Stuff I Play Before Section

For those of you who wonder how/why I choose the videos I play before section, or are interested in seeing them again, I'm starting this thread for you. I usually choose things to play that relate to what we're discussing, but in a more contemporary context, so on this thread I will give you an idea of why I chose what I did. Feel free to respond, and we can have a conversation about what themes from TV history we see playing out in these clips. (Though please note that this thread is not one for credit/blog post grades -it's a space for exploration if you get excited about something and want to talk about it in a broader context.)
