  • "Command Performance"
    “Command Performance” (Episode No. 21)—Bob Hope, Master of Ceremonies (July 7, 1942) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Bob Hope Soldiers line up for a “Command Performance” performance Radio’s unique “Command Performance” series was the brainchild of producer Louis G. Cowan. Cowan had joined the radio division of the US War Department just prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. With the commencement of the war though, Cowan found his job suddenly changed: rather than producing shows for civilians, he now found himself charged with creating programs for thousands of new servicemen stationed all around the globe. So he happened upon an idea. Many new members of the armed forces were no doubt having to quickly and awkwardly adjust to their new regimented military existence, to the myriad of commands and orders they now had to obey. What would happen if, instead of taking commands, they were allowed to give them, at least in terms of entertainment? Similar in nature to TV’s later “You Asked For It!,” Cowan’s “Command Performance” would solicit requests from servicemen the world over and ask them what they wanted to hear over the air. Cowan and his radio staff would then do their best to make it happen for them. From the beginning, to show their support for the troops, performers of all types (recruited via letters and ads in “Variety”) were generous with their time and talents. And both CBS and NBC donated their studios and recording facilities to the production. Even the major unions and show business guilds relaxed their rules in order to do these shows for the war effort (with the caveat that the shows be heard only by military personnel).

  • Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller
    Reviewed by Ken Feil Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller. Duke University Press. 2019. 232 pages. $99.95 hardcover; $25.95 paper; also available in e-book. In Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History, Quinlan Miller presents a revelatory historical reassessment of the US network sitcom of the 1950s and 1960s in addition to rethinking camp, an ironic performance and reception sensibility usually associated with white, gay male culture. Arguing that non- binary gender is a constitutive element of both camp and situation comedy formulas, Miller disputes the assumptions of both television history and camp studies with meticulous research spanning institutional procedures, social- historical context, and textual features. The subject of camp remains marginal in television studies, as W. D. Phillips and Isabel Pinedo recently observed, despite holding a pivotal position in television history.1 Genealogies of cult TV, furthermore, have rendered camp either invisible or hovering in the fringes.2 Miller confirms the centrality of camp to television aesthetics at the same time as they challenge the typical historical narrative of camp TV, which begins in the 1960s with the iconic network series Batman (ABC, 1966– 1968) and the burgeoning mainstream currency of “camp” sensibility generated by 1 W. D. Phillips and Isabel Pinedo, “Gilligan and Captain Kirk Have More in Common Than You Think: 1960s Camp TV as an Alternative Genealogy for Cult TV,” Journal of Popular Television 6, no. 1 (2018): 23– 27, https://doi.org/10.1386/jptv.6.1.19_1. 2 Phillips and Pinedo, “Gilligan and Captain Kirk,” 21– 23; Philippe Le Guern, “Toward a Constructivist Approach to Media Cults,” in Cult Television, ed.
