For tomorrow’s class, in addition to reviewing plans for the rest of the term, we’ll have time to watch a few more web dramas.
If you get a chance, check out Broad City, both some of the early short webisodes on YouTube http://www.broadcitytheshow.com/#episodes and the more recent seasons (full episodes) on Comedy Central. http://www.cc.com/shows/broad-city
As you’re watching, think about how Gitlin’s ideas of hegemony, formula, genre, plot, characters, setting, and slant may apply.
