Television has become a central factor in the image America
makes of itself, different in many respects from film. TV
has had, of course, a history shorter than movies, less time
to develop, so is at once less sure of itself and more raw.
This course will discuss some of the following: news,
sports and public events; technology and effectiveness; the
commercial; TV narrative: fact, fiction, series; sitcom,
variety, miniseries; television, movies and aesthetics;
problems: PBS, talking heads, infomercials, evangelism.
