i love how sarcastic and cynical this "cultural history of broadcasting in the united states" book is...
"For instance, one popular way of explaining the domestic sitcoms of the 1950s and 1960s is that they simply reflected the reality of people's lives during that conservative, family-oriented, rather dull period of history."
"The mere possiblity of anything or anyone not heterosexual was NEVER alluded to, and though Mom or Daughter might occasionally get restive about their preordained domestic fate, they always got over it in humorous manner that reinforced the rightness of 'traditional' ways."
"Not only were all the families affluent and mysteriously nonethnic, so was everyone else in their neighborhood and social circle."
and
this is the week of student organizations hopping.
