	The Johns Hopkins News-Letter - FOX's The Swan is one ugly duckling of a television show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Swan, an extreme makeover show that transforms self-declared average women miserable in their current lives into the epitome of today's beauty standards, had a whopping average of 9.2 million viewers per episode in its debut season last spring.
		Television makeovers are popular in their own right and were long before they comprised their own sub-genre of reality TV.
		Regardless, any redeeming value The Swan has in terms of empowering women, increasing their self-confidence and setting them up for a fresh start is completely lost with the final component of the show.

		The integrity of the program listings data is verified prior to transmission of the data to a cable or other pay television system (or prior to transmission to viewers).
		The television viewer simply tunes the cable converter box or television tuner to the channel on which the schedule information is modulated and views the program listings.
		Although many programs repeat on a daily basis, it is apparent that even one weeks' worth of program listings for the average cable system is a very large amount of data.

	Auguries of Decadence: American Television in the Age of Empire - Health - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Such programs, however, were the step-children of government, and since the Reagan era it had become a truism that governmental agencies were, by the very nature of their original sinfulness as public institutions, sluggish and incompetent in all their duties.
		They were particularly adept at highlighting instances of rank hypocrisy: profeminist politicians caught womanizing with their underlings, radical academics found to be squelching free speech on the campus green, and left-wing actors who touted the environment publicly only to degrade it with their private purchases.
		Given the downward spiral of programming standards, as accelerated by the bottomfishing Fox and quickly followed by its competitors, one could appreciate the challenge faced by those charged with reinventing Monty's original concept for today's increasingly jaded TV audience.

		Through images and television shows, they have twisted a message of loving your body for what it is by promoting plastic surgery as an answer to all your problems.
		From the use of corsets in order to narrow the waists of women in nineteenth-century America, to the binding of women's feet to stunt their growth in thirteenth-century China, nothing short of perfection has seemed to be acceptable.
		Such programs reflect society's acceptance of plastic surgery as a cure-all for everything from an unhealthy lifestyle to aging.

		These political priorities, program developments, new conditions in television, broader developments in Aboriginal communities, and more sophisticated political and administrative structures are part of a sea change in which the recognition of Aboriginal cultural, political and social rights to participation and autonomy is replacing older protectionist, paternalist and social disadvantage (therefore welfarist) agendas.
		Aboriginal television is not non-Aboriginal bricklayers building houses for Aboriginal people, it is non-Aborigines actively participating in the production and therefore definition of Aboriginal cultural artefacts as they are hired, in the 'interim', to direct, edit and write an 'Aboriginal' television program.
		But what is perhaps critical with regard to Aboriginal television initiatives is that there is not much Aboriginal television initiative outside this governmental axis, unlike the case of the commercial networks and their infotainment and on-going series programming in television, or the non-government supported ethnic press.

		The Commission seeks comments on actions it might take to streamline the program log reporting requirements for conventional television stations while ensuring that its regulatory objectives related to compliance and policy monitoring continue to be fulfilled and that no unreasonable burden results in the short term when weighed against improved effectiveness in the long term.
		Program logging is a key element in the regulation and supervision of the Canadian broadcasting system.
		The Commission is of the view that the current program log reporting requirements are still valid, particularly for television networks, television stations serving as the principal originating point of television networks, groups of stations, and television stations not affiliated to a network.

	JOHN LOGIE BAIRD INVENTOR OF TELEVISION
		In his first attempts to invent television, Baird experimented with the Nipkow disk and demonstrated that a semi-mechanical analogue television system was possible with the transmission of a static image of a ventriloquist's dummy in London in February 1924.
		The first true television system (with gradations of light and shade) was demonstrated to the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times on January 26, 1926 in the Soho district of London (at 22 Frith Street).
		Baird's television systems were therefore replaced by an electronic television system developed by EMI-Marconi under Isaac Shoenberg, similar to the system described by A.A. Campbell-Swinton, improved by Kalman Tihanyi in 1926, and initially developed by Vladimir Zworykin.

		Finally, on the point of wishing death, he hurls himself on the mercy of some passing Swans on a nearby lake, thinking to himself, it will be more merciful to be pecked to death and drowned by these elegant creatures than to endure a life of insults and ridicule.
		Part of the unveiling of the Swan, it seems, was to delve deeply into the many disappointing events that had characterized her life.
		Unfortunately for the human 'Swan,' deep in her genetic patterns she is still an ugly duckling, and if she found a suitable mate with her new illusionary looks, her offspring would still carry the genetic markers of ugliness (and poor character that leads to even more problems).

		At the entrance of the swans, with shaved heads, bare chests, and feathery pedal pushers, the ballet transcends the chic burlesque of the preceding scenes.
		But in the bold physicality of their dancing, with haunting images of swimming as well as flying in their eloquently expressive arms, they are unique, powerful creatures.
		The ballet climaxes with the corps of swans viciously destroying both the Swan and the Prince, leaving the Queen bereft.

		I personally liked parts of The Swan because it demonstrated how anything is possible (with the help of plastic surgery, exercising, dieting, and makeover of both body, mind, and style).
		She said in a recent interview that she got the inspiration for The Swan because she herself felt as the ugly duckling at a certain point in her life.
		At that low point of her life she said to herself, “I need a life coach, a personal fitness expert, a nutritionist, a face lift, etc.” Years later when reality TV became so popular, she decided to create The Swan capturing some of the thoughts that she had.

	The Lantern - 'Swan' ugliest reality show yet
		With reality TV shows still strangling our television sets it seems no matter what channel I flip to there is a person wanting a nip here, a tuck there, and in some cases enough plastic in their body to moonlight as a beach ball.
		Tonight is the inaugural episode of "The Swan"- Fox's new reality show that aims to take 17, self-described less- than-attractive "ugly ducklings" and turn them into beautiful "swans" through surgery, diet, therapy and image depravation - a fancy way of saying there won't be any mirrors around to see how the scars look.
		Television shows such as "The Swan" and "I Want a Famous Face" inadvertently teach people that it is acceptable to change their body so others will be more happy with the way they look.
