The Larry Sanders Show
Choose one of these screenings, write a 2 pages textual analysis Blog. Your analysis is not merely a reflection or description, nor is it a review, but an interpretation of the text of the TV show. This interpretation should be entirely original and represent your own interpretation of the show.Think of these entries as the equivalent of academic blog posts, or short critical pieces for an elite popular press outlet or scholarly journal. Remember, these are critiques and not recaps! (For some examples of this type of critical analysis, see Antenna blog, Flow Journal, or In Media Res; NY Times writers David Carr, Bill Carter, etc; television critics like Maureen Ryan, James Poniewozik, Alan Sepinwall, my former officemate: Myles McNutt; or the blogs of any of the assigned authors). Your critical analysis should be a close reading of the TV as a text. I think that many of you should be familiar with what a close reading or textual analysis is from other Film and Media Studies or maybe English/Literature classes.
In general you need to read the text more closely and offer your interpretation rather than a description of what you see on screen and how you feel about it. Move away from summary, incorporating description of the plot only when necessary to support your argument or specific claims.
The entry should focus on a particular argument about the text. You can form your argument around repetitions, contradictions,containments, transgressions in the show and its message. Then provide specific evidence to support your claims. Or you could choose a theoretical lens through which to explain and understand the text and then provide specific evidence from the show to support your claims. Pointing to specific moments from the show in order to support your claims is key.
