If you have read any of the seminal books on television studies (yes, there is such a thing), you’ve probably fallen asleep a few times and woken up in the middle of a chapter about representation.
You see, for the longest time, TV scholars loved to complain about how few women and minorities were on TV compared to their corresponding numbers in actual society.
Well, their pontificating paid off… or, at least bored TV producers into submission, and now we have women and minorities all over the televisual landscape. There are even female doctors, if you can believe such ludicrous things!
I make this point not to simply drop some knowledge, but to raise some awareness, as well. While women and minorities have made great strides, there is another cross-section of our culture left in the margins of television: fatties.
