    ©2013 Tal Zalmanovich ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SHARING A LAUGH: SITCOMS AND THE PRODUCTION OF POST-IMPERIAL BRITAIN, 1945-1980 by TAL ZALMANOVICH A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Prof. Bonnie Smith And Approved by ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Sharing a Laugh: Sitcoms and the Production of Post-Imperial Britain, 1945-1980 By Tal Zalmanovich Dissertation Director: Bonnie Smith Sharing a Laugh examines the social and cultural roles of television situation comedy in Britain between 1945 and 1980. It argues that an exploration of sitcoms reveals the mindset of postwar Britons and highlights how television developed both as an industry and as a public institution. This research demonstrates how Britain metamorphosed in this period from a welfare state with an implicit promise to establish a meritocratic and expert-based society, into a multiracial, consumer society ruled by the market. It illustrates how this turnabout of British society was formulated, debated, and shaped in British sitcoms. This dissertation argues that both democratization (resulting from the expansion of the franchise after World War I) and decolonization in the post-World War II era, established culture as a prominent political space in which interaction and interconnection between state and society took place. Therefore, this work focuses on culture and on previously less noticed parties to the negotiation over power in society such as, media institutions, media practitioners, and their audiences.

It was more common in the 1930s to the 1960s when gays had more need of a private slang.
