  • Applying a Rhizomatic Lens to Television Genres
    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • Persuasion in Advertising
    Copyright Material – Provided by Taylor & Francis PART 2 Persuasion in Advertising ebruary 7, 2010, Super Bowl XLIV Sunday: 106.5 million people watched the average minute of the game in which the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts. It was “the most watched TV program ever.”1 That honor had long been held by the final episode of M*A*S*H, watched by 106 million more than twenty-five years ear- F2 lier. Not surprisingly CBS CEO Les Moonves was elated. “For anyone who wants to write that broadcasting is dead, 106 million people watched this program,” he crowed. “You can’t find that anywhere else.”3 Yet we are purportedly in the “post-television age.”4 At a moment in time when “the death of the thirty-second spot” is almost a foregone con- clusion, some thirty-four brands, including the U.S. Census (amid some controversy), made the decision that paying an average of $2.7 million for a thirty-second spot was a sound strategy.5 Brands purchased sixty-seven ads for a total of thirty-six minutes of advertising time. Accord- ing to the executive vice president and director of strategic planning at McCann Erickson, the Super Bowl is “less about the relevance of a message but more about the entertainment quo- tient. [Marketers] aren’t selling a product; they are creating brand buzz.”6 Another advertiser agreed. “It’s never about the Super Bowl ad itself. It’s the best online buzz for the buck.”7 Live polling to determine the most popular commercial took place on a number of sites; winners varied.

  • HAROLD R. NEWMAN: an Affectionate Recollection of a Towering Influence Richard A
    HAROLD R. NEWMAN: An Affectionate Recollection of a Towering Influence Richard A. Curreri A retrospective on PERB’s board members tends to invite the conferral of symbolic titles upon many of these historic figures. Plainly, none of them can lay claim to being the “Father” of the Taylor Law. There is a reason no one calls it the “Public Employees Fair Employment Act” and as such, George Taylor‘s eponymous statute means that paternity is his and his alone. Bob Helsby, a proud Navy veteran of both World War II and the Korean War would have frowned upon being known as anything but Captain of the good ship PERB, and steer it he did, often through turbulent political waters. Sage, Solon, Savant or Scholar? Over the years, PERB’s Boards have been blessed with many whose legal acumen qualifies for one of those appellations. While certainly Joe Crowley and Ida Klaus immediately come to mind, I don’t think anyone could dispute that PERB’s Solomon was Jerry Lefkowitz, given the indispensable role he played in writing, developing and administering the Taylor Law both as Deputy Chair and Chair. So where does this leave Harold Newman? While I’m hesitant to use the term, given what it has unfortunately come to signify, I believe that Harold Newman was undisputedly…the Godfather. Now I’m certain that more than a few of you are chuckling, or worse, at the mention of that moniker. But let’s remember that before Mario Puzo, Francis Ford Coppola and Marlon Brando rebranded it into someone who makes an offer you can’t refuse, “godfather” was, and certainly still is – at least in certain religious circles – a title of veneration signifying an individual who mentors, supports, inspires, advises and provides overall spiritual guidance.

  • CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Chapter 2 the Earliest Extra-Biblical Christian Writings 1 Clement
    CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Chapter 2 The Earliest Extra-Biblical Christian Writings 1 Clement On the morning I was set to send this to the printer, I awakened earlier than planned. Those are nice mornings. They give me a chance to get more done before most of the world expects you to be awake. I got up, had my quiet time, and then took a nice hot cup of mint tea, pulled out my computer, and began to catch up on the daily news. An article that caught my attention was entitled: “Celebrities you probably thought were dead (but aren't).”1 My curiosity got the best of me, and I clicked on the article. It had photographs and brief information quips about 24 stars that no one hears about much anymore, but are still alive. A number of them were “old” when I was a kid. I had seen Olivia de Havilland (1916-present) in the 1939 film Gone With the Wind, but I saw it in the 1970’s. Likewise, Doris Day (1924-present) received her Academy Award nomination for Best Actress the year before I was born, though I certainly knew of her growing up. The ones that really jolted me, however, were the ones from my teenage years. Abe Vigoda (1921-present) for his memorable roles in the Godfather and televisions Taxi, for example. Abe didn’t look that much different, though he had certainly aged. 1 Houston Chronicle, January 9, 2015. http://www.chron.com/entertainment/movies- tv/gallery/Oldest-living-screen-stars-83198.php. 1 The intervening forty years on Abe can certainly be seen, but it is still easy to recognize the man.

  • Actor Known for Barney Miller, the Godfather Dies at 94
    Actor known for Barney Miller, The Godfather dies at 94 Posted by tbnBBM On 01/26/2016 Character actor Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunken-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series "Barney Miller" and the doomed Mafia soldier in "The Godfather," died Tuesday at age 94. Vigoda's daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told The Associated Press that Vigoda died Tuesday morning in his sleep at Fuchs' home in Woodland Park, New Jersey. The cause of death was old age. "This man was never sick," Fuchs said. Vigoda worked in relative obscurity as a supporting actor in the New York theater and in television until Francis Ford Coppola cast him in the 1972 Oscar-winning "The Godfather." Vigoda played Sal Tessio, an old friend of Vito Corleone's (Marlon Brando) who hopes to take over the family after Vito's death by killing his son Michael Corleone (Al Pacino). But Michael anticipates that Sal's suggestion for a "peace summit" among crime families is a setup and the escorts Sal thought were taking him to the meeting turn out to be his executioners. "Tell Mike it was only business," Sal mutters to consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) as he's led away. The great success of the film and "The Godfather Part II" made his face and voice, if not his name, recognizable to the general public and led to numerous roles, often as hoodlums. But it was his comic turn in "Barney Miller," which starred Hal Linden and ran from 1975 to 1982, that brought Vigoda's greatest recognition.
