The University Press of Kentucky History by HBO
Book SynopsisThe television industry is changing, and with it, the small screen''s potential to engage in debate and present valuable representations of American history. Founded in 1972, HBO has been at the forefront of these changes, leading the way for many network, cable, and streaming services into the post-network era. Despite this, most scholarship has been dedicated to analyzing historical feature films and documentary films, leaving TV and the long-form drama hungry for coverage.In History by HBO: Televising the American Past, Rebecca Weeks fills the gap in this area of media studies and defends the historiographic power of long-form dramas. By focusing on this change and its effects, History by HBO outlines how history is crafted on television and the diverse forms it can take. Weeks examines the capabilities of the long-form serial for engaging with historical stories, insisting that the shift away from the network model and toward narrowcasting has enabled challenging histories to thriv

Wayne State University Press Dark Shadows TV Milestones Series
Book SynopsisWhile supernatural events have become fairly commonplace on daytime television in recent decades, Dark Shadows, which aired on ABC between 1966 and 1971, pioneered this format when it blended the vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and witches of fictional Collinsport, Maine, with standard soap opera fare like alcoholism, jealousy, and tangled love. In this volume, author Harry M. Benshoff examines Dark Shadows, both during its initial run and as an enduring cult phenomenon, to prove that the show was an important precursor-or even progenitor-of today's phenomenally popular gothic and fantasy media franchises like Twilight, Harry Potter, and True Blood. Benshoff demonstrates that viewers of all ages responded to the haunted world of Dark Shadows, making unlikely stars out of the show's iconic characters-reluctant vampire Barnabas Collins, playboy werewolf Quentin Collins, vengeful witch Angelique DuVal, and vampire hunter Dr. Julia Hoffman. Benshoff explores the cultural and industrial cTrade ReviewBenshoff provides a synoptic account of one of the most densely plotted of all daytime dramas, engages with much theoretical writing on the soap opera and Gothic genres, and provides new insights into the intersecting and often conflicting public tastes to which the program appeals. He does so with a deftness of touch that makes even complex ideas entertaining in a volume that could be enjoyed, but by no means exhausted, in a single evening." —Kevin Heffernan associate professor in the Division of Cinema-Television at Southern Methodist University"Harry Benshoff's expert dissection and historically informed analysis of the 1960s cult TV show Dark Shadows balances the ardor of a fan and the sharp insights of a seasoned scholar. A program that played daily to millions of viewers for five years was more than a fluke or oddity and Benshoff gives its popularity long overdue context and illumination. Benshoff deftly describes and applies key theoretical concepts for analysis of the show's many facets, yet the writing remains witty, accessible, and engaging throughout." —Rick Worland professor in the Division of Cinema-Television at Southern Methodist University and author of The Horror Film: An Introduction"Dark Shadows has everything: vampire Barnabas Collinwood as romantic but doomed hero; narrative complexity that almost beats Lost; counter-hegemonic family normativity; and tangled, hyperbolic actor/character relations. Harry Benshoff's intelligent and superbly informed account of this cult favorite teaches much about the gothic genre and the history of television. It is truly an enjoyable monograph." —Janet Staiger William P.

Abrams LOST Back to the Island
Book Synopsis A comprehensive and critical companion to the blockbuster TV show LOST, revisiting its core themes, lore, and impact on culture Before it premiered in the fall of 2004, LOST looked doomed to be an expensive, disastrous plane crash of a TV show. Instead, LOST was a massive hit, debuting with the biggest audience for a new drama on ABC in over a decade, reaching heights of over 23 million viewers at its peak, and holding on to a hefty fan-base for its entire six-season run.

Johns Hopkins University Press Fooling with the Amish
Book SynopsisUsing Amish Mafia as a window into the interplay between the real and the imagined, this book dissects the peculiar appeals and potential dangers of deception in reality TV and popular entertainment. When Amish Mafia was released in 2012, viewers were fascinated by the stories of this secret group of Amish and Mennonite enforcers who used threats, extortion, and violence to keep members of the Amish community in lineand to line their own pockets. While some of the stories were based loosely on actual events, the group itself was a complete fabrication. Its members were played by ex-Amish and ex-Mennonite young adults acting out scenarios concocted by the show's producers. What is most extraordinary about Amish Mafia is that, even though it was fictional, it was cleverly constructed to appear real. Discovery Channel, which aired it, assiduously maintained that it was real; whole episodes were devoted to proving that it was real; and many viewers (including smart reality TV fans) were Table of ContentsPrologue1.

Lexington Books Barry Jenkins and the Legacies of Slavery: The TV
Book SynopsisIn this book, Delphine Letort examines the plots and ploys that intermingle fiction and history in Barry Jenkins’ television adaptation of The Underground Railroad, allowing viewers to experience enslavement and flight through the eyes of the female protagonist, Cora. Letort demonstrates how the fusion of imaginary and real elements underlies a poetic visual and narrative style to guide viewers’ emotional and epistemological understanding of the past. She posits that another imagery of enslavement can be created—one that does not position the black woman at the margins of slavery cinema and history—as the mise-en-scène of the underground as a symbolic space representing the hidden and the repressed opens new fictional possibilities for imagining the intimate life of the enslaved. Ultimately, this book reveals how the serial format proves instrumental in transforming the gaze on the racial subject, using repetition and difference from one episode to the next to prompt new ways of seeing. Scholars of film and television studies, popular culture, history, and critical race theory will find this book of particular interest.Trade Review“Delphine Letort's Barry Jenkins and the Legacies of Slavery- The TV Series Adaptation of The Underground Railroad deploys a remarkably rich analysis which describes how American film and television obscurespast and present reality racism and sexism that the entertainment industry obscure by funding pollyannaishstories that avoid the dehumanizing fact of structural racism and male-centric narratives. Letort grasps thecorrelating aspects of visual, gender, and racial subjectivity and their systemic social history. Her bookprovides a meticulous analysis of Barry Jenkins’ television adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. Barry Jenkins and the Legacies of Slavery should be required reading for courses onAmerican media, history, critical race theory, and womanism.” -- Mark A. Reid, University of Florida“Not only does Delphine Letort offer a thoughtful analysis of this landmark series, but she also proposes a much-needed call for moral, ethical, and emotional approaches to TV studies. Her savvy ability to juggle close aesthetic and thematic analysis with the historical phenomena that underpin the fiction makes this book a valued text for those interested in television studies, cultural studies, African-American studies, or US History.” -- Shannon Wells-Lassagne, University of BurgundyTable of ContentsList of FiguresForeword: Michael T.

Lexington Books Sitcom Mom: The Evolution of a Classic Television
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes how situation comedies have provided cultural insight into both the good and the bad sides of American motherhood through the years. Judy Kutulas argues that while early sitcoms tended to reinforce conventional visions of motherhood, more complex and problematized mothers began rising to prominence as cultural norms continued to diversify.

Lexington Books Composing TV Drama
Book SynopsisIn this book, Marco Ianniello investigates the complex art of television drama screenwriting, arguing that the screenplay itself, rather than the final product, is at the heart of the current success of the genre. Bridging a crucial gap between theory and practice through textual analyses of various case studies, Ianniello expands on television story structure theory and screenwriting practice by foregrounding story construction and character development in the serial drama. The development of these key frameworks structure and character will enable both screenwriting scholars and practitioners to better identify, assess, critique, and craft the complexities of the television drama screenplay.

S&s/ Marysue Rucci Books Inside Bridgerton
Book SynopsisThe stunning, full-color, behind-the-scenes look at Shondaland's hit series on Netflix. Inside Bridgerton is the intimate behind-the-scenes story of the hit Shondaland series on Netflix. Shondaland executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers offer exclusive insights, and introduce you to the series writers, producers, directors, cast, crew, and talented creatives who brought Julia Quinn's beloved novels to the screen. Full-color and beautifully designed, Inside Bridgerton is the official book about the show, and includes never-before-seen photographs, firsthand accounts on casting, insight into the decisions behind the costumes and sets, directors' accounts on filming your favorite scenes, and more from the creative minds that launched a cultural phenomenon. From the Introduction to Inside Bridgerton: SHONDA: Shall we take everyone back to the beginning? Not to the 1800s, but to 2017 and that hotel room where I was sick, and needed something to read, and there happened to be a copy of The Duke & I by Julia Quinn, the first of the Bridgerton novels. I'm not someone who was into romance novels I really didn't even know much about the genre. But I picked it up, couldn't put it down, and then immediately got my hands on the rest of them because they were a fabulous read. And then I passed them to you. BETSY: I thought you might have hit your head in the hotel room when you had the flu. Romance novels? But you insisted that they would be a fabulous show and you have excellent taste. I was deeply skeptical because I hadn't read a romance novel since I was a teen I'd certainly never read a period romance novel. SHONDA: Totally you read the ones of the 1980s, when everyone wore huge shoulder pads and diamonds. BETSY: Right. So there's some continuity here because these guys were wearing diamonds, too. SHONDA: Fair but as far as a period romance, I mean, if it wasn't Jane Austen, I didn't really know about it. I'm not going to diss Jane Austen because I'm not an idiot... BETSY: She might get upset. SHONDA: She might roll over in her grave. But Julia Quinn's novels were just so much juicier than Austen, and they're written by someone who was far less confined and less proper. After all, Julia is a modern woman, not stuck in the constraints of the age. BETSY: Without a doubt. And I never knew that the ton existed: Austen wrote about a pastoral society where everyone is in relatively drab clothes and spent a lot of time in chapels and churches. SHONDA: Totally. And they recycled their dresses more. BETSY: Meanwhile, this was an amazing world of luxury and excess. And she had this crazy device of a gossip columnist, pulling the strings, which was such a cool concept. Julia Quinn created an entirely new, glamorous, bright world that you had actually never seen before.
