Popular Film and Television Comedy
Steve Neale and Frank Krutnik take as their starting point the remarkable diversity of comedy's forms and modes - feature-length narratives, sketches and shorts, sit-com and variety, slapstick and romance.Relating this diversity to the variety of comedy's basic conventions - from happy endings to the presence of gags and the involvement of humour and laughter - they seek both to explain the nature of these forms and conventions and to relate them to their institutional contexts.They propose that all forms and modes of the comic involve deviations from aesthetic and cultural conventions and norms, and, to demonstrate this, they discuss a wide range of programmes and films, from Blackadder to Bringing up Baby, from City Limits to Blind Date, from the Roadrunner cartoons to Bless this House and The Two Ronnies.Comedies looked at in particular detail include: the classic slapstick films of Keaton, Lloyd, and Chaplin; Hollywood's 'screwball' comedies of the 1930s and 1940s; Monty Python, Hancock, and Steptoe and Son.The authors also relate their discussion to radio comedy.

Look for terms like "ATSC tuner" or "QAM tuner" in the user manual or on the manufacturer's website. These tuners are necessary for receiving digital cable signals. If your TV does not have these tuners, you may need to purchase a separate set-top box or digital converter to access digital cable channels.

Love Wars : Television Romantic Comedy
This is the first dedicated overview of the international television romantic comedy genre, Mary Irwin builds on the critical work on cinematic romantic comedy to offer a dedicated critical analysis of the romantic comedy on the small screen. Drawing on series from the 1960s to the present day, Irwin presents five themed chapters around the theme of romantic love, from searching for it and finding it to the love wars of the book’s title to finding love later in life and in places you didn’t expect.Chapters explore the genre’s key recurrent themes: evolving attitudes to love, relationships, sex, class and money, feminism and post-feminism, changes in the nuclear family (dramatised through contrasting romantic relationships) and shifting discourses of masculinity, situating them within the specific socio-historic and cultural context in which the series are set. Throughout, Irwin underscores the centrality of women, their friendships and their personal and professional lives and experiences to the television romantic comedy genre, demonstrating that it is prominence of female characters and their interests and concerns which have most significantly affected the genre’s thematic focus. Crucially, this thematic approach allows for explorations both of similarities in representations to be found in series decades apart and the way in which such representations ebb and flow across time. Additionally, the international nature of the comedies selected also makes possible comparison beyond national boundaries.

The New Brazilian Mediascape : Television Production in the Digital Streaming Age
How new media is ushering in a more diverse Brazilian national identityIn this book, Eli Carter explores the ways in which the movement away from historically popular telenovelas toward new television and internet series is creating dramatic shifts in how Brazil imagines itself as a nation, especially within the context of an increasingly connected global mediascape.For more than half a century, South America’s largest over-the-air network, TV Globo, produced long-form melodramatic serials that cultivated the notion of the urban, upper-middle-class white Brazilian.Carter looks at how the expansion of internet access, the popularity of web series, the rise of independent production companies, and new legislation not only challenged TV Globo’s market domination but also began to change the face of Brazil’s growing audiovisual landscape.Combining sociohistorical, economic, and legal contextualization with close readings of audiovisual productions, Carter argues that a fragmented media has opened the door to new voices and narratives that represent a more diverse Brazilian identity. A volume in the series Reframing Media, Technology, and Culture in Latin/o America, edited by Héctor Fernández L’Hoeste and Juan Carlos Rodríguez.
