Mike And Molly
The entertaining hit sitcom that launched box-office star Melissa McCarthy’s movie career (Bridesmaids, Identity Thief, St. Vincent, Spy) premiers its sixth season on Wednesday, January 6 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Mike & Molly is set to air on CBS for what may be its final season, and now is the perfect time to tune into the Mike & Molly saga – you’ll get to know a host of interesting and screwball characters along the hilarious way.
Featuring a Chicago-based couple who meet in an Overeaters Anonymous group and fall for each other, Mike & Molly has led the way in changing how lead characters are created and presented; audiences all over have been exposed to a show with actors that do not fit the long-established expectations for American stars. With an eccentric cast of family and friends, the series regularly bucks convention, makes us laugh with outlandish roles and scenes, and gives us an alternative view of finding love and family. Want to get to know Mike & Molly up close, but prefer to do it online? We’ll give you the goods, no anonymity required.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and when it comes to the television series, Family Guy, everyone does. A person either loves the series or absolutely hates it. Antonia Peacocke voiced her opinion on the hit series in her article, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious. At first she was just another addition to the other Family Guy haters, but she eventually came around and saw the humor after the hard to swallow punch lines. “Family Guy does not aim to hurt… creators take certain measures to keep it from hitting too hard.” Peacock says (307). What the creators are reenacting in the shows are not exactly, socially acceptable. However, that’s what draws its viewers, its cutting edge take on society’s problems and differences. The fact is, what is being said in the series is not a lie, maybe more bias due to the point of view, but it’s based off the truth. The reason people find the show so funny is because it may have happened to them or a friend. One may be offend by Family Guys risky takes on sensitive subjects, but it is the truth and the truth hurts sometimes.…

However, “The Plastics” ask Cady to join them. Cady, Janis, and Damian together plot against the leader of The Plastics, Regina George, the most monstrous of them all. In reality, the more time Cady spends with The Plastics, the more she starts to actually become one. The Plastics themselves show how monstrous qualities are formed in celebrity culture, while the use of Cady is the perfect example of how culture builds up celebrities to break them back down. The Plastics took Cady, someone who was naïve and candid, and turned her into something she is not through the manipulation of their own standards and rules. Celebrity culture heavily relies on qualities of manipulation. This was done through thru burn book, etc…

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    Curley’s wife is a significant character in “Of Mice and Men” because she is both a victimizer and victim, and symbolizes the objectification of women. Curley’s wife is the only woman in the plot. She is defined by her part in the story, Curley's wife or possession. She is depicted, like the women in Weed, as a liar and manipulator of men. Steinbeck's initial portrayal of Curley's wife shows her to be attractive, unkind, and seductive. She is much like the other characters, lonely and somewhat powerless with few choices and unfulfilled dreams. She is a pathetic character, isolated from everyone else. The men are fearful of her because she is the wife of their boss. The power she embodies creates fear among the ranch workers and is based on her position and her desperate need for attention.…

    The stress and dilemmas of reality can drive an individual to the brink of insanity. At times, what one needs is a break; an alternative world to escape to. Entertainment provides a diversion to occupy one’s thoughts for a short period of time. In movies, novels and dramas, we immerse ourselves in the lives of fictional characters. We laugh at the jokes they tell, share in their setbacks, cry for them, berate their stupidity, and admire their courage. We befriend them, fall in love with them and behold their happy endings.

    For the opening 30 seconds of the cartoon music is played in major key which is meant to make audience feel happy that they are watching the program, the motif is repeated but changed to keep the listener entertained during the opening credits. As the cartoon begins there is woodwind instrument which sounds like a flute playing a melody over a piano playing arpeggio this gives the impression of it being early morning as it’s very upbeat and cheerful. Before the main characters appear on the cartoon the flute plays a trill this is used to build anticipation before the characters enter. After the trill is completed the tempo of the music is increased and more instruments are added the most noticeable being the drums. The tempo change and the loud cymbal crashes show the listener that the characters are racing and fighting to get out the door first the loud skidding foley sounds confirm this. Once the characters are outside a bouncing noise is added as the Easter bunny jumps away this has been placed there so to make it more comical as the target audience is children. The music then changes to a relaxed calm sounding mood whilst the characters read the message off the basket left. There is another changed in tempo after this as the music is played fast to portray the jerry the mouse’s feelings of panic as the tom snatches away the Easter egg left. The skidding forley sounds add to the effect of hurrying. Whist the characters are having a tug of war match which the basket the instruments are playing chromatically to portray the movement of back and forth before a trumpet is played with a minor sounding feel to show distress the egg then fly’s into the air.
