State of Rhode Island 2002 -- S 3076 ======= LC03379 ======= STATE OF RHODE ISLAND IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY JANUARY SESSION, A.D. 2002 ____________ S E N A T E R E S O L U T I O N WELCOMING THE LEGENDARY CAROL BURNETT TO THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND Introduced By: Senators Irons, Goodwin, and P Fogarty Date Introduced: May 31, 2002 Referred To: Senate read and passed 1 WHEREAS, Long considered a true living legend in entertainment, not only in America, 2 but throughout the world, Carol Burnett has given each and every one of us here, moments of 3 pause, moments of joy and hours of laughter; and 4 WHEREAS, Spending most of her childhood in a less than glamorous section of 5 Hollywood, Miss Burnett attended UCLA before heading to New York. Early on, with jobs 6 tough to find, the innovative Carol Burnett staged her own musical review, featuring her out-of- 7 work roommates and unemployed writers and composers. Soon, offers for summer stock and 13 8 weeks' work on Paul Winchell's TV show followed. Shortly after, she was spotted by talent 9 bookers from both "The Jack Paar Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show". The now legendary 10 rendition of "I Made A Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" was the beginning of America's 11 relationship with Carol Burnett. Audiences were in love with the laughter, in love with Carol 12 Burnett; and 13 WHEREAS, As the years passed, Carol Burnett juggled both Broadway and television. 14 In 1967, Carol returned to Los Angeles to begin what would deservedly become the longest- 15 running musical comedy variety show in television history, America's favorite, "The Carol 16 Burnett Show"; and 17 WHEREAS, Throughout her career and even during "The Carol Burnett Show", Miss 18 Burnett found the time to headline in Las Vegas, and star in numerous stage, film and television 19 productions with the likes of Dick Van Dyke, Rock Hudson, Tony Bennett, Walter Matthau, Jack 1 Lemmon, Julie Andrews, Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, Elizabeth Taylor, Charlton Heston, 2 Cliff Robertson, and so many more people that have shaped the entertainment industry in our 3 country; and 4 WHEREAS, Her loving memoir, One More Time, began as a letter to her daughters, a 5 record of Carol's life and family history. This work was critically acclaimed, and reached the 6 non-fiction best sellers list in 1986; and 7 WHEREAS, Carol Burnett's accomplishments have been recognized with numerous 8 awards, including 6 Emmy Awards, 5 Golden Globes, the Peabody Award, the Ace Award, more 9 People's Choice Awards than any other woman in history, a Best Actor Tony Award, and a 10 Christopher Award to name a few. In recognition of the vast body of television accomplishments 11 that Miss Burnett was responsible for, The National Association of Broadcasters inducted her into 12 their prestigious Hall of Fame; and 13 WHEREAS, Carol Burnett's social and charitable endeavors are endless, including 14 scholarships to UCLA, the University of Hawaii, Emerson College and The College of Santa Fe. 15 She serves on the board of trustees at UCLA where she has established "The Carol Burnett 16 Musical Theater Competition"; and 17 WHEREAS, Carol Burnett's last special, "The Carol Burnett Show: Show Stoppers" with 18 Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Tim Conway, aired last November, attracted nearly 30 19 million viewers, giving CBS its most watched non-sports program in that time period since 1991; 20 and 21 WHEREAS, Carol Burnett is an especially remarkable human being whose warmth and 22 talent have lifted spirits, lightened loads, and just made life a little easier, and for this, we thank 23 her; now, therefore be it 24 RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 25 hereby welcomes the unforgettable Carol Burnett to the Rhode Island State Senate and extends 26 our heartfelt best wishes for her good health, continued success and much happiness; and be it 27 further 28 RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and he is hereby authorized and directed to 29 transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Miss Carol Burnett. ======= LC03379 ======= 2 .

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

DYNAMICS OF A PERIPHERY TV INDUSTRY: BIRTH AND EVOLUTION OF KOREAN REALITY SHOW FORMATS by SOOKEUNG JUNG Under the Direction of Ethan Tussey and Sharon Shahaf, PhD ABSTRACT Television format, a tradable program package, has allowed Korean television the new opportunity to be recognized globally.

  • 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.
