    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.

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.

    71 YEARS OF EMMY® ​ ​ 1948 The Emmy Awards are conceived. The Television Academy’s founding fathers struggle to name the award: Television Academy founder Syd Cassyd suggests “Ike,” the nickname for the ​ ​ television iconoscope tube. Pioneer television engineer and future (1949) Academy president Harry Lubcke suggests “Immy,” a nickname for the image-orthicon camera tube instrumental in the technical development of television. “Immy” is feminized as “Emmy” because the statuette, designed by engineer Louis McManus (who enlisted his wife Dorothy to model for it) depicts the winged “muse of art uplifting the electron of science.” 1949 First Emmy Awards – given to Los Angeles area programming – take place at the Hollywood Athletic Club on January 25. Tickets are $5.00. It is broadcast on local station KTSL. There are less than a million television sets in the U.S. The master of ceremonies was popular TV host Walter O’Keefe. ​ Six awards are given: ● Most Outstanding Television Personality: Twenty-year-old Shirley Dinsdale and her ​ ​ ​ puppet sidekick Judy Splinters for “The Judy Splinters Show.” ● The Station Award for Outstanding Overall Achievement: KTLA (the first commercial ​ ​ ​ television station west of the Mississippi River). ● Technical Award: Engineer Charles Mesak of Don Lee Television for the introduction ​ ​ ​ of TV camera technology. ● The Best Film Made for Television: “The Necklace” (a half hour adaptation of Guy de ​ Maupassant's classic short story). ● Most Popular Television Program: “Pantomime Quiz.” ​ ​ ​ ● A special Emmy is presented to Louis McManus for designing the statuette. ​ ​ 1950 Second Emmy Awards (January 27, Ambassador Hotel) ​ ● KFI-TV broadcasts, the six other Los Angeles area stations share expense of the telecast.
