Task 4

Peoples choice awards- Big bang theory won best show 

http://www.englishandmedia.co.uk/mm/subscribers/downloads/archive_mm/mmagpast/MM38_Politics_Sitcom.html- Whilst UK sitcoms have in recent decades established a highly successful tradition of female writer/actors, ranging from French and Saunders and Victoria Wood through to Caroline Aherne, this has been less notable in the US. However 30 Rock is especially notable for being one of the few truly ‘female-led’ American sitcoms of the modern era, in contrast with other so-called ‘women’s’ shows that target a female audience through their female leads, yet have no women in prominent creative or editorial positions.

-30 rock 
This is the line of inquiry that informs this essay on 30 Rock, which represents feminism as a contentious, often contradictory bundle of beliefs conveying mixed messages about female power and authority. Given the high expectations of Tina Fey's politics, online feminist media critics have expressed considerable disappointment with the series because 30 Rock so often undermines Liz Lemon's feminist ideals and also because it replays the clichés of the feminist as frumpy, unfeminine, possibly a lesbian, or—as suggested by the Bossypants photo--secretly a man.

The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom that features a couple of socially awkward yet brilliant male physics postdocs who live across the hall from a sociable "blond bombshell" actress/waitress of "average intellect.

"The Big Bang Theory" started out as a predominantly male cast, but over the seasons more and more women have made their mark on the witty show. This has often begged the question, are the women of the show represented fairly?

This show is about their friendships, so even if it is a cancer story for Nick, it is a story about Jess helping him realize some stuff about his life. The show has always worked best when all of the characters are involved in all of the stories. Because that is the way actual friendships work: all of your friends weigh in on each other’s lives.
