Description
Summary:In order to achieve commercial success, the television series broadcast on major US networks during the past decade must play an “ideological balancing game.” To illustrate how this game is played, the author compares Desperate Housewives with Grey’s Anatomy, and C.S.I. : Crime Scene Investigation with Cold Case.
