This game-changing series inspired a generation of show creators to experiment artistically, transforming the small screen in ways that endure to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on six shows (\u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, with a critical analysis of both the original series and the 2017 return; \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTreme\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eGirls\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eTelevision Rewired \u003c\/i\u003eexplores what made these programs so extraordinary. As their writers and producers fought against canned plots and moral simplicity, they participated in the evolution of the exhilarating new auteur television while underscoring the fact that art and entertainment don't have to be mutually exclusive. Nochimson also makes provocative distinctions between true auteur television and shows that were inspired by the freedom of the auteur series but nonetheless remained entrenched within the parameters of formula. Providing opportunities for vigorous discussion, \u003ci\u003eTelevision Rewired\u003c\/i\u003e will stimulate debates about which of the new television series since 1990 constitute \"art\" and which are tweaked \"business-driven storytelling.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha P.
