  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • The NBA Live Franchise an Analysis of Gameplay and Marketing Advances Over the Years Since Its Inception
    The NBA Live Franchise An analysis of gameplay and marketing advances over the years since its inception STS 145: History of Game Design Professor Henry Lowood 3/16/2004 1 Pre-Game Warmups: Introduction Electronic Arts (EA), headquartered in Redwood City, California, is the world's leading independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software for personal computers and advanced entertainment systems. Year in and year out their games dominate the sports video games market. EA’s flagship and most popular basketball game, NBA Live, has advanced significantly in many areas of game design since its first release in 1995. This case study is an in-depth analysis of how EA Sports’ NBA Live series has advanced over the years, focusing on the ways in which it is exemplary of the evolution of video game design and marketing. Specifically, we will analyze the advances in game play (improvement of controls, realism, graphics, etc.) and the unprecedented marketing strategies that combined to make the NBA Live series such a huge success in the sports gaming industry. NBA Live was one of the few games on the basketball simulation market during its early years, leaving it with very little competition, which subsequently stagnated advances and innovation. Between its inception and about 1999, the game primarily advanced graphically as newer consoles and more powerful personal computers entered the market. Up until their 2002 release EA Sports sat comfortably on top of the market without making any groundbreaking gameplay innovations. In 2003, however, on the heels of intense competition from Sega with their NBA 2K series, EA introduced the Freestyle control, which revolutionized gameplay by allowing users to execute special moves by the moving of the right analog stick while dribbling, passing, or playing defense.

  • As WGA Members in Scripted Film and Television, We Stand in Solidarity with Our Colleagues at Vox Media
    As WGA members in scripted film and television, we stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Vox Media - including Curbed, Eater, Polygon, Recode, SB Nation, The Goods, The Verge, Vox.com, and Vox Studios - as they bargain their first union contract. Film, television, and other parts of the media and entertainment industries have long been unionized because creative workers fought for a seat at the table to negotiate fair wages, good benefits, and just working conditions. Particularly as Vox Media expands further into television and film production, we call on the company to agree to a union contract that lives up to its status as a leader in this industry.
