Why is Captain James T. Kirk Known and Loved by So Many? Among science fiction's fictitious characters, Captain James T. Kirk is without a doubt among the most well-known. Fans all across the world were won over by Kirk's charisma, leadership, and bravery aboard the Starship Enterprise in the original Star Trek series. If Kirk's popularity and impact are as great now as they were when the show first aired, what accounts for that?

New Rock Follies Review Musical Brings 1970s Feminist TV Sensation To The Stage

Rock Follies review: powerful new musical brings 1970s feminist TV sensation to the stage. Rock Follies was a groundbreaking television series about an all-female rock band that originally aired for two seasons in 1976 and 1977. It wove fantastical, trippy and campy rock-musical numbers together with the often less glamorous realities of show business. The television show also led to two soundtrack albums, Rock Follies and Rock Follies of ’77, that charted in the UK. Now, nearly 50 years after it first aired, the show has been reimagined as a stage musical with a new book by Chloë Moss that showcases the TV show’s original music from Howard Schuman and Roxy Music’s Andy Mackay. The Chichester Festival Theatre staging is a successful update for a contemporary live audience. It pays musica...

The History Of That Jerry Springer [Bleeping] Bleep Sound

Jerry Springer and the history of that [bleeping] bleep sound. Since Jerry Springer’s death on April 27, 2023, writers have been working through the cultural significance of his eponymous daytime talk show. For 27 years, Springer’s circus of sensationalism was a remarkably durable and bankable commodity. Helping to normalize outrageousness in culture, it taught content creators that shamelessness is a lucrative industry. It’s been framed as a harbinger of “‘anything goes’ reality television” or “trash TV” and decried for setting a “new standard for tawdriness” and for providing audiences with the “guilty pleasure” of “chair-throwing.” But as a media historian interested in the ways that sound structures our experience of TV shows and films, when I think of “The Jerry Springer Show,” I t...

Jerry Springer Perfected The Art Of Chasing Ratings

Jerry Springer may have perfected the art of chasing ratings, but his predecessors laid the groundwork. In a widely quoted New York Times column, the paper of record called his TV program “an electronic peepshow.” The Times’ media critic, Jack Gould, accused him of “making a commercial virtue of cheap sensationalism” and exploiting the worst in human behavior, just to get ratings. But this was not a critique about controversial talk show host Jerry Springer, who died on April 27, 2023. It was a column about an equally controversial talk show host named Joe Pyne, who pioneered an opinionated and confrontational style of program, first on radio and then on TV, where he insulted callers and argued with guests. Gould wrote the article on June 5, 1966. In other words, we’ve been here before....

She’s a model, actress, singer, dancer, and rapper who started her career on the blogging platform Tumblr but now boasts over 2 million followers on Instagram.

She shows plenty of skin swinging around upside down on the pole while money rains down on her heavenly body. With Justine’s talent the Skye is the limit!

A Look At ‘Swarm’ Murder, Sex, Music — This Is Not A Work Of Fiction

‘Swarm’ is a dark, satirical look at how the absence of meaningful relationships can spawn a serial killer. “Swarm,” the new streaming series created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, centers on a deranged superfan named Dre who becomes a serial killer. Dre longs to meet a global pop star named Ni’Jah, who’s based on Beyoncé, and Dre’s obsession with the singer sparks a multistate murder spree that begins after the death of her only friend, Marissa. As a criminologist, I look to understand what causes people to commit crimes, and I see more driving Dre than her extreme fixation on a celebrity. As the story unfolds, viewers learn about Dre’s childhood. To me, these early experiences explain a lot more about her crimes than her fandom does. Social isolation and criminal behavior In 196...

Jennifer Coolidge The Mamtastic Mama—Coining The Phrase Racktastic Assets

Jugalicious Jennifer Coolidge nabbed national sexposure as hot house frau Stifler’s Mom in the racy romp American Pie (1999). While most boys were set on bedding mere girls, Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) got to get busy with this mamtastic mama—coining the phrase MILF! Jennifer continued to spread the mythology of all-American institutions such as baseball, hotdogs, hair pie and Chevrolet by boning her young boyfriend again in American Pie 2 (2001) and American Wedding (2003). Yet Jen is more than just an entry in the wank bank of teenage affection. Quite the yuckster, Coolidge got her start with the improvisational troupe The Groundlings and has since showcased her comic timing (and ample cleavage) per crazy character parts in Best in Show (2000), Legally Blonde (2001), Legally Blonde 2: Red,...

Family Guy And The Parent Television Council

Family Guy released an episode entitled "Quagmire's Mom." In the episode, the sex-addicted reoccurring character, Glen Quagmire, is arrested for having sex with a high school girl. After claiming that his mom is the reason that he grew up to be a sexual deviant, Quagmire is still sentenced to twenty years in prison. However, his mom then enters the episode and finds a way to get her son acquitted of his charges. While I am a huge fan of Family Guy, I personally thought this episode was mediocre. However, I apparently loved this episode compared to the Parent Television Council. The Parent Television Council is probably more active in attacking Family Guy than any other major organization. Family Guy has made their yearly list of "worst prime-time shows for family viewing" three times and ...
