Jay : That's My Wife Gloria 3x01 : Dude Ranch Mitchell : But he thought that Cam's version was a little too "artsy," so we've decided to take a few rugged shots at the ranch to, you know, balance it out. Captain : We're beginning our initial descent into Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Cameron : I don't think it need balancing out. Thank you for flying United. Mitchell : Really? Phil : Reckon we'll be landing soon. Cameron : It's called "Production value." Claire : Phil, honey, you promised... not till we got there.

Is that a firecracker? man. Luke : Shh! Now I just need to find the perfect thing to blow up. Manny : Is that thing even legal? Phil : It's just that when you say, "Phil is my son-in-law," it sounds like you're Luke : Not here. It's from Germany. If they had this during the war, right now saying, "Phyllis, my son-in-law." we'd all be knee-deep in strudel. Jay : That's ridiculous. Alex : Watch it! Phil :Okay, who's your son-in-law?

  • Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock
    Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Home (/gendersarchive1998-2013/) Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock May 1, 2012 • By Linda Mizejewski (/gendersarchive1998-2013/linda-mizejewski) [1] The title of Tina Fey's humorous 2011 memoir, Bossypants, suggests how closely Fey is identified with her Emmy-award winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006-), where she is the "boss"—the show's creator, star, head writer, and executive producer. Fey's reputation as a feminist—indeed, as Hollywood's Token Feminist, as some journalists have wryly pointed out—heavily inflects the character she plays, the "bossy" Liz Lemon, whose idealistic feminism is a mainstay of her characterization and of the show's comedy. Fey's comedy has always focused on gender, beginning with her work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where she became that show's first female head writer in 1999. A year later she moved from behind the scenes to appear in the "Weekend Update" sketches, attracting national attention as a gifted comic with a penchant for zeroing in on women's issues. Fey's connection to feminist politics escalated when she returned to SNL for guest appearances during the presidential campaign of 2008, first in a sketch protesting the sexist media treatment of Hillary Clinton, and more forcefully, in her stunning imitations of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, which launched Fey into national politics and prominence. [2] On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is the head writer of an NBC comedy much likeSNL, and she is identified as a "third wave feminist" on the pilot episode.

  • Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism by Rachael Horowitz Television, As a Cultural Expression, Is Uniqu
    Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism By Rachael Horowitz Television, as a cultural expression, is unique in that it enjoys relatively few boundaries in terms of who receives its messages. Few other art forms share television's ability to cross racial, class and cultural divisions. As an expression of social interactions and social change, social norms and social deviations, television's widespread impact on the true “general public” is unparalleled. For these reasons, the cultural power of television is undeniable. It stands as one of the few unifying experiences for Americans. John Fiske's Media Matters discusses the role of race and gender in US politics, and more specifically, how these issues are informed by the media. He writes, “Television often acts like a relay station: it rarely originates topics of public interest (though it may repress them); rather, what it does is give them high visibility, energize them, and direct or redirect their general orientation before relaying them out again into public circulation.” 1 This process occurred with the topic of feminism, and is exemplified by the most iconic females of recent television history. TV women inevitably represent a strain of diluted feminism. As with any serious subject matter packaged for mass consumption, certain shortcuts emerge that diminish and simplify the original message. In turn, what viewers do see is that much more significant. What the TV writers choose to show people undoubtedly has a significant impact on the understanding of American female identity. In Where the Girls Are , Susan Douglas emphasizes the effect popular culture has on American girls.

  • Sometimes I Wonder… If My Family Was a Tv Show… What Would Be the Ratings, and What Would People See?
    Homily | Year A | Holy Family | 12/29/2019 Sometimes I wonder… if my family was a tv show… what would be the ratings, and what would people see? Most of the most memorable TV shows I’ve watched have all revolve around family dynamics. As a child I remember watching The Wonder Years , Family Matters , Full house and Home Improvement . Then in the Early 200’s it was Malcolm in the Middle , Everybody Loves Raymond , and most recently Parenthood , Modern Family and The Middle . Now, all these TV shows showcased very different families; different cultural backgrounds, different economic status, even different values than those of my own family experiences growing up as a Mexican-American; yet, somehow, they were all relatable. The same can be said about the many families we encounter in scripture; from the Old Testament families of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Lot, and Jacob… to the New Testament family stories like that of the prodigal son, Martha and Mary, Zachariah and Elizabeth, and the Holy Family… these are all families very different form our own, yet they are somehow still relatable. That is because family values, although they might be lived differently generation to generation, culture to culture, family to family; they all emerge from universal values that all people can relate to. These values are mutuality, respect, and service, and we encounter them in scripture today. We see these universal values in Old Testament Wisdom through the example of parent-child relationship. In the Jewish tradition, parents had a God- pg. 1 Homily | Year A | Holy Family | 12/29/2019 given responsibility over their children and vice versa, children once adults had a God-given responsibility over their parents, especially when the caretaker role was reversed… First parents had the responsibility to care, feed, clothe, and bathe their children… but there would come a time when the parent would grow old and frail and this responsibility would flip… the adult child would now have the responsibility to care, feed, clothe and bathe the aged parent.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

Additionally, I’d like to thank my parents and my friends for putting up with my incessant mentioning of how much work I always had to do when writing this thesis. Their patience and understanding was tremendous and helped motivate me to continue on at times when I felt uninspired. And lastly, I’d like to thank my brother for always calling me back whenever I needed help eloquently naming all the concepts and patterns that I could only describe in my head. Having a trusted ally to bounce ideas off and to help better express my observations was invaluable. Thanks, bro! v Abstract This research analyzes the implicit and explicit messages viewers receive about the LGBT community in primetime sitcoms.

  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.
