  • Jeff Kingsley December 16, 2013
    “Leave It to Beaver” and a Family Perspective Jeff Kingsley December 16, 2013 Many of us fondly recall watching a TV show called Leave It to Beaver, that ran from 1957-63, and laughing at the antics of little “Beaver,” enjoying the give and take (and teasing) between him and elder brother Wally, while admiring the wisdom of his parents, June and Ward Cleaver. Little did we know that this show, in one sense, held the key to creating the ideal world. Not that it was perfect or that it can “easily” be applied to the perhaps more complicated world in which we now find ourselves firmly embedded. But the main elements that comprise an ideal family were there, and as Reverend Moon often said, consonant with the great sages of the past, the true society is like an ideal family writ large. This concept reminds me of a matryoshka doll I purchased when I was in Russia helping with the Divine Principle workshops being held in the Crimea in the early 90s. It consisted of a finely crafted set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside the other. The art dates back to the 1890s, but one of the most popular versions in the early 1990s was a wooden doll of Mikhail Gorbachev, which, when opened, led to a virtual cornucopia of “great” Soviet leaders in reverse chronological order, one inside the other, culminating in Vladimir Lenin in the center. The intimation was that all the Communist leaders were cut from the same cloth, following the pattern set by Lenin.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • Ward, What to Do About the Beav?
    attorneys at law . a professional corporation WARD, WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE BEAV? By: Jim Astrachan "The script for this commercial calls for two young actors to portray Wally and Beaver Cleaver-type brothers," the creative director reported to her assembled team. "They won't be look-, or sound-, alikes but there will be no doubt who they are supposed to be. The commercial will be filmed in the bedroom the boys share in a large suburban house, furnished with early sixties furniture and movie posters. "The younger brother has an overwhelming problem that's driving him nuts. Finally, he lays the problem on his brother, who poses an unworkable, Wally-like hair-brained solution. Eventually, the brothers take the problem to dad, who solves the problem off-camera with a few well-chosen words of fatherly advice. "A voice-over will announce that some problems even dad can't solve. If the viewer has a problem and needs someone to talk to, call the Crisis Hot Line of Outreach To You, a company that provides counseling over its 900 telephone number." The very narrow legal question posed by this proposed script for a TV commercial is whether the advertiser can run a commercial intended to conjure up thoughts of Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow in the minds of viewers, without violating their rights of publicity. The question is narrow, but the answer, based on First Amendment-protected parody, is even thinner. "Jim," the creative director asked, "we need to know if this ad is legal?" "Many states have passed laws that protect the right of publicity, being the right of a person to control the commercial use of his or her identity," I answered.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “I DREAM OF JEANNIE” STAR RETURNS TO SPACE COAST Barbara Eden to Perform at 50th Anniversary of Iconic TV Series COCOA BEACH, FL – September 3, 2015. Barbara Eden, the star of the 1960s sitcom, “I Dream of Jeannie,” returns to Florida’s Space Coast on Sunday, October 25 for the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the iconic show set in Cocoa Beach, FL. “On the Magic Carpet with Barbara Eden” will feature Ms. Eden and “Entertainment Tonight” and Showtime movie reporter Bill Harris on stage at the Scott Center Auditorium on the campus of Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne. The performance will take guests back into Jeannie’s Magic Bottle in a fun-filled evening of storytelling and the screening of rare and never before seen film clips featuring Barbara Eden and such stars as Elvis Presley, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, and her “I Dream of Jeannie” co-star Larry Hagman. The show will also include a lively Q & A session between Ms. Eden and the audience, in addition to a limited Meet & Greet reception following the performance. “The people of Cocoa Beach have always been so gracious and welcoming to me,” said Eden. “Even though we never actually filmed the show there, we have spent a lot of time on the Space Coast. It seems like a second home to me, and I am very excited to go back there and see so many familiar and friendly faces.” The show and Ms. Eden’s appearance are largely made possible due in part to the support of SCB Marketing and the Brevard County Tourism Development Council's Special Event Marketing Grant Program and the Space Coast Office of Tourism.

  • Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice Across Decades
    Home > Vol 21, No 5 (2018) > Ford Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice across Decades Jessica Ford In recent years, the US television landscape has been flooded with reboots, remakes, and revivals of “classic” nineties television series, such as Full/er House (1987-1995, 2016- present), Will & Grace (1998-2006, 2017-present), Roseanne (1988-1977, 2018), and Charmed (1998-2006, 2018-present). The term “reboot” is often used as a catchall for different kinds of revivals and remakes. “Remakes” are derivations or reimaginings of known properties with new characters, cast, and stories (Loock; Lavigne). “Revivals” bring back an existing property in the form of a continuation with the same cast and/or setting. “Revivals” and “remakes” both seek to capitalise on nostalgia for a specific notion of the past and access the (presumed) existing audience of the earlier series (Mittell; Rebecca Williams; Johnson). Reboots operate around two key pleasures. First, there is the pleasure of revisiting and/or reimagining characters that are “known” to audiences. Whether continuations or remakes, reboots are invested in the audience’s desire to see familiar characters. Second, there is the desire to “fix” and/or recuperate an earlier series. Some reboots, such as the Charmed remake attempt to recuperate the whiteness of the original series, whereas others such as Gilmore Girls: A Life in the Year (2017) set out to fix the ending of the original series by giving audiences a new “official” conclusion. The Roseanne reboot is invested in both these pleasures. It reunites the original cast for a short-lived, but impactful nine-episode tenth season.

  • HIV/AIDS Let's Talk About It: Prevention
    HIV/AIDS Let’s Talk About It: Prevention and Awareness in the Community May Nealey Tinsley Elementary School INTRODUCTION HIV/AIDS may seem like an irrelevant subject for elementary students; however, I am fully convinced that not only is it a subject that needs to be taught to that age group, but that it must be implemented now. Take a moment to look at our culture today. We are exposing our young children to sexual activity at increasingly younger ages. We need look no further than the family television set to see the cultural changes that have taken place in the last few years. In the 1960s, Hugh Beaumont could only give Barbara Billingsley a chaste kiss on the cheek in any room in the house except the bedroom on the popular sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. Single parent, Fred MacMurray, on the popular series, My Three Sons, would have never asked his lady friend to spend the night or live with him without the benefit of marriage. In our culture today we see married couples in bed together in sexually implicit scenes that leave little to the imagination on both daytime and nighttime television. We see single couples, both heterosexual and homosexual, living together openly. Shows like Will & Grace and Ellen have done much to change the attitudes of the average American as to what can and cannot be shown on national television. Even with these groundbreaking shows, polls show that 55% of Americans still disapprove of same sex marriage (Pew Forum). A Gallup Poll conducted in 2002 shows that 51% of Americans are married, 6% live with a partner, 9% are widowed, 14% are separated or divorced, and 18% never married.
