Bratslavsky This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (United States) License. iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Lauren Michelle Bratslavsky Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2013 Title: From Ephemeral to Legitimate: An Inquiry into Television’s Material Traces in Archival Spaces, 1950s -1970s The dissertation offers a historical inquiry about how television’s material traces entered archival spaces. Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE READER USE 2-PAGE VIEW (BOOK FORMAT WITH SCROLLING ENABLED) IN ACROBAT READER OR BROWSER. “EVEN’ING IT OUT – A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” Television Series (minus ‘THE’)” A Study in Three Parts by Andrew Ramage © 2019, The Twilight Zone Museum. 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.

  • Winter 2018 Newsletter of Actors and Others for Animals
    WINTER 2018 NEWSLETTER OF ACTORS AND OTHERS FOR ANIMALS WWW.ACTORSANDOTHERS.COM It was more than 25 years ago that Actors and Others established its medical subsidy program. Today, the number of requests we receive is staggering and rising rapidly. Without our help, many pets would not get any treatment and face an unknown future. Pet guardians don’t anticipate that their pets may get ill or injured, and many find themselves financially unable to provide treatment. And this is even more widespread nowadays with more and more animal shelters giving away pets in an effort to adopt our more animals, charging very little or having special “2 for $10.00” promotions. While it is impossible to predict when and what illness or injury may strike your pet, it is important to understand that at some point it will. We see a lot of bladder stones, urinary infections, tumors and eye removals. A great many of the requests for help we receive are for broken bones, lacerations and amputations caused by being hit by a car. We also see a lot of cases of injuries from dog fights. The common denominator in a lot of these cases is that the dog was not on a leash. Delay in getting veterinary care also results in infections and abscesses. “Intervention” is the new buzz word in animal welfare to keep pets in the homes, and Actors and Others’ long-standing veterinary intervention program once again has shown itself to lead the way! HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW YOUR SUPPORT HAS HELPED BOTH PETS AND THEIR GRATEFUL GUARDIANS Lindsey G.
