ISBN-13: 978-1-84511-221-9, ISBN: 1-84511-221-0

"Apart from its brilliance as television, it's amazing what "Deadwood" gets away with. This acclaimed series from HBO, which premiered in 2004, is set in the teeming outlaw camp of 'Deadwood'. It has been described by "Variety" as 'a vulgar, gritty, at times downright nasty take on the Old West brimming with all the dark genius that series creator and sceenwriter extraordinaire David Milch has at his fingertips'. All this and more. The i ..."

Paperback, 296 Pages, Published 1994 by Wayne State University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8143-2506-3, ISBN: 0-8143-2506-8

"However, it isn't truly right for television, a medium that by nature deflates the dualism of the orthodox detective through its unorthodox normalization of shifts and slippage — and thus its normalization of the vicissitudes of the flesh.3 The popularity of Dale Cooper is a tacit admission that on a visceral level the television audience knows how wrong the traditional detective is in that medium. As we shall see, Dale Cooper made ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-60473-923-7, ISBN: 1-60473-923-1

"No recent television creator has generated more critical, scholarly, and popular discussion or acquired as devoted a cult following as Joss Whedon (b. 1964). No fewer than thirty books concerned with his work have now been published (a forthcoming volume even offers a book-length bibliography), and ten international conferences on his work have convened in the U.K., the United States, Australia, and Turkey. Fitting then that this first ..."

Michele Byers and David Lavery bring together enthusiastic and engaging ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7425-1681-6, ISBN: 0-7425-1681-4

"For every television series, the original vision grows within a press of forces-both social and artistic expectations, conventions of the business, as well as conventions of the art. Bad television predictable, commercial, exploitative simply yields to the forces. Good television, like the character of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, fights them. Fighting the Forces explores the struggle to create meaning in an impressive example of popular c ..."






Buffy Goes Dark

ISBN-13: 978-0-7864-3676-7, ISBN: 0-7864-3676-X

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer earned critical acclaim for its use of metaphor to explore the conflicts of growth, power, and transgression. Its groundbreaking stylistic and thematic devices, boldness and wit earned it an intensely devoted fan base-and as it approached its zenith, attention from media watchdog groups and the Federal Communications Commission. The grim and provocative evolution of the show over its final two seasons polarized ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8156-2717-3, ISBN: 0-8156-2717-3

"The "X Files" is as complex and controversial a phenomenon as the television series "Twin Peaks" was in the early 1990s. Mysterious and macabre episodes, led by fictional FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, captivate devotees week after week. Contributors to this volume examine the same intricate storylines that challenge viewers. Theoretically sophisticated, however, this book provides a forum for the creative process and a discussi ..."
