Gordon,
 
Take a look at Bobby Allen's _Channels of Discourse_ (the second edition is
something like COD "Reassembled"). It provides a good overview of theoretical
approaches to TV criticism, and you could work a variety of different types of
programming in with it. Also, you might look at John Fiske's _Television
Culture_, which is an excellent introduction to cultural studies though written
for a more advanced readership than lower-level undergrads.
