Television's Moment: Sitcom Audiences and the Sixties Cultural Revolution - Hardcover

" - there is a rich mine of information and ideas contained in this book - [It] offers a fascinating insight into a particular moment in television history, an era when public service and the networks dominated - what I truly valued was the story of a travelling narrative, from the UK to West Germany via the US." * Janet McCabe, University of London " - A very interesting analysis of how sitcoms negotiated the 'culture wars,' paying particular attention to discussions of gender, race, and sexuality. Particularly effective here is the ability to set the text - the sitcom - into the larger context of politics, culture, and society in the three national cases the author compares - The book makes an important methodological contribution - it will make a splash with historians - and students of film and media studies." * Robert Moeller, University of California, Irvine
