Product Description

Review


"Television: The Critical View. . . stands as a monument to and history of the growth and acceptance of television criticism in American culture. . . . The seventh edition continues to offer readings from a variety of approaches while also acknowledging the growing international nature of television criticism."--Judith E. Smith, St. Norbert College


"The essays establish the current state of the academic discourse in television criticism and the most important developments in the discipline. Newcomb's approach brings together the best scholarship, writing, and overall clarity to the comprehensive field of television criticism."--Elliot Gaines, Wright State University


"The book draws upon diverse disciplines within the humanities, reflecting the real interdisciplinary origins of media studies."--Shelly McGinnis, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill


"This volume has served as the centerpiece of television studies for years, with its essays defining the scope and depth of the field, and framed many pedagogical strategies through its selection of essays."--Jason Mittell, Middlebury College

Television is NOT mindless entertainment! 28 Feb 2001
By Joshua Minton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was assigned this book in a college course on television as popular culture. I seriously struggled with the text at first, but luckily I didn't sell it back. After rereading it again, it has completely smashed the myth that nothing on television is culturally viable. Do not fall into the trap of believing there is no culture left in America. This book will teach how to engage your television in a way that is as mentally stimulating as anything I can imagine. Do yourself a favor and get this book! It might take you a couple reads, but it's well worth it. Enjoy. (I took points off for density, but I have the 5th ed.)
