	TV no prime time for real families (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Television series paint an unrealistic picture of American families by showing far more single-parent households than exist in society, according to a new study.
		In prime-time TV series, 47 percent of fictional families are headed by married parents, compared to 72 percent of real families, according to the Parents Television Council study.
		Farrell claims her dismissal from Becker is unrelated to her not showing up — along with the other supporting players — when work on the series' fourth season began last summer over a contract dispute.

		The District Court declined to dismiss the breach of contract claim, ruling that a significant factual dispute exists as to the scope of the Freeze.
		Moreover, the claim that a TV series of hour-long episodes, because of its allegedly poor quality, will impair the market for the sequel to a movie shown in theaters seems especially strained when the youthful age group of the likely audience is considered.
		Of course, if Marvel were representing that its TV series had been produced by Fox, thereby promoting the series on the basis of the goodwill associated with the mark "Fox," Fox would be able to claim false designation of origin.

	Heckenkamp v (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		KTTV chose to proceed with the telecasting of Ziv's and Daniels' television series, and is now telecasting said series, and KTTV thereby became an active and continuing participant with said defendants Ziv and Daniels in their scheme and conspiracy to misappropriate plaintiff's property and to use it to his detriment.
		The prayer is for compensatory and punitive damages, and [157 Cal.App.2d 298] for an accounting; and to enjoin Ziv and Daniels from producing, distributing and exploiting the Highway Patrol television series; and to enjoin KTTV from telecasting the series; and to enjoin Barker Bros. and General Electric from advertising in conjunction with telecasting the series.
		Ziv, Daniels and KTTV demurred to the complaint upon the grounds that neither of the alleged causes of action stated facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and that both of the alleged causes of action were uncertain, ambiguous and unintelligible.

	Murray v. National Broadcasting Co., 844 F2d. 988 (2nd Cir. 1988)
		In view of the foregoing, the district court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the various claims presented in the complaint, concluding that the lack of novelty in plaintiff's proposal was fatal to any cause of action for unauthorized use of that idea.
		Initially, there is the admission by NBC, in its agreement with Carsey-Werner, that the television series is "unique, intellectual property." Although NBC argues, and the majority agrees, that this clause refers to a "fully-produced television series", and not Murray's program idea, such analysis ignores two important facts.
		As fashion, advertising, and television and radio production can attest, what is novel today may not have been novel 15 years ago, and what is commonplace today may well be novel 15 years hence.

	CBC Television Series 1952 to 1982, Thi-Thu
		While the CBC had long provided public affairs coverage for Canadian television viewers, it is clear that the ambition and international scope that underscored the Seven Days project indicated that the network intended to produce world-class television.
		Television news was also building importance for its coverage of such developments as the elections that made John Diefenbaker and Lester Pearson our first TV-era heads of government.
		Television news offered a vantage and shaped public views of such developments as the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, as well as such international developments as the Cuban missile crisis and other elements of the Cold War, the civil rights movement in the U.S.A., and the Vietnam War.

	CASTLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT, INC. v. CAROL PUBLISHING GROUP, 150 F.3d 132 (2nd Cir. 1998) (LOISLAW)
		Golub freely admitted that she created The SAT by taking notes from Seinfeld programs at the time they were aired on television and subsequently reviewing videotapes of several of the episodes that she or her friends recorded.
		Since the fact of copying is acknowledged and undisputed, the critical question for decision is whether the copying was unlawful or improper in that it took a sufficient amount of protected expression from Seinfeld as evidenced by its substantial similarity to such expression.
		Castle Rock dismisses these arguments as post hoc rationalizations, claiming that had defendants been half as creative in creating The SAT as were their lawyers in crafting these arguments about transformation, defendants might have a colorable fair use claim.

	CBC Television Series 1952 to 1982, S - Ses
		One of the most brilliantly self-aware comedy series on television since the innovations of Ernie Kovacs, SCTV evolved from the stage work of the Toronto company of Second City, and followed the lead of NBC's Saturday Night Live, which had attracted talent, such as Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, from the Canadian Second City troupe.
		When the series moved from Global to the national network, the transposition was written into the script as Caballero had to seek the help of the CBC in creating new program ideas.
		The series, about a young and idealistic lawyer who wins the seat vacated at the death of his father, was so well received that the CBC continued it the next year as a series on its own, Quentin Durgens, M.P. (q.v.).

	Jack Myers Media Village: Fall Preview 2005/2006
		Series creator Shaun Cassidy has delivered many intriguing and eccentric drama pilots in the past (including American Gothic and Roar), but even when his genre projects have captured the attention of critics they have failed with viewers.
		The fast dismissal of "Surface," which had been introduced to advertisers at NBC's upfront presentation in May as "Fathom," was certainly justified, especially after a press conference with series creators Josh and Jonas Pate.
		The Pate brothers asserted that their series would stand out from the other new shows about creatures that appear to be aliens rising out of the ocean and menacing mankind ("Invasion" on ABC and "Threshold" on CBS) by proving itself family-friendly and inspiring a sense of awe and wonderment among young viewers.

	Jack Myers Media Village: NBC Fall Preview
		After careful consideration of its new series, most of which failed to excite critics and journalists gathered at the tour, and continued study of its returning series, most of them aging and on the decline, it didn't appear that NBC had a promising few months ahead of it.
		But there was no evidence of their grand aspirations in the pilot, or even an understanding of what a television series should be.
		Lastly, NBC also has a new series from television's reigning super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but this one could be a skip on his largely spotless record.

		In the cult television series The Apprentice, global entrepreneur Donald Trump doesn’t so much sack people as publicly flay them.
		Sackings happen every minute of every day, and handling a dismissal in the best way for all concerned is one of the most difficult yet one of the most crucial skills any manager has to learn.
		Many people are dismissed not because of some gross misdemeanour, but simply because they’re not up to the job or because the company and its culture have moved on and they haven’t.

		A little honest reflection about this situation suggests that the real culprit here is the inadequate and inappropriate education of the special education teachers, most of whom are not competent or confident themselves in using Braille and who also believe that their students should not be expected to compete successfully in school or in life.
		We of the National Federation of the Blind know just how damning and demeaning such a wholesale dismissal of blind students really is. There are too many studies of children's conforming exactly to their teachers' expectations for us to observe this phenomenon with unconcern.
		Recognition of what is happening to today's blind students fuels the Federation's state-by-state effort to require teacher competence in Braille reading and writing for those educators devoting their careers to teaching blind and visually impaired students.
