  • CMS.603 / CMS.995 American Soap Operas Spring 2008
    MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu CMS.603 / CMS.995 American Soap Operas Spring 2008 For information about citing these materials or our Terms of Use, visit: http://ocw.mit.edu/terms. Jenn D’Ascoli CMS.603 Term paper Neighbours – Good Friends and Good Success In the 20 years leading up to 1995, soaps operas were “the dominant form of drama on Australia television screens” (Moran, 344) While that trend has since shifted to serial dramas, there are still two Australian soap operas popular enough to remain on the air. Neighbours,the longest running Australian drama ever produced, is a “nightly soap opera exploring the various domestic dramas of the families in a group of homes in an average suburb” (Moran, 270). Originally concentrating on everyday life without a lot of added melodrama, Neighbours developed over the years to include such dramatic storylines as bombings and lesbian kisses. Faced with declining ratings, Neighbours was refocused in March 2007, moving away from the sensational and back to the simple storylines about family that it began with (Kilkelly). In this paper, I examine the current production of Neighbours using the characteristics of the show that made it an initial success, both in Australia and in the UK, and offer a contrasting analysis of the popular, long-running American soap opera, As the World Turns (ATWT), to provide insight into some of the major differences between successful Australian and American soap operas. An examination of several key facets that lay the foundation for Neighbours' success, and their manifestation (or lack thereof) in the current series of Neighbours and As the World Turns, demonstrates one of the reasons behind the failure of Neighbours in the US market.

I draw upon examples from the group and from a series of interviews1 with its members to argue that the paratextual ‘play’ these fans partake in replicates the notion of Australian soap Neighbours (1985-present) as being a programme whose pleasures come through a combination of affection and having ‘much to laugh at’ (Wober and Fazal 1994, 85) - indeed, the show itself encourages a playful approach to its narratives. Neighbours has a history of attracting a following who often enjoy the programme partly because they feel able to 'laugh at' it - often including teenagers, students and young adults – or those who first came to watch the show in their youth and have continued to watch (see: Wober and Fazal 1994: 85; Gillespie 1995; Williams 2010).

The producers wanted a street that featured houses was typical of the ‘80s era when the series launched – brick veneer homes in cul-de-sac were all the rage. • Neighbours has filmed outside of Melbourne on five occasions – twice in London and Sydney and once in Port Douglas, Queensland.

  • Popular Culture Popular Culture Includes a Wide Range of Activities That a Large Number of People in a Society Engage In
    [ only] Unit 3 The globalising world (1945–the present) Popular culture Popular culture includes a wide range of activities that a large number of people in a society engage in. Since World War II, Australia has developed strong industries in four key areas of popular culture: music, film, television and sport. Television and rock’n’roll music both arrived in 1956 and have had a strong influence on all groups within Australian society – this continues today. Sport has retained an important role in Australian life and has become closely tied to our sense of identity. The Australian film industry has also emerged to tell uniquely Australian stories that entertain and inform. While British, American and, more recently, European and Asian cultures have influenced us, Australia has developed its own distinct culture. Music, film, television and sport have not only become ways of reflecting who we are, but have also enabled Australia to engage with the rest of the world. chapter Source 1 ‘Hello possums’ – one of Australia’s many contributions to international popular13 culture is Barrie Humphries as Dame Edna Everage. 13A 13B 13C How did developments in How have the music, filmDRAFT and What contributions has popular culture influence Australia television industries in Australia Australia made to international Insert obook assess logo: after World War II? changed since World War II? popular culture?
