard truths, and as he understood that America’s deep-seated problems had to be dealt with head-on if they were ever to be overcome—so as to root out the evil, as it were, so that the country could heal. In order to appreciate the true impact that this ground-breaking CBS sitcom had on the television landscape, it is essential to first understand just how “out of touch” the television landscape of the late 1960’s was, the laughably meager steps that had been taken to touch on themes of diversity and counterculture, and the confluence of circumstances that made such a radical change even imaginable, let alone possible.
