Zusammenfassung:"While television genre was seen as static in the scholarship of the 1980s, Thinking Outside the Box explores the malleable and reflective nature of various TV programs.

The authors analyze less-studied genres such as cartoons, soap operas, and talk shows, locating their place and critical importance in American society."--BOOK JACKET.
