  Setting - The TV IV
For some shows the setting is so key to the premise it's right in the title of the show such as with Rome, Deadwood, Las Vegas, or Miami Vice.
In the case of science fiction shows set in the future, the change in time is often done to allow certain types of stories that are too controversial to portray in a more realistic setting such as the original Star Trek.
Many other shows set elsewhere are still filmed in New York or LA including the show Las Vegas which is filmed in LA. This can lead to unrealistic portrayals of the settings such as a much less dry Las Vegas.

 Television Without Pity » Shows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Turning a comic book in a television show is fraught with risks, since the ready-made audience can be hypercritical of any changes between their beloved printed version and what finally makes it to air.
Set in high school suburbia in 1981, this show was a critical success before it ever aired -- and deservedly so.
This show had plenty of tawdry reality, from Toni's bug eyes to Anthony's smarm, but in the end the multiple episodes per week and general viewer malaise contributed to the show's being put on Permanent Hiatus after only one season.

 Violence on TV: The Desensitizing Of America
Television is being blamed for children becoming violent in later life because it is an easy scapegoat.
Many jokes need a longer set up or explanation than is possible in a promo, contributing to the tendency for promos to feature a scene of comedic violence (or a sexual reference).
The ratings would be made by the producers and distributors of shows, and would be printed in newspaper TV listings so parents could use them as a guide for shielding their kids from rough stuff on the tube (Zoglin, "War" 1).

 Television watching
Watching television is an experience shared by the vast majority of children and adults.
Television can be enormously entertaining for children and can teach them some things, but too frequently it is used as a substitute for other activities.
Television often substitutes for physical exercise, which is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and is crucial to physical development.

The Fox drama The O.C. was fourth on the PTC's list of worst prime-time shows for families.
Add in That '70s Show and Arrested Development, and the network that tries to be hip for young viewers makes up 60 per cent of the list.
The group said it makes its determinations based on the amount of bad language and sexual and violent content, giving more weight to shows that appear earlier in the evening when children are likely to be awake, said Melissa Caldwell, its research director.

 CSI Miami: Season Two | PopMatters Television Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In her estimation, CSI Miami is not just a show about half-naked South Beach women or drug cartels, but about crime fighting via science.
In her commentary for "Blood Brothers," Donahue suggests that Miami is "at the crossroads of the United States and South America." Following in the tradition of Miami Vice, then, CSI: Miami uses its location to imagine crime through brown bodies, both the Latino drug dealer and gangster.
Television "highlights how social understandings of gender and race are influenced by historical conceptions as well as institutional discourses such as medicine or the nation-state and inscribed onto the female body" (Moorti, 11).

And it's not just shows that people recommend to me. She Spies, which I recently claimed to be the funniest, smartest show on television, languishes unwatched on my TiVo hard drive.
Television is basically a disposable medium, and it doesn't really mix well with an enormous to-do list.
I understand the occasional Television Appointment, where people make it clear that no one's allowed to call them during the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but having to clear up fourteen hours to get caught up on CSI: Miami is an entirely different kettle of fish.

 Show Information: Fame - The Musical: Music Theatre International - MTI - Musical Theatre Broadway Shows Available for ...
Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), “Fame—The Musical” is bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work.
His Fame on 42nd Street is a terrific stage adaptation that matches the challenges of the live medium, presenting a gallery of interesting, convincing characters, singing and dancing in a manner that soars the spirit and soothes the soul as well.
Although set in the intimate new Little Shubert, about half the size of the smaller Broadway musical venues, Fame has production values to burn, with a wonderful use of levels and textures in the mostly school building locations designed by Norbert U. Kolb.

The reality show -- which the title suggests will be tongue in cheek -- seems instead to be earnestly invested in the culture of celebrity.

It's that time of the year--when the broadcast networks start making their final decisions on which new shows to cancel, and which programs to bring back for a second season.
The show was dismissed by a lot of TV critics as an Indiana Jones knock-off, although that description would be a positive one in my eyes if it were accurate.
The show seems to be a much better fit with Alias than Dragnet, but even this timeslot would have been workable if ABC hadn't stuck the faltering drama The Practice in-between this show and itrs companion series Miracles.

While TV didn't begin in the Fifties, practically no one had a set before then, there were few shows, and people looked to radio and newspapers for entertainment and news.

By 1962 a million color sets had sold, by 1965, 5 million and the networks had gone to color, by 1970 there were 37 million color sets in the U.S. Among the first TV shows included about 120 Westerns.
