  • Dexter – James Manos Jr
    Educación sentimental-televisiva La casualidad ha querido que encontrara el tiempo para escribir estas líneas pasando las vacaciones en una casa de campo del con- dado de Yorkshire, en el norte de Inglaterra, a escasas cinco millas del castillo de Howard. Esta mansión vecina se hizo popular en el siglo XX por alojar parte de la filmación de una película ilustre, Barry Lyndon, de Stanley Kubrick, y de una serie no menos distinguida: Retorno a Brideshead, la adaptación de Granada Television del libro homónimo de Evelyn Waugh que lanzó al estrellato a un joven Je- remy Irons. No es que hubiera escogido este destino vacacional en base a la proximidad de esta country house tricentenaria de la que guardo tan hondo recuerdo televisivo. Pero mentiría si dijera que no me alegré al conocer que la iba a tener tan a mano. De la misma manera que me complacería ir de vacaciones al estado de Washington, en Esta- dos Unidos, sabiendo que Snoqualmie y North Bend, los dos pue- blos en los que se rodaron los exteriores de Twin Peaks, están cerca, o viajaría a Gales con la ilusión de poder visitar en algún momento Portmeirion, la muy peculiar villa costera en la que se grabó El pri- sionero. Son todos ellos lugares que, gracias a las ficciones televisivas que durante un tiempo albergaron, dejaron algo dentro de mí; o quizá dejé yo algo dentro de ellos y ahora me gustaría saber de qué se trata. No sé. Tanto Twin Peaks como El prisionero aparecen seleccionadas por Quim Casas en la lista de 75 series que conforma este libro.

The list was determined through online voting by WGAW and WGAE members. A follow-up to the WGA’s 101 Greatest Screenplays (2006), the “TV 101” list honors classic, trailblazing series and miniseries, as well as current and critically acclaimed programs, from comedies and dramas to variety/talk and children’s programming. “At their core, all of these wonderful series began with the words of the writers who created them and were sustained by the writers who joined their staffs or worked on individual episodes,” said WGAW President Chris Keyser and WGAE President Michael Winship in a joint statement. “This list is not only a tribute to great TV, it is a dedication to all writers who devote their hearts and minds to advancing their craft.” -more- WGAW-WGAE Release: 101 Best Written TV Series Announced – Page 2 of 8 Rank Series Title Network Writer(s)* 1 The Sopranos HBO Created by David Chase 2 Seinfeld NBC Created by Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld The Twilight Zone Season One writers: Charles Beaumont, Richard 3 CBS (1959) Matheson, Robert Presnell, Jr., Rod Serling Developed for Television by Norman Lear, Based on Till 4 All in the Family CBS Death Do Us Part, Created by Johnny Speight 5 M*A*S*H CBS Developed for Television by Larry Gelbart The Mary Tyler 6 CBS Created by James L.

  • The Coalition Does Not Believe That the FISR Must Be Preserved in Perpetuity. Future Changes in the Television Marketplace May W
    The Coalition does not believe that the FISR must be preserved in perpetuity. Future changes in the television marketplace may well warrant relaxation of the Rule, and, ultimately, its repeal. That day, however, has not arrived. While the Coalition therefore supports Commission review of the Rule, undertaking a review of the FISR every two years has simply resulted in higher costs for the industry, both in terms of business uncertainty and transaction costs, as parties attempt to adapt to a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Moreover, marketplace changes of the magnitude that would render the FISR unnecessary are unlikely to occur in a two-year period. Consequently, the Coalition urges the Commission to commit to review the Rule again in 1999. There is nothing to be lost, but much to be gained, from permitting the Commission this additional time to review the consequences of its deregulatory actions. On the one hand, a number of the trends discussed above -- e.g., the increase in in-house production, the reduction in production by small producers -- are continuing ones. It is impossible to determine, at this early stage, when the marketplace will reach some new equilibrium, or what that equilibrium will look like. In addition, once the marketplace has fully adjusted to the new regulatory regime, it will take some time to measure and evaluate the public interest consequences of the changes that have taken place. On the other hand, under a strengthened FISR, the networks will continue to be able to acquire financial interests in programs, subject to the separate negotiation safeguard. This will permit the marketplace to realize any efficiencies associated with network participation in program financing.
