as Social Commentary: Comedy For television's first three decades, thirty-minute comedies were set in hermetically sealed worlds where reality rarely, if ever, intruded. In the early 1970s, sophisticated comedies like M*A*S*H, All in the Family, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show revolutionized the genre, creating unprecedented opportunities for sitcom writers interested not only in making people laugh, but also in commenting on the world around them. In the decades since, television's best comedy writers have followed in this tradition, pushing the boundaries of the genre with programs combining humor, insight, and emotion. In Person: Matthew
Carlson (The Wonder Years, Malcolm in the Middle) Updates and additions to the schedule for the Spring 2004 Semester will be available at http://mtr.inet7.com/Registration/ssr/asp/ssr_index.asp. How to participate:
