in the end , provide an essential question. Synopsis
The authors discussed what good criticism is and how the definition of watching television is
changing. In current soci?ty, a common way to criticize television, and other medias in general.
is through the thumbs up/down” model, which reduces criticism to a value judgment. They
argued that instead, good criticism should broaden audiences’ experience and understanding of a
text. Most of television criticism can be divided into five categories: TV form, TV
representation, TV politics, TV industry, TV practices. Other important elements include
reception of how it is received, history and the changes over time, and technological changes.
The authors argued that television studies is a field that mixes examining television as a specific
medium and examining television’s broader cultural context and issues. The authors argued that
although the act of watching television has changed over time, television is still an important
cultural practice, and now includes a variety of cultural forms. They noted that although
watching television seems like a simple act, the act of watching and evaluating is different for
everyone because television content is complicated and is viewed in different contexts.
Key Concepts
• Thumbs up/down: A “model reduces criticism to a simple physical gesture…the
“thumbs” metric provided a jumping off point for discussion, and guaranteed that the two
had something concrete to agree or disagree about with a reliable and consistent structure
for each review” (p. 2).
• Textual analysis: “To comect the program to its broader contexts, and make an
argument about the text’s cultural significance, thus providing a model for how you can
watch television with a critical eye and write your own works of television criticism.”
(p. 4).
• Criticism: “To provide insight into a text, not to proclaim a singular ‘correct
interpretation” (p. 6). Good criticism, “applies a model of thinking to a text in order to
expand our understanding and experience of it” (p. 1).
Key Quotes
“Criticism is not the same as evaluation. You don’t have to like (or dislike) a particular
television program to think and write critically about it” (p. 7).
• “Nobody watches the same TV. We watch a wide variety of programs, and even in those
cases when we watch the same programs. we often watch them in vastly different
contexts. Television is still a mass medium experienced by millions, but the specific
experience of watching television is far from universal” (p. 7).
• “Much of television scholarship is focused on understanding the industrial, regulatory,
and reception contexts of the medium more than critical analyses of specific programs…
but we believe that there is a crucial role for television scholars to use our expertise about
the medium’s history, aesthetics, structures, and cultural importance” (p. 4).
