Richard Butsch Rider University, Lawrenceville A HALF CENTURY OF CLASS AND GENDER in American TV Domestic Sitcoms Over a half-century of television, domestic situation comedies have reinforced images of the middle class as better than the working class. Similar inequalities have been portrayed for men versus women, black versus white, old versus young, and for other status hierarchies. Already embedded in the larger culture, these stereotypes are used to signify character types that advance dramatic goals. Nevertheless, the pervasiveness of network tele- vision and the persistence over five decades have contributed immeasurably to reproducing these same stereotypes. Women, for example, have been cast as main characters only where the subjects of romance or family are salient; they have been absent from rational discussions in scripts [Gerbner, 1972]. Women’s presence thus signals certain themes. Similarly, traits culturally associated with a lower status, applied to a person of higher status devalues that person. Men are devalued by characte- rizing them as feminine. Such status inversion can then effectively confirm other lower statuses held by the person. Female, black and lower-class adults have been devalued by characterizing them as child-like. Child-like attribu- tions undercut their adult status, confirming their lower status as female, black or lower-class. -

Sitcom Citizenship: Civic Participation within Postwar Suburban Sitcoms, 1952-1972 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Cheyne IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette May 2014 © Michael Cheyne 2014 i Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of my advisers at the University of Minnesota, Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette, as well as the other members of my thesis committee, Tracey Deutsch and Elaine Tyler May. Through the years of researching and writing, they gave me feedback, guidance, and above all, encouragement. In particular, I thank Kevin, who, as my initial graduate adviser, helped shepherd me through life as a doctoral candidate. I also acknowledge the very helpful feedback provided by my peers in the dissertation writing group led by Kevin Murphy and Regina Kunzel during the 2011- 2013 academic years. Their varied suggestions, praise, and criticism were especially helpful during the formative years of turning years of research into a workable thesis. My fellow graduate students within the American Studies program were unfailing in their personal and professional support. My colleagues at the University of Minnesota-Morris, particularly within the history discipline, were extremely supportive to me during my final two years working on this project. They provided time and funding to assist my research and the presentation of my work. I am particularly thankful for their cheerful willingness to support a colleague during a year of teaching and writing. Finally, I thank my family, friends, and church family, who provided years of love and support while I finished this project. -

The Early Years to the Present : Fathers, Mothers, and Chil- dren—Shifting Focus and Authority », Cercles 8 (2003) : 114-121 <www.cercles.com>. ©Cercles 2003. Toute repro- duction, même partielle, par quelque procédé que ce soit, est interdite sans autorisation préalable (loi du 11 mars 1957, al. 1 de l’art. 40). ISSN : 1292-8968. Valerie A. Reimers Southwestern Oklahoma State University AMERICAN FAMILY TV SITCOMS THE EARLY YEARS TO THE PRESENT Fathers, Mothers, and Children—Shifting Focus and Authority In approaching domestic sitcoms, we might usefully employ the chiasmus raised by Clifford Geertz in his essay, “Culture, Mind, Brain/Brain, Mind, Culture” wherein he presents the double consideration of “the mental nature of culture, the cultural nature of mind” [204]. Applying this mirror image viewpoint to television, we may consider the degree of cultural influence upon television and conversely, the influence of television in shaping culture. The shifting roles of family members within American society and the ways in which those roles are depicted on television provides one area for exploring this concept. In first thoughts on this topic, we might ponder the father figure of the 1950s and 1960s as the somewhat stern and almost infallible Ward Cleaver, flanked by the somewhat gentler demeanors of Jim Anderson of Father Knows Best or Andy Griffith of The Andy Griffith Show, but father figures no less force- ful in their assurance about the right way to handle the events faced by their families. The fathers’ roles in Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best give fa- thers the primary voice in the household. -

ABC Television acquired the studio property in 1949, and opened the world's largest, state-of-the-art television center. "The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted building." - Jerry S. "I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P. 1 The Prospect Studios (ABC Television Center West) (Google Maps Street View) aerial view of The Prospect Studios (ABC Television Center West) (Bing Maps) 2 California Studios (name circa 1960) Formerly: Clune Studios Currently: Raleigh Studios Hollywood Location: 5300 Melrose Avenue Hollywood, CA a home to independent filmed television production in the early years of television, including productions by Gross-Krasne and Ziv-TV in the 1950's studio dates to 1915 (as Famous Players Fiction Film Company) known as Clune Studios in 1920's later named California Studios, then Producers Studios, Inc. -
