to compare and contrast in terms of their representational politics, historical contexts, industrial situations and/or aesthetic/narrative sensibilities. This essay should revolve around a clear, complex argument/interpretive thesis (not a statement of fact or evaluative opinion) based in evidence from the files.

Some broad questions you may consider addressing via a more specific thesis include:

In what ways do the programs contrast or conform in terms of their aesthetics (cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, sound), narrative structures, performance styles, and/or (if applicable) uses of advertising? How do such conventions speak to the shows’ political perspectives?
How do these programs speak to trends occuring in the television industry at their moments of production? In what ways do they either affirm or challenge narrative, aesthetic, and/or ideological conventions of the time period and why do these similarities/distinctions matter?
How are the episodes in conversation (or not) with social and political events occuring in the United States? How do the episodes choose to address their audiences similarly/differently and why?
How do the episodes grapple with ethnic, racial, class, gender, and/or sexual identity in the United States, and how do their representations either challenge or maintain status quo cultural “ideals”?
