To deal with the barrage of messages from television's chaotic history, Marc adapts tools of theatrical and literary criticism to focus on key personalities and genres in ways that reward serious students and casual viewers alike.This updated edition includes a new foreword by Horace Newcomb and a new introduction by the author that discusses the ways in which the nature of television criticism has changed since the book's original publication in 1984. A new final chapter explores the paradox of the diminishing importance of over-the-air broadcasting during the period of television's greatest expansion, which has been brought about by complex technologies such as cable, videocassette recorders, and online services. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTelevision programs$zUnited States 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xHistory. 615 0$aTelevision programs 615 0$aPopular culture 676 $a302.2/345/0973 700 $aMarc$b David$0920742 701 $aNewcomb$b Horace$0495494 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457411803321 996 $aDemographic vistas$92451250 997 $aUNINA
