Thanks for this terrific post, Kyle. This is indeed an important question. What is the relationship between PBS and the CBC? Has PBS distributed Canadian programming in the past? Global flows fascinate me for what they reveal, particularly when flows ...
Thanks for the post, Kelli. I'm really glad you are focusing on this delightful couple (Sex on The Good Wife can be fun? Who knew?). One of the things I admire about classical Hollywood screwball comedies is their recognition of female desire (pa ...
Allison, thanks for the post. I appreciate your observation that the discourse of liberal bias within PBS has been shaped by a host of issues, including racial politics. I'm also excited to see an excerpt from this program. Spotlighting the produ ...
Josh, I love the idea that aesthetic awareness reflects a maturation for educational television. The seeming smallness of Oscar's change in color contextualized in a larger narrative of visual sophistication opens up quite a few avenues for conversa ...
What a treat to have you join our conversation, Jim. I could probably spend hours asking you about your work and the larger mission of public broadcasting to "inform, enrich, and entertain." Instead, I'll ask you about the persistence of ...

I love this post. Thanks for helping me learn more about a show I don't watch (but should be thinking about more, clearly). Do you think there is any conscious irony in the title of the show? As if there is a direct policing actively employed wit ...
Thanks for the post, John--I'm thrilled you are discussing the video game industry and hierarchies of power within the media industries. Ebert has brought a lot of attention to the debate about games as a narrative and visual art form, and I heartil ...
Thanks for starting off our week with some attention to the Grammys, Kyle. I'm intrigued by a number of observations you make here, including the ever-present tension between art and commercialism. More about that below. But I think I'm most ...
I appreciate your historical perspective because the Emmys are a constantly changing beast. You did research in the 19050s, and I've been accidentally researching in the 1970s, which was a big ol' mess due to a divorce between the New York and ...
