This book brings together the most important writing on television published in "Quarterly Review of Film and Video", from essays by Nick Browne and Beverley Houston to cutting-edge historical and critical research. It considers television's economics, technologies, forms, and audiences from a cultural perspective that links history, theory, and criticism. The authors are leaders in the field, and they address several key issues: the formative period in American television history; the relation between television's political economy and its cultural forms - gender and melodrama; and new technologies such as video games and camcorders. With this breadth of coverage, the book will bring basic and defining scholarship to the field of television studies.
