Abstract
Television remains the greatest shared cultural force for explaining the world and providing possibilities
for living in that world. The average household spends 59.5 hours a week watching televisual content.
From early childhood through old age viewers connect with characters who they will never meet and
invest deeply into a narrative that will never end. This course takes an in-depth examination into how
television keeps us watching and the complex meanings present in even the most innocuous programming.
