Renzoku Ren'ai Dorama Japanese television dramas, concentrating on renzoku (continuing) ren'ai (romantic) dorama, are examined and compared to US television shows. Although I don't know the history of Japanese television well, it seems that TBS was perhaps the strongest private network for dramas in the early and mid-eighties. This is thanks to the many Japanese video stores that exist in major cities that rent out tapes of Japanese television shows, at typically $1 per tape, which contains two hours of programming (so two episodes for dorama). www.halfaya.org /dorama/renzoku.html   (7965 words)

Zap2it - TV features - 'Boomtown' Viewers Should Take Nothing at Face Value One final note: While many critics, and NBC itself, have compared the style of "Boomtown" to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon," which views a violent crime from multiple perspectives, Yost insists that the 1950 cinematic milestone is not a direct influence on his series. That concept beats at the heart of his "Boomtown," the gripping new NBC drama series Yost has crafted with director Jon Avnet ("Uprising"). McDonough, who plays her married lover, concurs that Yost's characters are unusually multilayered for a television series. tv.zap2it.com /tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,27478242110,00.html   (930 words)

Fuji Television was able to perform this feat because we are both Japan’s leading television network and the largest film-production studio. www.worldscreen.com /print.php?filename=0404kameyama   (930 words)
