big stars migrated to TV; would take radio nearly 30 years to recover 2.Radio returned to serving specialized audiences: formats, local programming, DJs, recorded music 3.Radio became close with the record industry; helped to sell records 4.Radio was forced to become dependent on local revenue, redefining its revenue base TV in the 1950s • Early TV industry was modeled after radio; local stations served their communities, and might be affiliated with networks • 4 TV networks during this period: NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont • Golden Age of Television • Popular shows: I Love Lucy, The Today Show, 21, Gunsmoke Example: I love Lucy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPzLBSBzPI Technology • Slow, but steady growth of cable (10% of homes in 1974) • UHF got a boost from cable systems • Satellites become more important to TV The beginnings of Cable • Introduced in the early 1950s • Solved a problem: people who lived in mountainous areas couldn’t receive traditional, over-the-air, TV signals • They put an antennae on top of a tall peak, and ran a wire to homes in the valley • This was called Community Antenna TV (CATV) 1963-1975 • By the end of the 1950's, 95% of American households had a TV • Public Broadcasting Act of 1967: established the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) • After debate on the effects of cigarette smoking, in 1971 cigarette ads were prohibited on TV • PTAR: Prime Time Access Rule was meant to encourage local programming (1970);

    The Simpsons: A Case Study in the Limitations of Television as a Medium for Presenting Political and Social Satire [image removed to comply with copyright] Michael E. Gordon Senior History Thesis First Reader: Professor Bethel Saler Second Reader: Dean Gregory Kannerstein April 19, 2004 1 Acknowledgments I would like to take this time to thank Professor Bethel Saler for giving me this opportunity to research and analyze a subject matter that I care for deeply. Your guidance and structure has pushed me to produce something that has made me extremely proud. Also, the “Academic Heavyweights” in Jones 24: Robert Schiff ’04, Jonathan Debrich ’05, Manny Ferreira ’05, and Gray Vargas-Regan ’05 for living with me for an entire year—this speaks volumes for all of you! For my favorite redhead, Rachel Moston ’04 for always giving me her time to brainstorm and vent at this agonizing and yet rewarding process. I am extremely grateful to Professor Alexander Kitroeff, Professor James Krippner, Professor Bill Hohenstein, and Professor Dan Gillis for supporting me throughout my matriculation and helping me grow as an individual and as a scholar. The camaraderie and friendship I have received from the Haverford College Baseball team is something that I will take with me for the rest of my life and I would like to take this time to thank Dave Beccaria, Kevin Morgan, Ed Molush—and Dan Crowley ’91 for taking a chance on a kid who just loves to play the game of baseball. To my cousin, Scott Weinstein, who through his kindness has given me the opportunity to work in television.

    ABSTRACT “Our Real Family, The One We Chose”: The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family Max Romanowski, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: James M. Kendrick, Ph.D. Throughout history, the situation comedy (or “sitcom”) has continually been used as a form of comfort for the viewer. The original sitcoms of the 1950s were filled with themes that reinforced the stability of the traditional family model after the cultural shifts during the world wars. While that style of sitcom and its family has changed, its function to viewers has largely remained the same. While it no longer is about reinforcing a traditional family structure, the sitcom does work to comfort the viewers that are watching. This study works to examine how and why the sitcom family has evolved, what the new sitcom family looks like today, and what that means for societal values. The sitcoms Friends (1994), The Office (2005), Parks and Recreation (2009), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013), and Community (2009) will be used as case studies to understand the new dominant type of sitcom family: The constructed family. iv "Our Real Family, The One We Chose": The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family by Max Romanowski, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of Communication David W. Schlueter, Ph.D., Chairperson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Baylor University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Approved by the Thesis Committee James M.

  • Symphonies and Sitcoms: Rethinking Genre History with Mozart in Mind
    Symphonies and Sitcoms: Rethinking Genre History with Mozart in Mind MARY SUE MORROW During the spring quarter of the past year, I taught a graduate-level course on Joseph Haydn’s symphonies. As one of the class activities, I asked each student to listen to a small group of the symphonies and report their impressions to the rest of the class. On more than one occasion a student would confess apologetically that, although there was nothing unusual about any of the symphony’s forms, she really liked it; or someone would comment sheepishly that one of his assigned works was rather conventional and predictable, but nonetheless so beautiful. I also related my own experience with Haydn’s many variation slow movements. As part of my preparation for the class, I had listened to all the symphonies with score (one of my most enjoyable summer projects), and if I ever found my attention wandering, it was in those slow movements: After the first variation or so (especially if the conductor took all the repeats), I would start fidgeting mentally, ever so slightly bored with the continual cadences and predictable harmonic patterns. But when I listened to those same symphonies in the same performances without the score, I found myself drawn in by the sheer sensual joy of hearing them unfold, continually seduced both by their subtly varying coloration and their predictability. These reactions provided fodder for stimulating class discussions, and caused us to ponder not only the way we listen to music but also what we expect intellectually, aesthetically, and emotionally from a symphony.

  • The Reluctant Stowaway”
    10 Episode 1: “The Reluctant Stowaway” Written by ShimonCUSHMAN Wincelberg (as S.Bar-David) (Script polishing by Anthony Wilson) Directed by Anton M. Leader (as Tony Leader) Produced by Buck Houghton (uncredited), with Jerry Briskin; Executive Producer: Irwin Allen Plot outline from Lost in Space show files (Irwin Allen Papers Collection): In 1997, from the now desperately overcrowded Earth, the Robinson family and their pilot set off in the Jupiter 2 spaceship, as pioneers to colonize a distant planet circling Alpha Centauri. At blast-off, Smith, agent of an enemy power, who has programmed the Jupiter 2’s Robot to destroy the ship, is trapped aboard. The Robot is de-activated before completely carrying out his orders, but the ship is damaged and now far off-course, lost in another galaxy. Robinson is outside trying to mend the damaged scanner when his tether breaks, leaving him floating helplessly in space. MARC 249 (Episode numbering and the order in which they are presented in this book are by air date. For Seasons One and Two it is also the order in which the episodes were produced. Lost in Space was unique in that it is one of the few filmed primetime series which – until the third season – aired its episodes in the order they were produced. This was done because each episode during the first two seasons was linked to the one which followed by means of the cliffhanger, and each cliffhanger had to be factored in to the overall running time of the episode.) From the Script: (Rev. Shooting Final draft teleplay, July 22, 1965 draft) – Smith: “Aeolis 14 Umbra, come in please.

    Crossover Grid Key (organized by quadrant) 1. In the center: St Elsewhere's Dr Turner was investigated for murder by Homicide's Pembleton and Bayliss. And St Elsewhere's entire run was just a dream inside autistic Timmy Westphall's head. This means every show listed below is a figment. And Newhart (and the shows that crossed over with it) are a figment twice over. (See: Bottom right quadrant) 2. Top left: St Elsewhere's Westphall, Craig and Auschlander visited Cheers' bar A. Cheers' Norm, Cliff, and Drs. Crane visited Wings' airport. i. Cheers spun-off The Tortellis with Carla. ii. And going back to Cheers it also spun-off Fraiser. (1) John Larroquette Show's John Hemingway called into Fraiser's show. (a) John Larroquette Show referenced Yoyodyne. Yoyodyne was also a client of Angel’s Wolfram & Hart. (i) Angel was a spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (for more on Buffy see item 4.A.) (ii) Weyland-Utani is also a client of Angel’s Wolfram & Hart. Weyland-Utani made some of the weapons used by Firefly’s Malcolm Reynolds in the Battle of Serenity. 1. A Firefly class ship, from and unique to the Firefly universe is visible in a scene in Battlestar Galactica (2003). (Although Battlestar Galactica is a reworking of an older series (Battlestar Galactica (1978)) it is a complete reboot and there is no shared internal continuity between the two shows and therefore Battlestar Galactica (1978) is not included on the grid.) (iii)In the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens", the crew of the Red Dwarf come across a space ship graveyard which includes a Weyland-Utani ship (connecting it with Angel, and a Eagle ship from the TV series Space: 1999.
