This title provides a unique approach to the study of
television.This overview of television criticism comes
appropriately at a moment of change. Television is becoming
dramatically different as a result of new and developing
technologies such as cable, HDTV, satellite transmission and
broadband distributions. By concentrating on the still-dominant
notion of television, what the authors call "Classical Network
Television," they argue that it is as important to understand this
model as it is to understand Classical Hollywood Cinema.The
co-authors have a unique approach to the study of television,
viewing its history and reception not only through important
articles about the medium, but also through analyzing how Hollywood
auteur cinema has commented on television over the decades, in
films such as "Tootsie", "Network", "The Last Picture Show", "A
Face in the Crowd", "Rollerball", "The King of Comedy" and others.
Not only does this reflect the pervasive use of cinema theory to
discuss television, it also helps to emphasize the importance of
clarifying the distinctions between the criticisms of the two
media." The Question of Television" argues that the study of
television is a crucial aspect of understanding our recent and
contemporary culture, and it provides an illuminating point of
entry for students and researchers in the field.
