  • Harry Met Sally
    ‘GOODNIGHT FOR JUSTICE’ PRODUCTION BIOS LUKE PERRY (Executive Producer) – In 1989, Luke Perry was chosen for a starring role on the internationally popular television series “Beverly Hills 90210,” in which he portrayed the brooding but sensitive Dylan McCay. The highly-rated program won a Golden Globe® Award for Best Dramatic Television series in 1991. Perry made his feature film debut in a starring role in “8 Seconds,” the remarkable account of champion bull rider Lane Frost, which he co-produced. His serious devotion to the inspirational legend of Lane Frost led him to train vigorously for 18 months in order to master the techniques of bull riding and to be able to perform many of his own stunts during production. Other film credits include Columbia’s “Fifth Element,” directed by Luc Besson, “Riot” for Showtime, “Normal Life,” “American Strays” and “The Florentine,” in which he co-stared with Chris Penn, Jim Belushi, Michael Madsen and Mary Stuart Masterson. Perry made his debut on Broadway in the critically acclaimed musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show , where he portrayed “Brad,” the character originally played by Barry Bostwick in the cult film classic. In 2004, Perry appeared onstage in London opposite Allyson Hannigan in When Harry Met Sally . Not one to be typecast because of his work on “90210,” Perry’s television credits include a myriad of roles, including a lead in the NBC drama “Windfall,” HBO’s “John From Cincinnati,” starring for two seasons on “Jeremiah,” the Showtime Network sci-fi series, a multi-episode arc on HBO’s critically acclaimed series “Oz,” in which he portrayed a televangelist convicted of fraud, as well as roles in Hallmark Channel productions “Johnson County War,” “Supernova,” “A Gunfighter’s Pledge” and “Angel and the Badman.” In addition to starring in “Goodnight for Justice,” Perry also conceived the idea and executive produced the Hallmark Movie Channel Original Film.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

    EPISODE #000 “PILOT” Tonight meet the new kids in town on the 90 minute season premiere of “Beverly Hills, 90210” Twins Brandon and Brenda begin school at trendy West Beverly High after moving from Minnesota. Brandon joins the newspaper and meets Andrea Zuckerman, the intelligent and devoted editor. Brenda is befriended by snobbish Kelly, who picks her as a chemistry lab partner to avoid being paired with a fat girl. A rich but reclusive girl invites the entire school (except the freshmen) to a party at her house, complete with a live rock band. Freshmen David and Scott crash the party, and the drunken Steve asks David to drive him home. David accidentally damages the car, prompting Steve to begin a frantic search for the culprit. Brandon connects with the hostess, Marianne, and goes on a date with her. He insinuates that they slept together, prompting rumors to fly at school. Andrea is disappointed in him. Brandon clears the air about Marianne over the campus radio station. He follows Andrea home to explain himself, and discovers that she lives out of district. Brenda and her friends get fake IDs, but only Brenda gains entry to a club. She becomes romantically involved with a lawyer in his mid 20s, but her academic performance and relationship with her family begin to suffer.

PUB DATE 20 Nov 94 NOTE 29p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (80th, New Orleans, LA, November 19-22, 1994). PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Blacks; College Students; Cultural Context; *Females; Higher Education; *Mass Media Use; Popular Culture; *Racial Differences; Racial Identification; *Television Viewing IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; *Beverly Hills 90210; Ohio State University ABSTRACT A study examined how African American women construct meaning in the television show "Beverly Hills 90210." The analysis was to examine how women of color decode and negotiate one of the most popular youth-oriented Eurocentric television shows--one in which none of the regular cast members are of African-American descent. Methodology was largely ethnographic. It consisted of observing five black college women watching the show in a residence hall on the Ohio State University campus, and then of in-depth interviewing of the same five women. Results showed that the women read the television show in a way directly opposed to that of the reading preferred by the dominant ideology. Although they do not see themselves represented in the show, there is still an identity that is important to them to know about since everyone else watches the show. The oppositional reaelng allows these viewers to have a bird's eye view of the fantasy that the women on the show live through, while still appreciating their own strengths as strong African-American women.

  • The Living Television: Alloy Entertainment and the Brand New Girl
    THE LIVING TELEVISION: ALLOY ENTERTAINMENT AND THE BRAND NEW GIRL _______________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Brandon K. Hernsberger May, 2014 THE LIVING TELEVISION: ALLOY ENTERTAINMENT AND THE BRAND NEW GIRL _______________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Brandon K. Hernsberger May, 2014 ABSTRACT Alloy Entertainment has fundamentally changed the landscape of teen media (YA fiction and the television adaptation) by decentering the teenager (especially the teenage girl) and instead focusing squarely on how the teenager in media can help promote Alloy’s own brand mission of advertising itself as a marketing corporation within the spaces of its products (books and television programs). Alloy does this through the semiotic marking of gender in and through its products to resemble the way that it, Alloy Entertainment, markets itself as well as through the repetition of seven brand principles (of Alloy’s design) seen especially in Alloy’s three most popular (and most socially shared) book to television properties: Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, and Pretty Little Liars. These properties can be seen as three separate parts of the same thing—that is, different versions of one singular brand mission: the promotion of a real company within the fictional spaces of narrative. The Alloy girl is: (1) sexually depraved; (2) terrorized; (3) highly dependent on a male counterpart for self-actualization; (4) surveilled; (5) marked by class and/or race; (6) representative of a nationalist gender identity (a social agent); and (7) a child acting as an adult.

  • Class of 1998 History
    Class of 1998 History The ten years that have passed since we graduated from Franklin & Marshall College have gone by so very fast for most of us. In fact, so did our four years at F&M. However, in those four years, the Class of 1998 surely made our mark in the annals of Franklin & Marshall history. The Class of 1998 made the most of the opportunities afforded to us by F&M. Most of the time we upheld the traditions and legacy of F&M and its founders. Yet, like most classes, we had our fair share of “memorable” moments that, well, let’s just say we certainly added to the experience of all students, faculty, alumni and administrators alike during our time on the picturesque Lancaster campus. The nearly 430 students that graduated in our class entered F&M at a time when Pulp Fiction was on the big screen and the television-hit series Friends not only debuted, but quickly became a permanent part of our lives joining Jerry, Elaine, George and Cosmo Kramer. At the same time, we also watched Brandon Walsh and his sister Brenda slowly make their way out of our lives on “Beverly Hills 90210.” We experienced many highs and lows in our world during our time at F&M -- too many to list them all. But, we will certainly remember watching the O.J. Simpson criminal trial verdict being announced. Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated and the Unabomber was found while we were students. Most of us were just returning to campus in August of 1996 when we first heard the news of Princess Diana’s tragic death.
