American Television Drama
註釋Anchored in fact and sprinkled with anecdotes, this volume chronicles the early years in the development of television drama, prior to the emergence of television networks. Between the years 1928 -- the year of the first television drama -- and 1947 -- the year of the first dramatic anthology series--hundreds of television dramas were produced. Hawes focuses on the administrative, artistic, and technological concerns that arose at the National Broadcasting Company, the Columbia Broadcasting System and other experimental television stations in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. He also discusses the contribution of television critics, the significance of radio and motion picture industries, and the role of advertising in television drama. ISBN 0-8173-0276-XL $29.95.
