Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

INTRODUCTION Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.1 For any American who has turned on his or her television since 1978 and tuned into one of the traditional broadcast networks—ABC, NBC, CBS, or Fox—these seven words have been conspicuously absent from broadcasting. Confusingly, with a flip of the remote over to a premium cable television station, these seven words may all occur in quick succession on one television show.2 When one of them does happen to make it to air on a broadcast network, it often becomes the source of an astronomical fine from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and years of litigation between the network and the federal government.3 A recent case resulted in a huge victory for broadcasters.

But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed.

  • Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Abstract I. Introduction
    82 — Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 11, No. 1 • Spring 2020 Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Christina Mastrocola Cinema and Television Arts Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Historically, television has been dominated by male leads, but feminism and the challenges faced by working women are becoming more prominent in recent programming.This study analyzed two comedy television shows with female lead characters, Broad City and Veep, to examine if their main characters break traditional gender roles. In addition, this research studied if Broad City portrayed more feminist values than Veep, using feminist theory, which examines obvious and subtle gender inequalities. Three episodes from each show were chosen, selected by a ranking website. The coder analyzed three subcategories: behavior, interpersonal relationships, and occupation. This study concluded that both Broad City and Veep depicted strong female lead characters who broke gender roles continuously through their behavior, relationships, and occupation. Broad City depicted more feminist values through their main characters’ friendship, empowerment of female sexuality, as well as their beliefs against traditional gender roles. This conclusion sheds light on the fact that women in television, especially female lead characters, do not have to be portrayed in a traditionally feminine way. I. Introduction Society has placed gender roles upon men and women, expecting everyone to conform. These roles derive from “traditional societal roles and power inequalities between men and women” (Prentice & Carranza, 2002, p.1). These stereotypes are often learned through observation, including portrayals in television, film, and other forms of media.
