  • A Textual Analysis of the Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21St Century Television
    A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE CLOSER AND SAVING GRACE: FEMINIST AND GENRE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY TELEVISION Lelia M. Stone, B.A., M.P.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

  • 1St Time Charm! Master’S Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano
    Fall 2008 1st Time Charm! Master’s Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano Exciting Acquisition— a First for the College of Music rriving in spring 2007 from the McNulty workshop in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous fortepiano, an 1805 Walter und Sohn copy, Ahas already become an important educational and performance tool within the College of Music. Many, many thanks are due to Professor Emeritus Michael Collins, philanthropist Paul Voertman and the National Endowment for the Arts for their generosity that enabled us to purchase this instrument. One of its most interesting uses has been the recording project planned in conjunction with an upcoming book by UNT musicology alumnus James “Chip” Parsons, Professor of Music at Missouri State University and a former student of Professor Collins. A-R Editions will publish Dr. Parsons’ book on early alternate settings of Schiller’s poem “An die Freude” (heard in the famous last movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). The accompanying CD, coordinated by UNT faculty Elvia Puccinelli, will include selections based on the facsimile scores included in the book.

  • (Many Thanks to Marina for Sharing This Discussion) Sat Jan 30, 1993
    Many years ago, in the beginning of Beauty and the Beast fandom, George Martin, one of the show’s producers and writers, was a member of an on-line BatB discussion group. He had a lot of very interesting info to share about his experiences behind the scenes - an explodes a lot of persistant fandom myths about the series. (Many thanks to Marina for sharing this discussion) These are comments by George RR Martin, in response to some fan questions which were part of a complex discussion among participants between January 30, 1993 and May 7, 1995. Questions can usually be inferred from the answers. Sat Jan 30, 1993 Certainly all of us on the show knew that Catherine’s death would be hard for many people to accept. We certainly never just shrugged and said, “Okay, she dies, we’ll get another one.” CBS might have liked us to, I will admit -- once it was clear that Linda was leaving, and we had made the decision not to recast, the network strongly urged us to “get it over with and move on.” Instead, we produced the arc. Say what you want about the arc, but it was in no sense a “getting it over with.” Catherine may have been dead, but her memory and her presence DRENCHED the third season, impacting on every character, shaping their dialogue, their actions, their very look on life. Never in the entire history of television has a dead character been mourned so long and so grievously by so many. Compare, if you will, REASONABLE DOUBTS.
