    Jorge J E Gracia's work, “The Secret of Seinfeld's Humour: The Significance of the Insignificant” is an attempt to explore the sociological concepts of comedy and tragedy through the analysis of the successful popular cultural phenomenon that is 'Seinfeld'. In an era where sex, violence and special effects are becoming more prominent forms of popular entertainment (Gracia, 2000.), how is a self professed show that ''is about nothing'' (Gracia, 2000, p150.) so successful with audiences?…

    Rather than merely stating a fundraising goal, they chose to include a copy of how they estimated the production cost of “(Wo)men Rule Broadway” and an explanation of how they plan to use the money. Flati and Rogers provided a list saying that they would like to be able to afford a real theater in Hollywood (as opposed to a blackbox theater), pay their cast and crew, purchase costumes and props, and hire a film crew. These explanations appeal to the audience’s sense of logic. They calculated the $10,000 goal for this Kickstarter methodically, so potential backers are informed of what they are paying for. While items such as a real theater, costumes, and paying the cast and crew may not be a requirement for this production, theater lovers know the effort required to produce a show and understand how important these items are to performance quality. Members of the cast and crew deserve to be paid and be part of a well-done production. This allows them to provide quality entertainment to their audience members. Through evidence, Flati and Rogers reassure their potential backers that they will spend the money wisely and use it for its intended purpose, making the show a memorable experience for all…

    The 16th episode of season 29 of Saturday Night Live welcomed the presidential hopeful Donald Trump to host the show. The sold-out performance received copious amounts of criticism from a variety of pro-immigrant, hispanic and other minority organizations. Despite the speculation, the show went on, and Trump was warmly welcomed onto the SNL stage. Despite their host, the show did not hold off in making fun of the guest. Saturday Night Live was adequately funny and witty as usual, though I do not believe that the host contributed to their success.…

    I’ve been spending a lot of time YouTube watching videos on vex robotics. There were all kinds of robots that perform many stunts. One of the robots had a six-wheel drive train, and two motors to take in and push out objects. There were many competitions all over and one that stood out was the Vex World Championship Final Match. During this competition each team had to make their robot pick up as many tennis balls and deposit them on to this bridge sorted out by each team’s color. This was a very exciting and close match, but at the end of it teams 11 and 7 beat teams 3 and 803. The total score to the match was 21-31, so it was actually a great match.…

    TV Producers run the business of making television productions including newscasts, game shows, sports programs, soap operas, talk shows, documentaries and made-for-TV movies. TV Producers review and approve all aspects of a TV production, including choosing scripts, hiring directors and actors, paying bills and solving problems along the way. The ultimate goal is to create a TV production that is good, on time and on budget. The TV Producer mainly makes business-related decisions, but he or she may also provide background research or written material for the show. The role of the TV Producer depends on the type of show and the time the producer has to dedicate to the show, says the Museum of Broadcast Communication, www.museum.tv.…
