Seasons Start, Seasons End, Seasons Change
The evolution of television programming was greatly influenced by the structure of the television season. BAF explores how it started out in experimental forms with early programming before eventually developing a fall through spring-summer model with reruns filling in. Certain programs defined the idea of the season finale through plot twists, cast and character changes, and the cliffhanger (Because soap operas are a future topic none specifically are mentioned in this episode just their role in general). Tune in to hear more on this season finale and engage in summer reruns before Season 2 begins in July. Support t...

Putting the “Breaks” on the Air
Commerical breaks that is! BAF explores televison advertising from its earliest days and how it has evolved and changed. From its earliest days of sponsors promoting cigarette smoking to anti-drug public service announcements. From the earlier upbeat Presidential campagin ads to those that attacked political opponents. How something as simple as a Folgers coffee products can define household roles and approaches depending on the decade in which the commercial is released. Plus the characters and jingles that kept us buying food. The commercials that told us as viewers how we could be more attractive, healthy, or in control. This...

The Late Night Legacy on Saturday Night
BAF continues his exploration of changing comedy-variety shows with a look back at Saturday Night Live. Now in its 50th Season, the legendary sketch based program followed the a new wave of parody and issue-oriented comedy shows that came about in the late 1960s and 70s. Many of these represented a change with the times from traditional rural settings to larger cities. Being live from New York City, SNL as it has become known, has laughed at everything while presenting a new crop of comedy stars with the latest and greatest. As the tradition continues today with a modern...

The Changing Nature of Variety in the 60s and 70s
As Saturday Night Live celebrates 50 years, BAF explores comedy-variety sketch shows that aired in the 10 years before it premiered. Such programs themeed their content around current events of the day, popular culture, and parodies of the past, present, and future. Programs such as The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Carol Burnett Show, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and Hee Haw were all different in their own way but laid the foundations in comedy and music for a long running show such as Saturday Night Live to position itself in the television viewing marketplace when it finally went on the air in 1975,
