  • Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller
    Reviewed by Ken Feil Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller. Duke University Press. 2019. 232 pages. $99.95 hardcover; $25.95 paper; also available in e-book. In Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History, Quinlan Miller presents a revelatory historical reassessment of the US network sitcom of the 1950s and 1960s in addition to rethinking camp, an ironic performance and reception sensibility usually associated with white, gay male culture. Arguing that non- binary gender is a constitutive element of both camp and situation comedy formulas, Miller disputes the assumptions of both television history and camp studies with meticulous research spanning institutional procedures, social- historical context, and textual features. The subject of camp remains marginal in television studies, as W. D. Phillips and Isabel Pinedo recently observed, despite holding a pivotal position in television history.1 Genealogies of cult TV, furthermore, have rendered camp either invisible or hovering in the fringes.2 Miller confirms the centrality of camp to television aesthetics at the same time as they challenge the typical historical narrative of camp TV, which begins in the 1960s with the iconic network series Batman (ABC, 1966– 1968) and the burgeoning mainstream currency of “camp” sensibility generated by 1 W.

  • Connecting Content with Consumers Volume 7 Issue 13
    The Fast est Growing DVD, CD and Blu- ray Ret ail Cat alog Connecting Content with Consumers Volume 7 Issue 13 Exciting news for Studios & for our partner retailers this week, as DVD and Blu-ray sales of titles in the AV Collection continue to march strongly into the summer months. Driving this surge is the growing breadth of new to video titles Allied Vaughn is making available to retailers to compete for consumer collecting dollars. This title expansion is fueled by Allied Vaughn's MOD distribution platform,which effectively supports content owners with a low resource strategy to continue to offer a broad catalog of physical titles without regard to sales velocity. On the tide of a strong media push, Gunpowder & Sky's "The Little Hours" has garnered a lot of attention and presale opportunity for all our partner retailers and an option for new retailers to consider. For Sci-Fi sites, "Displacement" from All Channel Films and "Monday at 11:00 AM" from K Street are now up for sale and feature strong cast and production values. AV MOD strategically supports the indie filmmaker and with minimum resources, brings their titles such as "The Grace of Bob" from Bell Tower to market. This is a great example of getting a title into physical retail effortlessly and without the usual constraints of traditional supply chain management. Major studios continue to add exciting new titles to the market as well, Warner Archive brings Albert Brooks "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World" and Sony's BD release "The Comedian" starring Robert DeNiro are also ready for presale.

  • American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection (S0256)
    S0256 American Radio Collection, 1931-1972 Collection 256 514 Audio Tapes This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. This collection is stored off site. Please allow 3-5 business days for retrieval. The American Radio Collection was donated to WHMC by the Thomas Jefferson Library. All tapes are reel-to-reel. All programs listed in this inventory are alphabetized by the first letter of each program, except for articles. Programs titled by a performers name are alphabetized by the performer’s first name: e.g., Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, etc. Wherever possible, programs are headed with a brief comment on their nature and the years they were broadcast. Introduction to American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection 256 The American Radio Collection, composed of 514 reel-to-reel tapes, is a valuable piece of American social and cultural history. Tapes in the collection cover the early years of commercial broadcast radio through its golden years to the decline of network radio in the early 1960s. Today commercial radio aims its programs at specific audiences, listeners with different interests in music, politics, religion, and sports. News, commentary, and call-in- shows try to win loyal audiences to this “niche programming,” as it is sometimes called. Today, broadcast radio rarely seeks to appeal to a broad audience of varying ages, genders, ethnicities, occupations, or geographic locations. Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companionis a rare live broadcast aimed at a national audience but it attracts only a small audience, largely white and middle class.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, November 6, 2017 the United
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, November 6, 2017 The United Service Organizations: USOs were related to wartime. The organization was founded in 1941 as an independent non-profit with the encouragement of the U. S. Government to entertain the expanding number of American troops as the country was heating up for World War II. Incorporating the services of the Salvation Army, the YMCA, the YWCA, and others, it was not long until the movie industry in Hollywood got on board and developed what were then called “Camp Shows.” Governor Thomas E. Dewey was the first national campaign chairman; the second was Prescott Bush, later a senator from Connecticut and father of President George H. W. Bush. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the honorary chairman. Irving Berlin’s “This is the Army” was one of the greatest musical shows of World War II, copied somewhat from his World War I show “Yip Yip Yaphank.” Berlin himself performed in both of them, surrounded by talented showmen who were in the service. Although “God Bless America” had been written in 1917, “This Is the Army” made it famous. The show was made into a 1943 movie starring Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Rosemary DeCamp, and Alan Hale. I saw the stage show three times when it came through Guam just as the war ended in 1945. Bob Hope’s “Camp Show,” which he took to troops all over the world, may have been the most popular and certainly the longest-lasting, of all the U.S.O. shows. From the largest U.S.
