	Cult television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cult television, like cult figures, cult film and cult radio, attracts a band of aficionados or appreciators, known as a cult following, devoted to a specific television series or fictional universe.
		This interest and support by fans is seen by some as being similar to religions and cults, hence the term.
		This is the definition of choice of Cult TV [1], a group of appreciators who are also the owners of the Registered Trademark "Cult TV" in the UK.

	Cult following - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cult followings establish their own canons and cherish the notion of cult classics, which are individual items with cult followings.
		Cult classics are generally films that capture the imagination, defining a new world or reflecting events in society, and are often science fiction or horror films.
		Cult followings are usually generated through a film or television show having targeted a particular genre, typically fantasy, sci-fi, comedy or horror, but occasionally (though rarely) a romantic film or tv series will fall into a cult following.

	Cult
		A cult is also a religious group held together by a dominant, often charismatic individual, or by the worship of a divinity, an idol, or some other object.
		Cult followings are often dedicated enough that many of the people in them have at least heard of each other due to their meeting at conventions, concerts, internet chat rooms or shops featuring the item in question.
		A cult classic is a work of fiction, it can be a film or television show or book, that is extremely popular with a select audience.

		Unlike legitimate religious movements, cults are characterized by high levels of dependency, exploitation, and compliance with demands of leadership that are unrelated to religion.
		The term cult has a technical meaning in the sociology of religions, referring to a religious group with novel beliefs and with a high degree of tension with the surrounding society.
		In their defense, groups labeled as cults often see themselves as persecuted by the anti-cult movement, which (they claim) consists of a number of groups working together to suppress their religious beliefs.

	Cult television
		Cult television, like, cult figures, cult film and cult radio, attracts a band of aficionados devoted to a specific television program.
		Twin Peaks was a cult television series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and directed by Lynch, Frost, and others (Lynch invited various directors to guest-direct particular episodes).
		A television series is tagged with the label "cult" by the media, advertisers, and network executives when it is considered edgy or offbeat, when it appeals to nostalgia, or when it is considered emblematic of a particular subculture.

	Cult television
		As Cult television rightly insists, fans - as opposed to general audiences - are abnormally active in their relationships with their cherished TV shows.
		It's a shame that Cult television doesn't reflect the vigour of its objects/subjects of study.
		The method, as established in the introduction, of dividing the work into three areas (Cult, Fictions and Fans) appears to offer the possibility of a well-rounded, eclectic survey of the Cult TV phenomenon; one that would take into account the full range of institutional and audience determinants of the text.

		This cult teen exploitation film provides a veneer of social commentary as it follows a young English girl who follows in her wild young stepmother's footsteps and becomes a stripper.
		The cults are cheaper for theaters to hire than current releases and thus were more sensible to screen during late night when attendance was lower.
		Many significant cult films are independently made and were not expected by their creators to have much mainstream success.

		It has been suggested that “what distinguishes cult shows from more typical fare is that a relatively large percentage of the viewers are avid fans and these fans have relatively high visibility compared to the avid fans of other shows” (Reeves, Rogers and Epstein 1996: 27).
		Their attachment to a cult text is derived from a “love [of] such differences, for to [cultists] they suggest something unusual, noteworthy and valuable not just about the movies, but about their own character too” (1991:7).
		When compared to cult film, cult television is unique in that it dangles this carrot of novelty in front of us for a much longer journey.

		Cult television on both sides of the Atlantic has taken hold of the internet as a medium on which to talk about their favourite shows with like-minded people, discuss plot twists and turns and place information on what will happen in the future and suggestions for what should.
		Hundred-post topics on whether Sarah Michelle Gellar would sign for an eighth year, or whether the show would continue without her were filled with fans fervently reminding others that contract negotiations were still months away, and she could still change her mind.
		And of course groups discussing a television show are not far removed from men in a pub discussing football.

		So for the sake of this W3cultv forum, some of the basic criteria we'll employ for a cult television show would be non-mainstream subject matter, and or, a unique and visionary treatment and execution of more mainstream material.
		On those rare occasions when a ratings challenged but rabid cult television series explodes into the mainstream, like the "X-Files" or the original "Star Trek" its cult status needn't be stripped just because they caught lightning in a bottle during or after their original television run.
		We all get the gist of what a cult television show is, and this is our forum to discuss and explore these unique and special shows that mean so very much to us.

	Genre Stars Making a Big Splash At This Years Cult TV
		October has become somewhat of a regular month for activity on my calendar because I normally try to attend at least one event that celebrates television shows and the one event I seem to have attended the most is the Cult TV Festival.
		One thing that makes Cult TV so special is the mere fact that it does not try to be a Buffy Convention or a Star Trek Convention or even a Sci Fi Convention.
		The event covers sit coms, Cult Television Presenters as well as Sci Fi, basically it covers shows that in their time were ground breaking and bold enough to be different, unlike the soap operas and game shows which have always been a mainstay on Television.

	Sixties City - Bringing on back the good times
		A number of programmes originally produced in the Fifties were also still enjoying regular broadcasting, particularly westerns and historical action series which made a significant enough impression on my own viewing memories of the Sixties to be included here.
		The change in the quality and quantity of programmes produced was quite pronounced with the introduction of colour television, higher resolution transmission and the increasing tendency of the regional independent television companies to produce their own programmes.
		There is also a Pre-60s page on various programmes that were either made or first shown in the Fifties which were still popular and widely televised in the Sixties (in many cases still being shown today).
