A show for all the family, the sitcom follows 30- year-old Vinnie Bassett (Jerry Trainor, iCarly) a carefree bachelor, who suddenly becomes the legal guardian of his wise-beyond-his-years nephew Wendell (Buddy Handleson, Shake It Up) forming a hysterical odd-couple family dynamic. The multi-camera show is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning Jay Kogen (Frasier, Malcolm in the Middle) and Aaron Kaplan (The Simpsons). Nicole Sullivan (Rita Rocks, MadTV) also stars as Vinnie’s older unlucky-in-love sister Wilma and Haley Strode (Gangster Squad) as Vinnie’s newly-divorced neighbour and love interest Taryn. The series will air regularly on weeknights at 7:00pm. The pilot episode introduces Vinnie, proprietor of an online pop culture memorabilia store who only takes breaks to read comic books and play computer games. His bachelor life comes to a halt when he assumes guardianship of his incredibly intelligent and mature nephew, Wendell. They soon find that 12- year-old Wendell may be just the parent Vinnie needs. The episode sees Dan Castellanata (Homer Simpson, The Simpsons) make a guest appearance as Vinnie’s next door neighbour. This season will find lighthearted Vinnie helping socially awkward Wendell – and vice versa – including Vinnie navigating through Parents Teacher Association politics to help Wendell build a school garden, a sleepover that goes awry when Vinnie becomes the centre of attention and a deliberate detention to help Vinnie get closer to his nephew’s vice principal.

Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). https://ir.uiowa.edu/ijcs Mediasprawl: Springfield U.S.A. Douglas Rushkoff The Simpsons are the closest thing in America to a national media literacy program. By pretending to be a kids’ cartoon, the show gets away with murder: that is, the virtual murder of our most coercive media iconography and techniques. For what began as entertaining interstitial material for an alternative network variety show has revealed itself, in the twenty-first century, as nothing short of a media revolu­ tion. Maybe that’s the very reason The Simpsons works so well. The Simpsons were bom to provide The Tracey Ullman Show with a way of cutting to commercial breaks. Their very function as a form of media was to bridge the discontinuity inherent to broadcast television. They existed to pave over the breaks. But rather than dampening the effects of these gaps in the broadcast stream, they heightened them. They acknowledged the jagged edges and recombinant forms behind the glossy patina of American television and, by doing so, initiated its deconstruction. They exist in the outlying suburbs of the American media landscape: the hinter­ lands of the Fox network. And living as they do—simultaneously a part of yet separate from the mainstream, primetime fare—they are able to bear witness to our cultural formulations and then comment upon them.

  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

From Omaha to San Antonio and from Denver to Kearney, our state has left a memorable trail for us to reflect upon as the FBLA membership year begins to draw to a close. nebraskafbla.org Jency, our State Parliamentarian, never failed to make everyone on the @NebraskaFBLA team feel like a Star. She has been a true friend to each member of the Nebraska FBLA officer team, but still found a way to keep us all organized when we got off-track during a meeting. @nebraskafbla Our Reporter, Sadie, ensured that each officer was well-informed of upcoming deadlines and of course, how far we were from completing our terms. Her service as a State Officer and a National Council Member is admirable, to say the least . Connor, our Treasurer, could always be relied on for a quick morale boost. Whether it be his exuberant energy, expansive knowledge of NEBRASKA FBLA 2019-2020 random trivia, or bizarre obsession with dinner rolls, Connor certainly A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY set the pace for the rest of the officer team. Our State Secretary, Megan, is perhaps best known for her aptitude for sarcasm. Her passion for the March of Dimes, phenomenal work ethic, and questionable vernacular made Megan quite the triple threat as our Secretary. Thank you to Ethan, our State VP, for providing endless laughs with stories about his campaign booth antics.

  • Homer Economicus: Using the Simpsons to Teach Economics
    Homer Economicus: Using The Simpsons to Teach Economics Joshua Hall* West Virginia University Getting students to understand the economic way of thinking might be the most difficult aspect of a teaching economist=s job. The counterintuitive nature of economics often makes it difficult to get the average student to think Alike an economist.@ To this end, the need to keep students engaged and interested is essential when teaching economic principles and interdisciplinary approaches to engaging students are becoming increasingly common. For example, Leet and Houser (2003) build an entire principles class around classic films and documentaries while Watts (1999) discusses how literary passages can be used to teach a typical undergraduate course more effectively. I further extend this interdisciplinary approach to economic education by providing examples from the long-running animated television show The Simpsons that can be used to stimulate student discussion and engagement in an introductory course in microeconomics. Using The Simpsons in the classroom The bulk of this paper describes scenes from The Simpsons that illustrate basic economic concepts. While the examples are pretty straightforward, the difficulty in using The Simpsons lies in deciding: where to place the examples into the lecture and the best way to present the scene to the students. _____________________________ * The author gratefully acknowledges the financial support of The Buckeye Institute. One difficult feature of using any popular culture in the classroom, even a show that has been on the air for fifteen seasons and 300-plus episodes, is that students do not all have the same frame of reference, even in the most homogenous of classrooms.

    BAULKHAM HILLS SCRABBLE CLUB MONTHLY NEWsLETTER No 19 July/August 2017 PRESIDENT’S REPORT CELEBRATION ISSUE Lots of good things happening in the Club at the moment. July is a month notable for two significant National Days. First of all, four of our ladies have come up with the idea of The 4th, of course, is American Independence Day while a Book Swapping activity. Everyone is welcome to bring the 14th recalls the storming of the Bastille in France. books along that are of interest as several of our members (not surprisingly) are into reading. Thanks to new member Barbara as well as Genelle, Judy and Marion who came up with this great idea. Already there have been books rolling in and I would encourage everyone to be involved. Trivia question: what is the symbol of the connection between these two nations? Answer: the Statue of Liberty was given to the USA by France as a gift. So, because it’s the “birthdays” of two nations, it’s only a small jump to focus on the birthdays of some of the members of our club and link those birthdays to famous people or events. Coming up on Sunday 20th August is our annual tournament, held at the usual venue of the Baulkham Hills So, on with our birthdays! What do they reveal? Community Centre. If anyone could help out with providing food, taking entry fees, preparing nibblies during 17th March A Birthday Portrait by Robin the day or helping sell raffle tickets please see me in the next couple of weeks.
