Every episode produces a conflict that one or possibly all the characters have to face. It is presented to us through the result of the conflict. Even if the result of the conflict is not ideal for the characters, each of them are there to support them for the long haul. The program successfully connects with the audience, that is proven by the fact that the series ran for nine seasons with great success. As a committed fan and a former reliable viewer of the show I can claim that is connect with me. It taught me multiple life lessons along with adding tons of the laughs. One who doesn’t believe that they need friends would state that they have themselves, and “they don’t need nobody else”. We all know a person who has said that very quote word for word before. That quote is where the definition of selfish stems from. Without friends, where would one be in life? I can tell you where I would be jobless, lonely and unconcerned.

    I personally think the show “The Beverly Hillbillies” are in a way exploiting white stereotypes. They are showcasing a family from the country moving into a lavish educated society. The show plays on the perception of white trash society, such as rednecks or hillbillies. Although the show is done for comedy purposes, it does capitalize on stereotypes within society. In the book Dean mentions, “Even critics who enjoy the show do so from a crouched defensive posture” which is regarding to another popularized hillbilly show, Honey Boo Boo, but showcases the feelings audiences may be feeling.…

The tattering of the authority figure finds its expression in the novel largely through an absent or vulnerable father, either physically or spiritually - sometimes both. In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden’s father is often an absentee.…

    Freaks And Geeks Analysis

    • 7 Pages

    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.…

    Analysis Of I Love Lucy

    • 812 Words
    • 4 Pages

    With a timeless ability to charm and limitless reach over the population, I Love Lucy retains America’s infatuation in its entertainment value and cultural critique even extending half a century later. With the show’s 1950s setting and outward adherence to some of the patriarchal ideology, contemporary perspectives reveal the unalienable legitimacy to the accusations of it reinforcing patriarchal norms and being degrading to women, although it did encourage bicultural living. But as this is a sitcom and sitcoms aren’t made to recreate our current society, but to fabricate a reality the audience can fall in love with, it carries greater potential to instead view I Love Lucy as a conveyance for Lucille “Lucy” Ball to challenge the post war, prefeminism…
