THE HBO EFFECT
Book ID/图书代码： 02000013B66898
English Summary/英文概要： No advertisers to please, no censors to placate, no commercial interruptions every eleven minutes, demanding cliffhangers to draw viewers back after the commercial breaks: HBO has re-written the rules of television; and the result has been nothing short of a cultural ground shift. The HBO Effect details how the fingerprints of HBO are all over contemporary film and television. Their capability to focus on smaller markets made shows like Sex and the City, The Sopranos, The Wire, and even the more recent True Blood, trigger shows on basic cable networks to follow suit. HBO pioneered the use of HDTV and the widescreen format, production and distribution deals leading to market presence, and the promotion of greater diversity on T.V.(discussing issues of class and race).
The HBO Effect examines this rich and unique history for clues to its remarkable impact upon television and popular culture. It’s time to take a wide-angle look at HBO as a producer of American culture.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 无需讨好广告商，也无需安抚赞助商，没有每十一分钟便插播的商业广告，但却需要留有悬念，让观众们在广告后还能再次回来：HBO重写了电视的历史；而且结果便是一种文化的根基性转变。《HBO效应》详述了为何HBO的足迹遍及当代影视圈。它们集中投入较小市场的能力使得小剧集市场如《欲望都市》《黑道家族》《火线》，甚至像是近期的《真爱如血》等剧集，引得一批网络电视的跟风与追捧。HBO开创了使用高清晰度电视,推广了宽频的形式、产品以及普及，引领了市场的潮流，并大大促进了电视行业的多样性普及。（探讨阶级和种族问题）
《HBO效应》从丰富而独特的历史案例中寻找线索，了解其对电视行业以及流行文化产业的巨大影响。让我们从多角度了解HBO,了解这一美国文化的产物。（DC）
