Speaker Session: Erika Barker and Julia Underkoffler; Country Music, Comedy, and the Small Screen
Join us on Tuesday, May 13 for a Speaker Session with Erika Barker and Julia Underkoffler: Country Music, Comedy, and the Small Screen. After World War II, television grew at an exponential rate. From the 1940s through the 1960s, advanced technology, greater disposable income, and the increase in the number of stations helped television to become the era’s primary mass medium. Television allowed country music to reach a wide audience, and popular shows such as I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show had regular segments featuring country musicians.
