  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • 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.

Additionally, I’d like to thank my parents and my friends for putting up with my incessant mentioning of how much work I always had to do when writing this thesis. Their patience and understanding was tremendous and helped motivate me to continue on at times when I felt uninspired. And lastly, I’d like to thank my brother for always calling me back whenever I needed help eloquently naming all the concepts and patterns that I could only describe in my head. Having a trusted ally to bounce ideas off and to help better express my observations was invaluable. Thanks, bro! v Abstract This research analyzes the implicit and explicit messages viewers receive about the LGBT community in primetime sitcoms.

  • 8 TV Power Games: Friends and Law & Order
    8 TV Power Games: Friends and Law & Order There is no such thing as a one-man show | at least not in television: one feature that all TV shows have in common is the combination of a large number of diverse contributors: producers, scriptwriters, actors, and so on. This is illustrated in Exhibit 8.1, which depicts the links between key contributors to the making and selling of a TV show. Solid lines repre- sent some form of contractual relationship, whereas dashed lines represent non-contractual relationships of relevance for value creation and value distribution. As is the case with movies, pharmaceutical drugs, and other products, the distribution of TV show values is very skewed: many TV shows are worth relatively little, whereas a few shows generate a very high value: For example, at its peak Emmy Award-winning drama ER fetched $13 million per episode.1 How does the value created by successful shows get divided among its various contrib- utors, in particular actors, producers and networks? Who gets the biggest slice of the big pie? In this chapter, I address this question by looking at two opposite extreme cases in terms of relative negotiation power: Law & Order and Friends. Law & Order | and profits The legal drama series Law & Order was first broadcast on NBC on September 13, 1990. (The pilot episode, produced in 1988, was intended for CBS, but the network rejected it, just as Fox did later, in both cases because the show did not feature any \breakout" characters.) By the time the last show aired on May 24, 2010, it was the longest-running crime drama on American prime time TV.

  • Fleabag and Self-Reflexivity: Breaking-The-Fourth-Wall of a Woman’S Inner World
    FLEABAG AND SELF-REFLEXIVITY: BREAKING-THE-FOURTH-WALL OF A WOMAN’S INNER WORLD Luis Rocha Antunes1 ABSTRACT This essay analyzes and describes the use of self-reflexivity in the series Fleabag (Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 2016-2019), showing that the televised series makes use of breaking-the-fourth-wall to create an ongoing relationship between the main character and the viewer. By testing the series' application of self-reflexivity against Jean-Marc Limoges' five criteria of fictional engagement, the essay explains why breaking-the- fourth-wall in Fleabag is not a mere comical device but an entire diegetic layer that shapes the viewer's perception of the character and their engagement with the story. Finally, this study offers a description of the concept of a personal live audience as a way to explain the dramatic importance of breaking-the-fourth-wall in the series, namely, how it impacts Waller-Bridge's performance as an actress, and it empowers her character. The overarching goal of the essay is to demonstrate the originality self- reflexivity in Fleabag and how breaking-the-fourth-wall helps to perceive the inner world of a character with a dimensionality that would be difficult to achieve without the use of self-reflexivity. Keywords: Breaking-the-fourth-wall; Self-Reflexivity; Fleabag; Personal Live Audience; FLEABAG E AUTO-REFLEXIVIDADE: QUEBRANDO A QUARTA PAREDE NO MUNDO INTERIOR DE UMA MULHER RESUMO Este estudo analisa e descreve o uso de auto-reflexividade na série Fleabag (Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 2016-2019), mostrando o uso que a série faz da quebra da quarta parede de forma a criar um relacionamento contínuo estabelecido entre a personagem principal e o espectador.

Societal relevance as success factor of TV series: the creators’ perception. 2019, University of Zurich, Faculty of Arts. Societal Relevance as Success Factor of TV Series: The Creators’ Perception Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcel Verhoeven Accepted in the Spring Term 2019 on the Recommendation of the Doctoral Committee: Prof. Dr. Gabriele Siegert (main advisor) Prof. Dr. M. Bjørn von Rimscha (second advisor) Zurich, 2019 0 Abstract Media mediate societally relevant messages in formats that disseminate information. However, the communication of ideas and opinions on societal issues also takes place in entertainment formats such as fictional TV series. Furthermore, mediation in entertainment is often regarded as more effective than dissemination through information formats, (also) due to the evading of recipients’ selection barriers. The importance of investigating TV series bases on the format’s large narrative space that enables the communication and repetition of ideas and messages and on the format’s popularity with audiences and, consequently, with broadcasters. Countless different influences shape the composition of TV series’ content and the inclusion of societally relevant messages. One potentially very important reason for incorporating specific messages and content elements in TV series is the extent to which decision-makers regard societal relevance as a success factor.
