Compare And Contrast 30 Rock And Studio 60

Show More
The two-television series that we viewed, 30 Rock and Studio 60, are very similar in terms of their theme and plot. Both shows revolved around the behind the scene production of Saturday Night Live sketches. These two shows aired on NBC, however it would not make sense to have two TV shows airing on the same topic that’s why one was more successful than the other. Studio 60 only lasted one season, where as 30 rock went on for 7 seasons. The pilot premiere for studio 60 was actually higher then 30 rock however the ratings kept declining until the season finally. 30 rock rating were not the best however they were more consistent and never took huge drops like studio 60. In general, both TV shows struggled getting views as they aired during primetime

    Steven Johnson Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    Rhetorically Analyzing a Controversial Matter Parents are often telling their children to “turn off the TV and go outside” due to the belief that TV does nothing to stimulate growth and development. Society agrees with the views of the common parent; television sedates the mind rather than engages it. Steven Johnson, a credited author, challenges this controversial topic, arguing that more complex TV shows actually require intellectual labour. However, the successfulness of Johnson’s argument can be rhetorically analyzed through his target audience and his use of mode, style, tone, and the three rhetorical appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos.…

    Hollywood eventually lost control of their contracted stars as they began making their way into television programs and vice versa.

    Compare And Contrast Pirate Radio And Love Actually

    The films Love Actually (2003) and Pirate Radio (2009) are both directed by Richard Curtis. Although both films are directed by Curtis, there are many differences between the two films that distinguish themselves from one another, such as directional style, the time period, and the plot. Love Actually follows the lives of eight couples during Christmastime in London, showing the audience that love can “actually” be found anywhere. Pirate Radio concentrates on a group of rock-n-roll DJs who defy Britain’s government and its ban on rock-n-roll music by playing rock-n-roll music on a ship outside of the British jurisdiction in the North Sea. Despite the drastic difference in their plots, both Love Actually and Pirate Radio do have similarities,…

    Comparing La La Land And The Greatest Showman

    At their core, the mere concept of musical films is utter genius; seamlessly combining cinema and song, two of the most formidable, emotionally stirring art forms, is a recipe with colossal creative potential. From the inception of musical film with the Alan Crosland directed 1927 motion picture “The Jazz Singer”, to modern box office triumphs such as 2016’s “La La Land”, and 2017’s “The Greatest Showman”, the genre has resonated phenomenally with its audience -- seldom fading out of fashion’s spotlight, consistently producing waves of extravagant displays of story, song, and dance. Regardless of the countless advantages they may hold, similarly to any other high profile genre of art, the musical’s fame and fortune has regrettably spawned numerous…

    Cosby Show Culture

    Imagine a world where diversity was not relevant. Where white and black people were treated the same. However, that was not the case, the 50s displayed white people much more than black people on TV, but as change within the American Culture occurred from the 50s to the 80s, black people were seen more on TV. Two sitcom comedies; The Cosby Show(1980s), and Father Knows Best (FKB, 1950s) can be compared by connecting each of them to the era in which they aired. As the 1950s sitcom Father Knows Best illustrates a very scripted family lifestyle, the 1980s sitcom The Cosby Show portrays a realistic family, which both demonstrate the culture though their time periods.…

    Comparing American Graffiti And Superbad

    Both American Graffiti and Superbad highlight the character’s view of the adult world as being something to fear by including adult characters who can’t let go of their adolescence. In American Graffiti, John is older than his high school friends. He is “the king of the town” and the best drag racer. Throughout the film, he seems to be on the brink of letting go of his reckless adolescent past but never seems to reach this conclusion. One example is when Falfa (Harrison Ford) is racing him and runs a red light while John stops.…

    Freaks And Geeks Analysis

    The critically acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks is a shining example of a TV show that ended far too early. Freaks and Geeks was a show that captured the awkwardness of adolescence, as opposed to the romanticized and nostalgic view typically portrayed on TV. Shortly after Freaks and Geeks ended, a spiritual successor arose in the form of the show Undeclared, created by Judd Apatow, a producer of Freaks and Geeks. Where Freaks and Geeks was more drama than comedy, Undeclared was a lighthearted show that explored the college experience. Although Undeclared presents plots typical to the college experience, due to the lighthearted tone of the show, aspects of typical college life are presented too simplistically.…

    The American Family Analysis

    Sitcoms are a window into the mindset of mainstream America as they move from a very idealistic portrayal of society to a more realistic one, highlighting how American society is becoming more accepting of difference. Sitcoms are the comedic, thirty minute television shows in which the episodes can be viewed alone and still be understood, as long as one has the basic background of the main characters. This formulation was an instant success with the introduction of I Love Lucy in 1951. Sitcoms of the far past, and the ones of today are quite representative of the time periods that they take place in, yet they do still emphasize an idealistic version of society, especially the early ones. Sitcoms such as I Love Lucy and Growing Pains demonstrate…

    Comically Crude The line drawn between comedy and vulgar references have become blurred in today's society. A comedian may make a joke which offends a great body of people all for the purpose of making a few laugh. Famous comedians make a living off of exploiting both groups, and individual peoples, with derogatory comments in order to make large masses of money. In the past, comedians would cross social lines and force society forward using both obscene language and seemingly deranged or lewd topics.…
