Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

  • Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Martha and the Vandellas Erudite music critic Dave Marsh has called it, “As pure a product of its day as anything Dylan or the Beatles ever imagined.” The song is “Dancing in the Street,” written by William Stevenson, Marvin Gaye, and Ivy Jo Hunter and recorded by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964. Since its release in July of ’64 (it would reach #2 on the Billboard pop chart by September), the song has gone on to become one of Gordy/Motown and pop music’s most definitive works and a powerful anthem, sometimes in spite of itself. The Martha of Martha and the Vandellas is Martha Reeves. She was born in Alabama in 1941 and raised in Detroit. She began singing with her friends Annette Beard and Rosalind Ashford, as the Del-Phi’s, while still in high school. They cut their first records in 1960. But stardom was not, at that time, in the cards. Not long after, however, and after Reeves briefly pursed a solo career, Reeves became the secretary to Mickey Stevenson, an exec at Detroit’s renowned Motown Records. Legend has it that, one day, label founder Berry Gordy, Jr. needed some backup singers for a session then in progress. Knowing of Reeves’ recording ambitions, he called her and her friends, Beard and Ashford, into the studio. The trio of ladies would end up singing back-up on two Marvin Gaye records, “Stubborn Kind of Fellow” and “Hitch Hike.” Under the moniker Martha and the Vandellas (a hybrid of Detroit’s Van Dyke Street and singer Della Reese’s first name), the revived group also quickly recorded their own single, “I’ll Have to Let Him Go.” Liking the end results, Gordy signed the group to their own contract in September 1962.
