I teach a History of Pop Music elective in my middle school. I’m contemplating a companion elective centered around television. Throwing this concept open to this group.
Looking at about ten hours of content (one hour a week for one quarter of the academic school year). Do I go chronologically from early early years to the present day, or do I focus on a different genre each class (drama, sitcom, talk show)? Most iconic shows? The ones that need to be preserved in a time capsule? A day devoted to the worst TV shows? I feel like I need to include the following: MASH Johnny Carson NYPD Blue Wheel of Fortune Monty Python The Cosby Show Star Trek The Real World Wide World of Sports The OJ Simpson trial Cronkite announcing the death of JFK People will probably also want me to include: I Love Lucy Milton Berle Bob Hope Ernie Kovacs SNL Open to any and all ideas Kevin M.
