Times per country visit Hbocaribbean. com A spinoff of Riverdale, KATY KEENE follows the life and loves of four iconic Archie Comics characters — future fashion legend Katy Keene, singer and composer Josie McCoy, performer Jorge López/Ginger and 'It Girl' Pepper Smith — while they pursue their twentysomething dreams in New York City. Katy (Lucy Hale) designs clothing for whoever asks her, like her friend and roommate (Ashleigh Murray), whose talent attracts the attention of Alexander Cabot (Lucien Laviscount), the CEO of a record company that is looking to relaunch his father’s corporate empire. But Alexander clashes with the powerful senior vice president of Cabot Media, Alexandra (Camille Hyde), who is also his twin sister. Meanwhile, Josie and Katie’s roommate, Jorge (Jonny Beauchamp), works in his family’s restaurant and dreams of being on Broadway, but after various failed attempts, he hopes to develop his drag career as Ginger. The mysterious Pepper Smith (Julia Chan) plans to open her own version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. She has the connections, but no one really knows where she is getting the money, or if she really has it. Katy tries to manage the pressures of her day job at Lacy’s Department Store and her demanding boss Gloria (Katherine LaNasa), a legendary personal shopper. Fortunately, Katy has the support of her boyfriend KO Kelly (Zane Holtz), who dreams of becoming a professional boxer. While these aspiring artists are taking on the runway, the recording studio, Broadway and the New York City social scene, they will find more than just a career — they will find a lifelong friendship. KATY KEENE is developed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa & Michael Grassi and is based on characters from Archie Comics. The pilot is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa & Michael Grassi and is directed by Maggie Kiley. Executive producers include Greg Berlanti, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Michael Grassi, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater. The show is a production of Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation. Dismemberment. Serial killers. Graphic gore. Hey, Kids! COMICS!! Since the release of The Dark Knight film series and the 22 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic-book characters have become wildly popular in other forms of entertainment, particularly television. But broadcast TV’s representations of comic-book characters are no longer the bright, colorful, and optimistic figures of the past. Children are innately attracted to comic-book characters; but in today’s comic book-based programs, children are being exposed to graphic violence, profanity, dark and intense themes, and other inappropriate content. In this research report, the PTC examined comic book-themed prime-time programming on the maJor broadcast networks during November, February, and May “sweeps” periods from November 2012 through May 2019. Programs examined were Fox’s Gotham; CW’s Arrow, Black Lightning, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends oF Tomorrow, and Riverdale; and ABC’s Marvel’s Agents oF S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Agent Carter, and Marvel’s Inhumans. Research data suggest that broadcast television programs based on these comic-book characters, created and intended for children, are increasingly inappropriate and/or unsafe for young viewers. In its research, the PTC found the following during the study period: • In comic book-themed programming with particular appeal to children, young viewers were exposed to over 6,000 incidents of violence, over 500 deaths, and almost 2,000 profanities. • The most violent program was CW’s Arrow. Young viewers witnessed 1,241 acts of violence, including 310 deaths, 280 instances of gun violence, and 26 scenes of people being tortured.

KATY KEENE, Reborn Continued from Page 1 Just of Woggon, but Lucas As Well
THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 36, Number 7 Thursday, February 20, 2020 KKATYATY KKEENE,EbyE AndrewN TallacksonE, RReborneborn hen John Lucas was 7, his older sis- ter Martha invited ﬁ ve or six friends over for a slumber party. Martha was six Wyears older then. The last thing she wanted was her younger brother hang- ing around. But John, as little broth- ers are wont to do, had no qualms of bugging his older sibling. “I remember Martha going to our mom and saying, ‘Mom, make John leave us alone.’ You know, the usual classic stuff,” Lucas said. One of Martha’s friends had brought a stack of comic books. Now, you must understand, John’s parents disap- proved of such reading. To them, it was garbage. Typically, John’s only op- portunity to peruse them was at the doctor’s ofﬁ ce. So that move, on behalf of Martha’s friend, was a stroke of ge- nius. John left his sister and her pals alone. Thumbing through the comic books, he encountered typical fare, fa- miliar faces like Superman. Then, he gazed upon Katy Keene. John’s 7-year-old eyes could not look away. She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. On the cover, she appeared to be emerging from a rose and wearing a strapless evening gown. The title for the edition was “Katy Keene Spectacular.” Turning the pages, John discovered a typical story for the character, promoted by Archie Comics as “America’s Queen of Pin- Ups and Fashions.” The young starlet was aching for her big break in show business.
