Scratchin' and survivin' : hustle economics and the Black sitcoms of Tandem Productions / by Sebro, Adrien,author.(CARDINAL)883809;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Scratchin' and Survivin': Hustle Economics and the Black Sitcoms of Tandem Productions is a production history and study of Black labor in the Black sitcoms of Tandem Productions; Sanford and Son (1972-1977), Good Times (1974-1979), and The Jeffersons (1975-1985). These sitcoms challenged subjective producer's control of 1970s television. Focusing on these Black sitcoms, Scratchin' and Survivin' engages the intersections of performance, production, politics, and reception to consider how this array of Black sitcoms intervened in both the history of television and in a rearticulation of Black identity in the early 1970s. With close attention to race, socioeconomics, gender, and politics, the sitcoms of Tandem had their own distinct style in depicting Black American life on screen. What is rarely discussed in the history Tandem is the Black artist's (actors, writers, assistants, etc.) and the "hustle economics" they engaged in while becoming television auteurs within a space that wasn't built for them. "Hustle economics" exists as a negotiation of Black labor in front of and behind the screen. Indeed, the production of these sitcoms called for various forms of creative agency and labor resilience that transformed the television industry, and Scratchin' andSurvivin' brings attention to the Black artists who were a part of these transformative acts"--

In the wake of Hitler's ascent to power, the wealthy industrialist von Essenbeck family and their associates-- including the scheming social climber Friedrich (Dirk Bogarde), the conniving matriarch Sophie (Ingrid Thulin), and the cruelly deviant heir Martin (Helmut Berger, memorably donning Marlene Dietrich-like drag in his breakthrough role)-- descend into a self-destructive spiral of decadence, greed, perversion, and all-consuming hatred as they vie for power, over the family business and over one another. The heightened performances and Visconti's luridly expressionistic use of Technicolor conjure a garish world of decaying opulence in which one family's downfall comes to stand for the moral rot of a nation"--Container.English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH)English/German audio with optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH).DVD, wide screen (1.85:1) aspect ratio ; region 1; Dolby digital mono.
