JOKE of the WEEK: An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly.” The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?” The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know.... The one that's red and has thorns.” “Do you mean a rose?” “Yes, that's the one,” replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?” QUOTE for the DAY: “Rotary believes that the citizen who best serves his country is the one who wishes to know the truth about his neighbors, and who desires to replace hatred between nations with friendship.” Ge orge C. Hager Rotary Club of Chicago STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW January 12, 1971: The Sitcom, “All In The Family” premiered on CBS. Historians call it the series that brought reality to TV. The head of the family, Archie Bunker, was a loudmouth, uneducated bigot who believes every stereotype he’s ever encountered. His wife, Edith, “The Dingbat” isn’t the the brightest bulb on the shelf but she loves and is devoted to Archie. Their daughter, Gloria, liberal but as stubborn as Archie is married to ultra liberal, unemployed, Mike, “Meathead” Stivic and together they all live in a working-class home in Astoria Queens, NY. A black family, the Jefferson’s, live next door. Edith’s cousin, Maude, is a strident feminist who visits regularly, often just to rile Archie.... The series was produced by partners Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin’s Tandem productions. It was a groundbreaking show dealing with issues previously considered unsuitable for television, such as; racism, infidelity, homosexuality, women's liberation, rape, religion, miscarriages, abortion, breast cancer, the Vietnam War, menopause, and impotence, and more. The series arguably the most influential comedy shows on the air. It “pushed the envelope” in ways that have become commonplace today. It had the very first audible sound of a toilet flushing and the first time a black man, Sammy Davis Jr., “kissed” a white man, Archie. It became the most watched show of its time, and the first to top the Neilson ratings five years in a row. It ended its nine year run in 1979 but was followed by Archie Bunker’s place for four more years and the popular spin-offs, The Jefferson’s and Maude. Television history was made this day in 1971, 46 years ago. (When I worked as Assistant Divisional Director of the television department at Rutgers University, and also taught two TV producing &directing courses, Bud Yorkin, who had worked at NBC in New York with the Director of our department, sent me a video tape copy of the Sammy Davis Jr, episode mentioned above for use in my classes. Sadly, I can no longer watch it for lack of the proper equipment. - Ed.) USELESS FACT OF THE DAY: It’s the law: In Texas you cannot shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel (If there’s a buffalo anywhere near your hotel today, you’re too far out of town), but blind people can hunt in our state parks, though not without a laser sight. (Caution, it’s best to walk behind them) HOW ROTARIANS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE Bill Gray, Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston, Ont., Canada, a retired financial adviser, says his gifts go further with Rotary. Bill approaches a gift to Rotary like any business transaction: as a smart investment. “The Rotary Foundation belongs to all contributors,” he says, noting Rotary’s transparency and careful stewardship. “My membership is incredibly valuable to me, and as an investor, I have a sense of ownership, of contribution, of effectively saying, ‘Count me in’!” Gray has traveled to Barbados, Kenya, Korea, and Uganda to work on service projects. The Ugandan project brought Rotarians from different countries and provided mosquito nets to protect 56,000 children from malaria. Rotary, promoting international understanding through collaboration inspired Gray and wife, Nancy, to establish an endowed fund supporting the Rotary Peace Centers. “The Rotary Foundation is the glue that keeps Rotary together and enables meaningful endeavors across borders” he says. “By pooling our resources with Rotarians everywhere, we can accomplish more than we could ever dream of doing.” Bill and Nancy are proof that individual Rotarians can truly make a difference. .

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JONAS-FOWLER, JOYCELYN J. B.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1996 M.P.A. TROY STATE UNIVERSITY, 2005 IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?
