| Abstract
|
:
|
This book analyzes four comic series--Scrubs, The office, The comeback, and Ugly Betty--revealing how each program separates itself from traditional and demonstrates an increased self-awareness of the genre. Throughout, the author focuses on two themes in the transformation: the relationship between comedy and euphoria; and the relationship between comic texts and reality.
