  • Cultural and Linguistic Issues of Sitcom Dubbing: an Analysis of "Friends"
    CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ISSUES OF SITCOM DUBBING: AN ANALYSIS OF "FRIENDS" Tanja Vierrether A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2017 Committee: Kristie Foell, Advisor Geoffrey Howes © 2017 Tanja Vierrether All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristie Foell, Advisor In this thesis, I analyze the different obstacles of audiovisual translation, in particular those of dubbing, by reference to the German dubbing of the American Sitcom Friends. One of the main reasons why audiovisual translation is so complex is that it requires interdisciplinary knowledge. Being fluent in the source and target language is not enough anymore, Translation Studies must open up to Communication Studies, Media and Film Studies, Cultural Studies, as well as to Semiotics, Sociology, Anthropology” (Gambier and Gottlieb xii), and possibly other disciplines, in order to provide a sufficient translation that does not lose the entertaining value of the source text, within the new environment of the target language. The following analysis investigates the balance between translating cultural and linguistic aspects, and their effects on humor retention in the target text. Therefore, the first part of this thesis provides an overview of translation theory, and in particular humor translation, and translation of culture-bound references. In the next part, I analyze a selection of dubbing examples from the fourth season of Friends, divided into intra-linguistic culture-bound references and extra-linguistic culture-bound references. After comparing those results, my final claim is that giving precedence to the translation of stylistic devices over cultural references, often results in loss of humor, context, and sometimes even sense.

  • How a Sitcom Becomes Successful
    HOW A SITCOM BECOMES SUCCESSFUL By Vivian Lei A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 11, 2017 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED __________________________ Dr. Michael Bucklin Department of Theatre, Film, and Digital Production __________________________ Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Jr. Chair and Faculty Director, University Honors Interim Vice Provost, Undergraduate Education Abstract Sitcoms become successful due to elements in the show that can be related to audiences. I define success in terms of popularity. In addition, writers and producers have to consider the audience and the events of the time period. My methodology consists of textual analysis. I will be focusing on two specific sitcoms: Friends and The Big Bang Theory. Friends, which premiered in 1994, echoed the 1990’s economy and rising popularity of the coffee house culture. The Big Bang Theory, which premiered in 2007, reflected the renewed interest in science at that time and the struggle of human contact due to the increase use in social media. These two shows succeeded because they spoke to the audiences of that generation and embodied the cultural shifts of the period. Furthermore, the shows illustrate the culture through their unique characters and events. Martin Gitlin articulates in his book, The Greatest Sitcoms of All Time, about a character’s development to attract and grasp in audiences. He states that each character is unique in personality and the relationships within the show entice audiences because they wish to see the characters’ social lives. My hope is that this research will benefit me as an aspiring actor to gain knowledge of the process of producing a successful sitcom.

    “FRIENDS” FINALE PRESS KIT Table of Contents Summary Biographies Awards Quotes Impact on TV Guest Stars Montage Photos Timeline Trivia Fast Facts LEGACY AND IMPACT OF ‘FRIENDS’ ON THE TELEVISION INDUSTRY “Along with ‘Seinfeld,’ its Thursday-night sibling, ‘Friends’ redefined the television sitcom at the end of the century. Six attractive kids learning about life -- that was nothing new. But in ‘Friends,’ there was no father, no boss and no authority at all to teach them how to ride a bike or tell them how to get out of second gear. ‘Friends’ explored what might have happened on ‘The Brady Bunch’ if Mike and Carol had run out for a pack of smokes and never come back. “Lots of comedies were influenced by ‘Friends’ -- including ‘Sex in the City’ -- and it may prove to be one of the most ‘re-runable’ series of all time.” --Robert Thompson, Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television, Syracuse University Over a decade, “Friends” has had a lasting impact on both NBC’s fortunes on “Must See TV’ Thursdays as well as on the television landscape in general. Following are some comments regarding the contributions of the Emmy Award-winning comedy from entertainment industry leaders and reporters. “The cast is exceptional but the brilliance of ‘Friends’ lies in its stories and character arcs. Audiences have unconditionally bonded with the choices and details of these characters lives. While always funny and entertaining, it's this connection that gives the show its potent ‘Must See’ punch. “With its tremendous 18-49 success story, every network for the last 10 years has tried to find its own ‘young adult’ signature comedy.

  • La Série “Friends” S'offre Un “Pop-Up Store” À New York
    Culture / Culture Célébration du 25e anniversaire de sa création La série “Friends” s'offre un “pop-up store” à New York © D.R Le fameux canapé orange du Central Perk, les fauteuils en cuir noir inclinables de Chandler et Joey ou la guitare de Phoebe, tout est là dans cet espace éphémère dédié à la série Friends, inauguré samedi à New York. Pour marquer le 25e anniversaire des débuts du programme, Warner Bros, producteur de la série, a décidé de nourrir abondamment l'étonnante popularité dont bénéficie toujours Friends (1994-2004), 15 ans après la diffusion du dernier épisode. Des projections d'épisodes emblématiques sont prévues dans plus de mille salles de cinéma aux États-Unis, des lignes de meubles et de jouets ont été lancées, et des versions du canapé orange circulent un peu partout dans le monde. Mais c'est à New York, où la série est censée se dérouler même si elle a été entièrement tournée en Californie, que le studio a frappé le plus fort. Dans un immense loft de Soho au sud de Manhattan, il a remonté, avec de nombreux éléments d'origine protégés par des vitrines, le décor de cette série culte. Même les éléments recréés pour l'occasion ménagent le caractère “instagramable” de cette mini-exposition qui affiche complet jusqu'à sa fermeture, le 6 octobre : les visiteurs peuvent poser sur les fameux fauteuils en cuir, ou en train d'ouvrir la porte de l'appartement de Rachel et Monica. “C'est comme un musée”, s'enthousiasme l'acteur James Michael Tyler, qui jouait Gunther, le serveur taiseux du Central Perk.

By Robert W. Dalton A lot of people have had Zoom calls with the boss over the past year and half. Fadzai Mushayamunda ’22, is no exception. As part of her internship with NBC News’ “TODAY” Show, Mushayamunda, a humanities major and Bonner Scholar from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, got to sit in on a call with The Boss. As in Bruce Springsteen. Mushayamunda also has been on calls with Jennifer Lopez, actor James Michael Tyler (Gunther from “Friends”) and Brandon Flowers (lead singer and keyboardist for The Killers). “Mainly I’m in charge of recording the interviews,” Mushayamunda says. “It’s a lot of fun.” Because of the ongoing pandemic, Mushayamunda is working remotely. She was at first disappointed that she would be spending the summer in Winston-Salem instead of New York City. Once she got started, however, she appreciated the familiar surroundings. “Everyone wants to spend the summer in New York and get that experience,” she says. “But having it be here opened up a lot of opportunities for me and made it easier to do the work. After such a tumultuous year, it was nice to be able to come home and get the energy I need going into my senior year. This is the last summer I’ll be able to do that.” READ MORE An unexpected reunion Dr.
