shows that aren’t mentioned in the faculty lounge, this is the conference

intersection of television and popular culture are welcome in areas such as
the following:

--New channels, new genres (e.g. Sopranos, Trading Spaces)
--Innovations in serial narrative (e.g. 24, Boomtown)
--Influx of “reality” TV: ESPN even has one now…
--Nostalgia for old values expressed in new shows
--Reinscription or reversal of gender roles: (e.g. Buffy, CSI)
--Ideology represented in dramas (e.g. The West Wing)
--Economics of commercials: Sprint cellular and popular culture
--Ethics and anatomy of news media: channels as 24-hour news sources
--Rerun extravaganza
--Any other intersections of television and popular culture
