Download or read book MeTV written by J P Ames and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groovin' with the Classics: Weigel Broadcasting, MeTV, and the Genius of Neal Sabin in Reviving Television's Golden Era Hark back to a time of campy superheroes, whimsical family comedies, gritty detective tales, and bold space adventures. Welcome to the classic television era of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Thanks to the visionary endeavors of Weigel Broadcasting, MeTV, and the unparalleled foresight of Chairman Neal Sabin, today's audiences can bask in this nostalgic television glow. The Golden Days: A Brief Overview The 1960s to 1980s was an explosive period for TV. Color televisions became commonplace, replacing the monochromatic screens. The narrative evolved with series that spanned across genres: 1960s: "Star Trek" beckoned us to explore strange new worlds. "The Flintstones" made us laugh in a Stone Age setting, while "Batman" introduced us to campy superhero drama. 1970s: Shows like "All in the Family" and "MAS*H" tackled socio-political issues of the day, blending humor with deep, thought-provoking narratives. 1980s: "The A-Team," "Knight Rider," and "Cheers" became household names, representing a diverse television landscape that catered to all tastes. Rebirth through Retro: Weigel Broadcasting's Brainchild While these shows were beloved, over time, many vanished into obscurity. Enter Weigel Broadcasting, a media house with an innovative idea-why not create a platform to celebrate these classics? Their brainchild, MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television), emerged as a beacon for classic TV enthusiasts. Today, MeTV has become synonymous with retro television entertainment1. Neal Sabin: The Visionary behind the Vintage Revival Neal Sabin deserves a standing ovation. As the Chairman of Weigel Broadcasting, his passion and intuition recognized the magic these old series held. He once remarked, "There's a comfort level with these shows. They're like the comfort food of television." His insight was simple yet profound: modern viewers, whether reliving their past or discovering these shows for the first time, have an appetite for content that resonates on a human level, unhindered by the complexities of today's digital age.

Download or read book How to Watch Television, Second Edition written by Ethan Thompson and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition that brings the ways we watch and think about television up to the present We all have opinions about the television shows we watch, but television criticism is about much more than simply evaluating the merits of a particular show and deeming it “good” or “bad.” Rather, criticism uses the close examination of a television program to explore that program’s cultural significance, creative strategies, and its place in a broader social context. How to Watch Television, Second Edition brings together forty original essays—more than half of which are new to this edition—from today’s leading scholars on television culture, who write about the programs they care (and think) the most about. Each essay focuses on a single television show, demonstrating one way to read the program and, through it, our media culture. From fashioning blackness in Empire to representation in Orange is the New Black and from the role of the reboot in Gilmore Girls to the function of changing political atmospheres in Roseanne, these essays model how to practice media criticism in accessible language, providing critical insights through analysis—suggesting a way of looking at TV that students and interested viewers might emulate. The contributors discuss a wide range of television programs past and present, covering many formats and genres, spanning fiction and non-fiction, broadcast, streaming, and cable. Addressing shows from TV’s earliest days to contemporary online transformations of the medium, How to Watch Television, Second Edition is designed to engender classroom discussion among television critics of all backgrounds. To access additional essays from the first edition, visit the full list here bit.ly/HowToWatchTV2e.
