From the surprised Americans caught in their most em- barrassing moments by Allen Funt’s Candid Camera in 1948, to the down- to-earth Loud family of An American Family in 1973, to the rat-eating com- petitors of Survivor in 2002, reality, or unscripted, TV has amused, surprised, and mortified millions of viewers through the years. The changes in pro- gram content reflect the changing times: What viewers want to know about the participants as well as what participants allow to be known about them has increased over the years. For example, post–World War II Americans—new to the nightly en- tertainment that network television could provide—found the vulnerabil- ity of Candid Camera participants caught in just a few minutes of embar- rassing film to be sufficiently amusing. Different situations with different participants, often in different cities, were aired each week—the audience had no way of knowing what would be shown or who would be on the show. Participants stumbled into embarrassing situations rigged by pro- ducers; for example, an unwitting victim might struggle to get a faulty gas pump working, all while the cameras are rolling. Candid Camera was good- natured humor, because as Funt said, “[it] caught people in the act of be- ing themselves.” While participants might be momentarily embarrassed, their privacy and dignity were protected and no one was hurt. Candid Camera competed with half-hour sitcoms and variety programs reminis- cent of old vaudeville shows. The country was just getting used to televi- sion, and Americans wanted the entertainment that came into their homes to be pleasant, uncomplicated, and not at all controversial. The relative quiet of the 1950s, with its emphasis on shared conser- vative values and the sense of moral superiority that came with making the world safe for democracy, came to an abrupt halt when the decade ended. The sexual revolution, the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, feminism, and drug use were the hallmarks of the 1960s. It was a time of protest against just about everything. Baby boomers, the first generation born after World War II, were just coming of age, and their “tell it like it is” mantra encouraged people to hold nothing back— to debunk old myths and find new truths—in an effort to redefine Amer- ican culture. As Americans became more sexually open and violent in their behavior, television programs became more sexually explicit and vi- olent as well. By the end of the sixties, openness replaced modesty as a virtue, and independence was more important than privacy. By the early 1970s viewers who were used to watching Vietnam War footage on the six o’clock news as they ate dinner were ready for more from television—more reality, more invasiveness. An American Family, filmed in 1973 by noncommercial public television (PBS), brought TV 9 AI Reality TV INT 10/7/03 11:47 AM Page 10 10 At Issue cameras into the home of Bill and Pat Loud and their family and watched them for seven months as they went about their daily lives. Ten million viewers saw their marriage breakup and heard their son Lance announce for the first time that he was gay. Viewers were willing to accept (some even hoped) that they might be surprised or appalled by what they heard or saw—in part, that was why they were watching. Reality TV let the viewers get to know and identify with the Louds on a long-term basis. Moreover, the Louds had agreed to be filmed, indicating a willingness to be exposed in ways that participants of Candid Camera could not have imagined. An American Family—unscripted, unrehearsed reality TV—was broadcast as a documentary by a nonprofit network. When the Louds al- lowed An American Family Revisited to document their lives ten years later, it was broadcast on a cable network with millions in paid advertising at stake, and the new show garnered an even larger audience than the orig- inal American Family. “An American Family is widely recognized as the mother of all reality TV shows,” claims Jeffery Rouff, a media scholar at Dartmouth University and author of An American Family: A Televised Life, a book about the show. By the time a major network developed and pro- duced the Survivor series nearly thirty years later, reality TV shows were on almost every channel. During the first years of the twenty-first century, viewers by the mil- lions were tuning in to watch participants argue, struggle, eat bugs and rats, and reveal the most intimate details of their lives. Reality TV had changed again—this time into a contest where participants competed against each other to win love or money. Competitiveness and material- ism were the watchwords of this newest incarnation of reality TV. It re- flected, in part, the increased competitiveness in American society. As the new millennium began, it appeared that there was less of everything to go around—fewer good jobs, fewer affordable homes, and, especially, less lasting love. Against this backdrop, the struggles of contestants on reality TV shows to get the girl or win the money made perfect sense. Survivor participants secluded on an island were willing to do, say, or eat just about anything to win the one million dollar prize.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia 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 May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • Letter to School Officials
    Dear School Officials, Grassroot Soccer is fighting to save the lives of children in Africa, and we need the help of your students and community! Grassroot Soccer (GRS) is an international nonprofit (Federal Tax I.D. # 43-1957920) that uses the power of soccer to prevent the spread of AIDS and save lives among those with the highest rates of new infections—youth in Africa. GRS mobilizes the most vulnerable population of youth, ages 12 – 19, to break the cycle of AIDS by engaging local coaches who equip young people with the knowledge, skills and support they need to avoid HIV. Grassroot Soccer’s founders – Ethan Zohn (Winner, Survivor: Africa), Methembe Ndlovu (former Captain, Zimbabwe National Team), Kirk Friedrich and I, Dr. Tommy Clark – all have strong ties to Africa forged while playing professional soccer together in Zimbabwe. We all had close friends infected with HIV, and many others who died of AIDS. But we also understood how dominant soccer was in the culture. This inspired us to empower the most influential community role models, our soccer teammates, to teach children about HIV transmission and prevention and developing healthy life skills. In 2006, high school and college students began organizing Grassroot Soccer 3v3 Tournaments to benefit our organization. This became an incredible awareness and fundraising platform that has raised more than $350,000 for GRS. It has also given students the opportunity to learn more about the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and has empowered them to get personally involved. Please visit www.grassrootsoccer.org/host-a-tournament to learn more about these tournaments and our fight to eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa through soccer.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.
