- Description
- Using popular culture as a fertile environment for challenging the stereotype that the most brilliant geeks or nerds must be men, the essays in this book argue how the popular media repeatedly affirm stereotypes of femininity while paradoxically challenging the stigmatization of smart women. Contributors salute a wide range of popular characters and real female role models, from Daria to Hillary Rodham Clinton, weaving in references to television shows like Gilmore Girls and analyses of classic icons like Sabrina.

- Description
- Analysis of the role of commercial television in the sexual culture of the 1970s in the US. Levine explores sex-themed made-for-TV movies: female sex symbols such as the stars of Charlie’s Angels and Wonder Woman: the humor of variety shows (The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, Laugh-In), sitcoms (M*A*S*H, Three’s Company) and game shows (Match Game): and the proliferation of rape plots in daytime soap operas. She also describes the sexual topics that were barred from the airwaves. Along with program content, Levine describes the economic motivations of the television industry, the television production process, regulation by the government and the tv industry, and audience responses.

- Description
- The sexual politics of television culture is the territory covered by this book which demonstrates the ways in which third wave feminist television studies approaches and illuminates mainstream TV. Leading voices in third wave feminism focus on innovative US television shows, including The Sopranos, Oz, Six Feet Under, The L Word and the reality-TV show The Bachelor to take a closer look at the contradictions and reciprocities between feminism and television, engaging as they go in theoretical and critical conversations about media culture, third wave feminism, feminist spectatorship, the sex wars, and the politics of visual pleasure.

- Description
- Examination of contemporary makeover shows, such as Extreme Makeover, The Swan, Faking It, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and The Apprentice. The authors argue that contemporary makeover programming provides the paradigmatic example of reality television's far-reaching prominence and mass appeal, an appeal that lies in 'powers of transformation' or televisual performance that tries not only to capture reality but to intervene in it, with the ultimate aim of remodelling reality.
