Viewers have control of what becomes popular and help connect television to more traditional art through the reinforcement the broadcast system brings. When people start talking about their favorite shows or films they can describe it as an art and find it similar to more traditional forms of art.

Film and literature are becoming a forgotten type of media as people make way for American television which is now considered narrative art which overall limits viewership of films and literature.

By crossing the lines of fantasy and reality viewers are forced to look at media differently which creates a deeper story through something other than the conventional narrative American tv offers.

To bring more customers and to interest them boxes were typically designed to match the content of a series in hopes it would intrigue the viewer and convince them to purchase it. Boxes also were memorable for those who have already seen these shows.

The 1950s was a time for many technological changes and changed how television is seen today still leaving an impact today.

Tv series tend to have a more connected and longer story than films even though the episodes are short form due to the fact that the issues created with in the story can be prolonged. This makes the viewer more interested as they want a solution to the problem, but this can lead to a decrease in narrative progression.

In cinema events tend to be more fast paced than the segments that are broadcasted so a story can conclude quickly rather than going on through several episodes of a show.

The narrative in a way drives the story forward and generally requires a problem to be solved to avoid later consequences.

Narratives tell a story and bring segments of a series together through an overarching theme or issue within the series making the segments feel interconnected.

Narration has to follow certain guidelines to be considered proper narration and is very different when compared to the distinctions of fiction and non-fiction.

Even though we may not notice it there is a flow in everyone's life. People naturally start to fall into a pattern overtime similar how shows can blend seamlessly together and get us to sit there watching for hours.

Flow wasn't a method of success for television companies and became a way for companies to express there thoughts freely using a go with the flow desire. There was not a specific pattern or organization that the programs had to follow it was more freeform.

Flow was defined in many ways and became a way for people to ridicule televisions. Some people even viewed the way that broadcasting flowed as disorganized with ads disrupting the viewers experience. Flow wasn't smooth it was seen as a way to describe random meaningless content.

Programming has many unique interworking parts that can each be interpreted and looked at individually. By bringing all these individual parts together that is when we see the flow as it is meant to be naturally switching topics and keeps the viewer interested.

Watching television is accessible at any time of day and has become an important part of our everyday lives to the point where people plan to watch tv at certain times to get their daily fix of television.

Television can become addictive as we get used to the flow of the programs we might not even realize that something else completely is playing now. To keep people watching it is important for shows to have something to catch the attention of the viewer towards the beginning of the program.

The goal of television channels is to get people to watch the shows towards the beginning of the flow so they keep watching and get hooked.

It is unpredictable how viewers will react to the planned flow of broadcasting. The sequences are thought out so that the viewer doesn't lose interest but films sometime felt as if there was a disruption.

By bringing certain sequences together at specific points that is how you can successfully create the flow needed in a broadcast, allowing it to run smoothly.

Films and Tv can adapt to public opinion and changes the meaning of genre and categorization. Overtime genres can shift from one pattern to another leading to some of the greatest movies we have today.

Creating a unique film or show is hard especially when you are going for a specific genre, but are also trying to be unique or different. Some movies and shows today can feel exactly the same when they try to follow the same formula so in the end the "Hollywood narrative" becomes constricting.

When it comes to films and Tv each genre can change drastically based on the content shown within each category further changing and altering our perception of what the film is conveying to the viewer.

When it comes to different countries and cultures some genres can vary greatly and have a completely new meaning. So the question becomes how generalized can these genres be and how should we actually be categorizing them.

Genre theory can connect different works together through the categories they are put into.

Many actors had to leave their jobs because of their ties to left-wing ideas. This went on for a decade essentially ruining people's careers and upset many audiences as their favorite character was removed from their favorite shows causing other problems down the line.

Due to controversial topics and group opinions television networks had to now follow a television code so that everyone was happy with what was being shown on tv.

It seems people with a higher income didn't enjoy tv as much due to lower class individuals having access to it and saw it as more of a commodity. This seems like a form of classism in which higher class people view lower income individuals as different and caused prejudice.

How does income relate to what is shown on tv and what trends have we seen overtime due to this? Why did people believe that lower and middle class households didn't enjoy the same programs in the first place?

People started to blame television for problems in the home and assumed people would act differently. The expectations of a household were gonna be disrupted by television. They assumed kids would be up late, father's wouldn't go to work and that women wouldn't know how to take care of the family.

When people promote their radio shows they are in a way helping people gain freedom from the government that puts out their own radio to somewhat silence others.

In my opinion it seems that executives like the one from NBC have some worries about what might happen due to the issues other companies like Hollywood studios were experiencing.

Why did the Dumont network specifically suffer from the FCC 's decision? What exactly happened to cause the network to go out of business?

Women were encouraged to continue their way of life after the war, but women had gained a desire for more authoritative jobs.

Media started to depict men who were unable to return to their lives before the war.

Just the idea of being together in a shared space encouraged the idea of living rooms we have today.

In today's society people are more surprised to find out a person doesn't have a tv because of how normalized they have become.

Magazines promoted television sets as a necessity in family homes which may have lead people to believe the "perfect family" has to have a television set.

Television at the time was trying to manage both bringing people together bit also trying to keep people in their place.

Small details like the television being static add to the scene and remind me of how families can become distanced when tension arises.
