Popular Culture and Everyday Life is the new space for critical books in cultural studies. The series innovates by stressing multiple theoretical, political, and methodological approaches to commodity culture and lived experience, borrowing from sociological, anthropological, and textual disciplines. Each volume develops a critical understanding of a key topic in the area through a combination of a thorough literature review, original research, and a student-reader orientation.
For more than fifty years some very funny people have been entering American homes through television’s big picture window. From Lucy and Uncle Miltie, to Archie Bunker and Marge Simpson, certain comic stars of television history have become not just cultural icons, but friends of the family. This comprehensive study of the most successful television comedies – including domestic sitcoms, workplace comedies, variety shows, late-night comedy, animated comedy, and more – reveals that, unlike the comedy found in film, on stage, in comedy clubs and concert halls, television’s presentation of comic characters and stories must negotiate a relationship with the more privatized and value-laden environment of each American home that it enters.
