My friend Jess Murray joins me as we historically analyze the game show Supermarket Sweep! The conclusion we come to is fairly obvious, but also super important in larger context, this show accentuates consumerism culture in America. Check out an episode from the 60's and from the 90's, it is a very entertaining show to watch!   1967: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se4syko6Law 1994: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbot1p0Eb0

Supermarket Sweep!

We further discuss what a traditional Thanksgiving is through an episode of Roseanne! How is this different from the last episode and why is it important that Roseanne shows us this view of an American family? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x239ycw

I am at camp this week! (yay!) We delve into a, "how to" video from the 1940's and talk about a, "traditional American Thanksgiving." But what is a traditional American Thanksgiving even? To this particular video it means a lovely time spent with friends and family while displaying good manners! Is this what Thanksgiving is to everyone though?? Heck no! Let's keep exploring! But until then, here is the primary source goods!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4_zGR_nWRw
