David Bianculli “Bianculli’s Personal Theory of TV Evolution”
apexart
This event has ended.
Among the treasures on view are the story board from Breaking Bad’s final episode, Mr. Rogers’
iconic sweater and sneakers, Rod Serling’s typewriter, and surrealist puppets from the soon-to-be-retired Late Late Show.
David Bianculli, TV critic for National Public Radio’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, has been a TV critic for almost 40 years—and a TV viewer for 60. In Bianculli’s Personal Theory of TV Evolution, he exhibits the television programs and transitions that shaped him, impressed him, and maybe even warped him a little. He traces certain TV evolutionary themes through the ages, such as “single working women on TV,” and also exhibits some of his personal collections: of related artwork and toys, old television equipment, and decades of promotional press kits and freebies from various TV networks and production houses. He even displays his first surviving piece of television criticism—written in his diary at age seven. All that, and a chance to enter your own TV “confessional,” see the glow-in-the-dark patron saint of television, and witness, up close and personal, Bianculli’s favorite moment from all of television: Rancid the Devil Horse.
