    COVERING THE TV BEAT: GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ON COLOR TV ARE BEING LIFTED. How- ever, this doesn't bring color on your screen any closer. Color TV will arrive after extensive four-month field tests of the system recently developed through the pooled research of major set manufacturers; after the FCC studies and ap- proves the new method ; and after the many more months it will take to organize factory production of sets and to in- stall color telecasting equipment. TED MACK AND THE ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR RETURN to your TV screen April 25 to be seen each Saturday from 8:30 - 9 p.m. It will replace the second half of THE ALL-STAR REVUE, which goes off.

Since 1950, a 3D TV system, developed in coop- eration with DuMont, has been in daily use at the AEC's Argonne National Laboratories near Chicago. It allows technicians to watch atomic doings closely without danger from radiation. TV WRESTLERS ARE PACKING THEM IN AT PHILADELPHIA'S MOVIE houses where they are billed as added stage attractions with simulated TV bouts.

  • Spinello Suspected Successor with 500 Absentee Ballots Still to Be Tallied Suozzi Yet to Concede by Kevin C
    Volume XXIII No. 10 Hometown Newspaper for Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood, Locust Valley and Brookville Week of 11/7/13 75C Spinello Suspected Successor With 500 Absentee Ballots Still to Be Tallied Suozzi Yet to Concede by Kevin C. Horton Although numbers aren’t official, with a reported over 500 absentee ballots still to be tallied, results are showing Reginald Spinello (Rep) is beating out incumbent Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi (Dem) for Mayor of Glen Cove in the November 5, 2013 election. As the numbers were posted on a screen on the wall of Spinello’s headquarters located on Glen Street the packed crowd of people cheered the results. A cautious Glen Cove Republi- can Party Chairman Paul Meli said, There are over 500 absentee ballots to be counted and in 2011 the final decision wasn’t official until December, “But based on our findings tonight I’d like to introduce you to your next Mayor... Reggie Spinello!” Spinello, who will be the first Republi- can Mayor since 1993 said, “I am aware of the many challenges that our city faces . Sta- bilizing our taxes is always first in the minds of taxpayers. There will be accountability by all department heads to manage their depart- ments in an efficient and cost effective man- ner. Bringing new business into our city , re- vitalizing our downtown and ridding our city of illegal housing are critical components to the success of my administration. Glen Cove voters have asked for change and I intend to deliver it.” As of last reports Spinello leads Suozzi by 115 votes with a margin of 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent, accouting to unofficial results.

  • Henrietta Porter in the Television Series Trackdown
    A Woman with Influence: Henrietta Porter in the Television Series Trackdown WILLIAM HAMPES In the 1950’s women on television tended to be relegated to traditional domestic roles as contented housewives: Father Knows Best (1954-1963), Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963), The Donna Reed Show (1959-1966), etc. This emphasis on domesticity was found throughout the culture at the time because although “the actual lived experience of domesticity was fraught with problems, the family ideal still promised material benefits and personal stability in a confusing world.” (Spigel 34). Even when women were single, self-supporting and competent in their chosen profession, they conformed to the traditional feminine role as, for example, in Our Miss Brooks (1952-1956) (Dow xvii). Conflicts that occurred tended to center around the normal growing pains that the couple’s children were having rather than any fundamental disagreements between husband and wife. Female resistance against gender roles was mainly confined to wives disobeying or disagreeing with their husbands, typically in shows about childless couples where conflict could not focus on the children, such as I Married Joan (1952-1955), The Honeymooners (1955-1956), and I Love Lucy (1951-1957).1 In regards to Joan and Lucy their rebellion against their respective husbands consisted of their wacky, unrealistic and unsuccessful attempts to seek employment outside of their marriage (Spigel 174- 177). Alice Kramden of the Honeymooners was different. As the long-suffering wife of her often-irresponsible husband, Ralph, she did not pull any verbal punches when she was angry and frustrated with Ralph’s inconsiderate schemes and ridiculous 1 It is true that Lucy and Ricky gave birth to little Ricky, but he was not born until the second season and appeared in only eight episodes in the first four years of the series.

  • Sitcoms and Suburbia: the Role of Network Television in the De-Urbanization of the U.S., 1949-1991
    SITCOMS AND SUBURBIA: THE ROLE OF NETWORK TELEVISION IN THE DE-URBANIZATION OF THE U.S., 1949-1991 By MICHAEL RAY FITZGERALD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MASS COMMUNICATIONS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Michael Ray Fitzgerald 2 To my wife, Susan, whose support and encouragement made this work possible. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my adviser and chair, Bernell Tripp, for walking me through the minefield, so to speak. I am so grateful that she introduced me to historical methods, because I was beginning to become dissatisfied with the limitations of quantitative research. What is more, she was fun to work with, and her offhand knowledge of television is astounding. I am especially grateful to my other committee members, Johanna Cleary and Julian Williams, for being more concerned with helping me improve my work than simply making me follow the rules. Dr. Cleary encouraged me to clarify my theoretical basis (even though historical studies are generally non theory-driven), and the result may be the most important section of my study. I also wish to thank Lynda Lee Kaid, who taught me the basics of content analysis and made the very valuable suggestion that a time shift be imposed on my data, which turned out to be the equivalent of shining a light on my findings. I would most of all like to thank my wife, Susan Allen, for lending moral and material support while I concentrated on graduate school and my mother, for her television expertise and for teaching me to be skeptical.

    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.

Societal processes taking place within fields continually shape and recreate our concepts of man and woman. Within television this is no different. Although a field closely tied to capitalistic economic interests, television has been afforded a slight amount of autonomy that has allowed certain shows in certain genres to be engaged with by audiences much like literature that is rich in symbolism and open to multiple interpretations. This study addresses how gender has structured the field over three distinct time periods as it expanded and provided men with opportunities and resources to create television shows that were more film like and less overtly commercial.

We understand that every person leaves a unique legacy and that the greatest tribute is not grief but gratitude for a life well lived.

This Distinguished Residents Book features the biographies and photos of some of those individuals whose legacies have impacted our lives 2 and helped to shape our culture and our community. It has been created to honor their memory and to inspire generations by their extraordinary accomplishments, tenacity and philanthropy. There are stars whose brightness is visible on earth although they have long burned out. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living.

  • Nov /Dec 2O15 2726 Subscribers No.82 Radio’S Straight Shooter TOM MIX Byjackfrench © 2015
    The Old RadioTimes The Official Publication of the Old-TimeRadioResearchers Nov /Dec 2O15 www.otrr.org 2726 Subscribers No.82 Radio’s Straight Shooter TOM MIX byJackFrench © 2015 One of the longest running dramatic shows in the Golden Age of Radio portrayed the adven- tures of a cowboy-detective. The program was Tom Mix, sponsored by Ralston Purina of St. Louis, Missouri. The cereal that Tom Mix sold by the carload to his radio audience of yesteryear has virtually disappeared from grocery stores. But to many Tom Mix is still as firmly associated with Ralston as their famous red and white checkerboard trademark. And it all came about because of the tremendous popularity of this western radio show, night after night, week after week, over a span of seventeen years. The success of the radio program was no surprise to its creator, Charles E. Claggett, Sr., of St. Louis, Missouri. Claggett, then a spry 68 year old investment counselor when I inter- viewed him in 1976, told me "I'd done my home- work and I knew Tom Mix would be as great a hit on radio as he was in movies." In 1932 Claggett, a copywriter for Gardner in advertising and to impersonate him on radio.
