Summary Annotation A comprehensive and accessible introduction to the representation of masculinities in a wide range of popular television genres. Rebecca Feasey reads the depiction of masculinity in the soap opera, homosexuality in the situation comedy, fatherhood in prime-time animation, emerging manhood in the supernatural teen text, alternative gender roles in science fiction, male authority in police procedurals, masculine anxieties in the hospital drama, violence and aggression in sports coverage, ordinariness and emotional connectedness in the reality game show, and domesticity in lifestyle television. Masculinity and Popular Television illuminates the construction, circulation, and interrogation of masculinities in contemporary British and American programming and realtes such images to the "common sense" model of the hegemonic male that dominates the cultural landscape.
