What were the narrative and stylistic tendencies of the 1990s sitcoms and how did they play with audience expectations?Elaborate with examples of any three shows. #tvhist18recitation2

The documentary style of shooting in The Office offers a kind of realism to the performance of the actors, which in Scrubs seems more scripted. #tvhist18

Research Question: I seek to analyze how gender stereotypes are both challenged and encouraged in Indian Television and Cinema through the profiling of the female and male characters as social climbers, through clothing and labor. #tvhist18recitation2

Roseanne Reboot got a rating of 7.1 on IMDB and Vulture put it at par in terms of audience appeal with shows like Game of Thrones. This shows that the contemporary debates on Trump within the American family are popular and well included in the show. #tvhist18recitation2

YouTube is a platform more for popularity than for monetary gain, though many youtubers have started putting up content that can be monetized. Though it can also be used for educational and social impact, specially for the youth, similar to guerrilla tv! #tvhist18

Text mentions, underground videomakers believed in waiting for the scene to happen and this technique led to low technical competence and the same is revealed in The Police Tapes in which the cameras focuses on another subject while someone else speaks.#tvhist18recitation2

How the representation of women in Indian Television and Indian Cinema is drastically different in terms of clothing, characterization and social positioning, but how at the same time they both stem from the same patriarchal base #tvhist18recitation2

Quality in terms of blocking of scenes and choreography of shots is clean and commendable, and in terms of narrative, the “comedy of errors” theme is mixed well with the strong, unapologetic, independent woman ideal in Mary’s character. #tvhist18

(2/2) However, while in the TV show the costume is a basic body suit with the american flag imprints, the film experiments more with the costume to make it more surreal and rooted in a external world of superpowers. #tvhist18recitation2

(1/2)Adaption of superheroes from TV to film has had many stylistic differences. Wonder Woman television series portrayed the character as a regular human being but with a twist in costume and a strong sense of power but still rooted in the regular world #tvhist18recitation2

The Black Journal highlights the achievements of blacks in various fields and provides a large spectrum, but the idea of "Objective Journalism" is still very ambiguous since attributional bias does exist in any form of human reporting. #tvhist18

(2/2) The 2004 campaign was clearly aiming at condensing the major events and the focus was on the text that appeared on screen. The 2016 campaign was a montage where primary focus was the voice over as it guided the audience about what should be expected #tvhist18recitation2

(1/2)The 1968 campaign was a series of poignant snapshots that was punctuated with a voice that tells the American people to vote for change. The emphasis is more on the stills and how these stills together tell a story of the war #tvhist18recitation2

The show provides scope for performance since the long take demands good timing in terms of both comedy and romance! #tvhist18

The Jim Henson exhibit proves that it's not just technology or broadcasting that influences the popularity of the television medium. Unconventional thinking and a personal creative approach can even make a puppet stir so much emotion.Brilliant storytelling! #tvhist18recitation2

The commentary backed by real footage of justice and violence alike is a kind of guided representation of news. It's strong, effective and provocative in communicating its message. #tvhist18

The introducing background music of Sit In is intense and daunting. Maybe a hint to the fact that news itself is daunting! #tvhist18

The montage shots and voice over technique effectively establishes the characters of the story who are to be affected by the news. It's almost like putting together pieces of reality to create a story. #tvhist18

The Twilight Zone has the dark, gripping and mysterious feel to it, that has performance as good as any film. High quality content for TV, despite it being a new medium back then. #tvhist18
