  • Criminal Minds
    February 2020 #82 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Broadcast Has Some Great TV Series Too By Steve Sternberg In December, I released my analysis of the 27 best TV series of 2019. In alphabetical order – Barry, Big Little Lies, Bosch, The Boys, Dead to Me, Fleabag, GLOW, Goliath, The Good Fight, The Good Place, Harlots, Jessica Jones, Killing Eve, The Kominsky Method, Mindhunter, The Morning Show, Mr Inbetween, Pose, Queen of the South, Rick & Morty, Russian Doll, Sneaky Pete, Star Trek: Discovery, Succession, This is Us, Vida, and Watchmen. As was the case with the Emmys, The Golden Globes, and virtually every TV critic, I demonstrated a clear bias against broadcast network series. Of my 27 best TV series, 15 are on streaming services, 5 are on premium cable, 5 are on ad-supported cable, and only 2 were on broadcast TV. There are, of course, some logical reasons for this. • Broadcast series have to answer to advertisers (and the FCC), so have limitations regarding language and sexual content that do not hinder cable or streaming services. A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message Reach thousands of highly engaged media and advertising decision makers. Contact [email protected] for details about advertising here. The Sternberg Report ©2020 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ • While cable and streaming series generally have between 6 and 13 episodes per season, broadcast series typically have between 17 and 24 episodes (although a few this season have 13). It’s difficult to write that many good episodes in a season, so it requires a lot more “filler.” • More broadcast dramas have self-contained episodes, as opposed to season-long story arcs, which are more prevalent on cable and streaming series.

  • Li Thesis Word
    Li 1 Emma Li Prof. Ruti Talmor Senior Seminar in Media Studies 5 December 2020 The Good Place as Meta-Television: The Production Process and the Narrative “Oh, it looks like paradise, but it’s actually a filthy dumpster full of our worst anxieties. .. We’ve been torturing each other since the moment we arrived, and everything Michael has done has made at least one of us miserable.” “Oh dip! Eleanor, I told you that first night that we were in a prank show.” (Schur) Welcome to The Good Place Introduction The Good Place is worth critically examining as a piece of meta-television not only for its metareferences to the television medium and conventions, but also as a case study for demonstrating the functional potentials and limitations of meta-television. Through analyzing The Good Place, this paper seeks to broaden the definition of meta-television to one that is inclusive of its intertextual, self-reflexive, critical, and functional characteristics. Not all of these characteristics need to be present for a show to be considered meta-television. Since much of the past scholarly focus has been on the former two characteristics, this paper also aims to encourage further exploration of the critical and functional potential of meta-television, especially as it relates to the television medium. This paper seeks to first gain a solid understanding of existing discourse on meta- television, the sitcom genre, and the television medium. Given this foundational knowledge, the primary questions this paper seeks to answer are the following. How does The Good Place operate as a work of meta-television and comment on its own medium? How does this case study challenge or expand upon current understandings of meta-television, especially in terms of its critical and functional potentials? Li 2 About the Show The Good Place, created by Michael Schur, is a genre-bending television series produced by NBC and internationally distributed by Netflix.
