Do you still watch TV? There are some major shifts happenning in our culture as we speak, and one of them is a slow move away from traditional TV viewership. That doesn't mean that people don't still spend much too much time (so Drs tell me) watching TV. But it means that the way people watch TV is changing, and that, unlike 10 years ago, more (young) people are spending the majority of their free time browsing the internet - an activity severly cutting into TV viewership.
In any event, there are a lot of dollars being spent on generating ever more TV shows for you and I to watch, so someone must still be interested in this ancient medium.
In this assignment you'll spend time learning about the early days of TV, the development of the situation comedy, and the birth of the new juggernaut, reality TV. Buckle up and enjoy!
