Legal Challenges to State Censorship, 1915–1981
392 Book Reviews moral, family-focused, citizen ideals . were contrasted with images of urban-affiliated youth and Left political activist movements that suggested a ‘rejection of American values’ and of ‘straight American society’’’ (79). Expanding on this theme, a fascinating overview of MTM Productions’ ‘‘quality comedies’’ of the 1970s offers richly detailed analyses of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and WKRP in Cincinnati, contending that while these shows presented a ‘‘newly urbane imagination of the Midwest’’ (113) they also deflected larger issues of dissent and unrest prevalent in the Vietnam and post-Vietnam eras, representing the Heartland as a place ‘‘untouched by political turmoil . which survived the sixties unfazed, unaltered and in balance’’ (117). Among other topics, remaining chapters explore the controversial portrayals of lesbianism in Rosanne and Ellen, as well as how news coverage and commemora- tion of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing drew insistently on the Heartland narrative. There are a few problematic areas. Although the book is for the most part engagingly written, it is occasionally burdened with dense and repetitive academic jargon, revealing its origins as a dissertation. Also, while likely the decision of the publisher and not the author, the absence of a bibliography is inappropriate for a major work of scholarship. These concerns do not detract from Johnson’s overall accomplishment, however. Her work is thoroughly researched, conceptually sophisticated, and offers a fresh rethinking of the history and cultural politics of television. A fine example of the exciting new scholarship emerging in television studies, Heart- land TV is a ground-breaking study and likely to become a future classic.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page{s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in die adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right .in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The method used to test the relationship between television presentation and foreign studett:se orientation toward cultural Values involved three steps: (1) traditional values were identified and matched to television prograis, and the matchingprocess was validated: (2) a baseline of United States students! perceptions of thesevalues was determined: and (3) foreign studenks! perceptionswere measured. The results suggested that television can reinforce existing perceptions of American culture. The findings also suggested that Q-factor research is one plausible and fairly valid method for investigating the ability of television to accIlturate foreign students intoUnited States culture.

The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart”—Bob Newhart (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart”—Bob Newhart (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Bob Newhart Bob Newhart’s landmark comedy album of 1960 has the distinction of being the first comedy album to ever win the Grammy for Best Album of the Year. It is also, to date, one of only two comedy albums ever to obtain that honor. (Vaughn Meader’s “First Family,” made two years later, would be the other.) Though it was just the third time the award had ever been given out, it was still no small feat; Newhart’s competition that year included music by Frank Sinatra, Harry Belafonte, and Nat King Cole. For Newhart, formerly a professional accountant living in Chicago, “Button-Down” was the spectacular start of a remarkable performing, recording and television career. The album would also prove to be a high water mark in American comedy as well as signify a major tonal shift in the world of “what’s funny.” George Robert Newhart was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1929. By his own admission, Newhart’s childhood gave him little reason to grow up to be funny. Unlike most professional comedians, he never felt h had anything to rebel against or defend himself from. Newhart claims to have had a happy, contented childhood in a Midwest, middle class and intact family. Still, from an early age, his knack for impressions (including Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney) and a highly dry wit, garnered him some attention as a low-key class clown.
