The Golden Age of Television (2000s–present) in the United States, also known as the New〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-new-golden-age-of-television/ )〕 or Second or even Third Golden Age of Television, depending on how one interprets the history of television in the United States and distinguishes it from the original Golden Age of Television, is a period of high-quality and often scripted〔 American television programming recognized internationally〔〔 by critics as beginning sometime in the mid 2000s and resulting from advances in technologies of media distribution.〔〔 Sheer volume of television output has been cited as a key factor in the new Golden Age; the massive increase in hours of available television prompted a huge wave of content that was likened to "a new Golden Age of Television and a new tidal wave of garbage" at the same time. == History == French scholar Alexis Pichard has argued that TV series enjoyed a Second Golden Age in the 2000 which was a combination of three elements: first, an improvement on both visual aesthetics and storytelling; second, an overall homogeneity between cable series and networks series; and third, a tremendous popular success. Alexis Pichard contends that this Second Golden Age was the result of a revolution initiated by the traditional networks in the 1980s and carried on by the cable channels (especially HBO) in the 1990s.〔Pichard, 2011, p.11〕 Television shows thought to have contributed to the rise of the new golden age of television include the influential HBO shows ''The Sopranos'' and ''The Wire''.〔 With the rise of instant access to content on Netflix, television shows like ''Breaking Bad'' and ''Mad Men'' gained cult followings that grew to become wide popularity. ''The Sopranos'', ''The Wire'', ''Breaking Bad'', and ''Mad Men'' are generally considered the basis of the so-called Golden Age of Television, i.e. the new creator-driven tragic dramas of the 2000s.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/25/books/brett-martins-difficult-men-sees-a-new-golden-age-for-tv.html〕 The Writer's Guild of America vote for 101 Best Written TV Shows includes a complete foundation of the current Golden Age of Television. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=101 Best Written TV Series List )〕 Some have argued that it began earlier with network shows like ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''.〔(Zacharek, Stephanie. "Why Avengers: Age of Ultron Fills this Buffy Fan with Despair." ''The Village Voice''. 2015. )〕 Robert Moore wrote in ''Popmatters'', "''The Wire'' is a beneficiary of the birth of TV as art, a promulgator of that development, not its cause. ... Television had already changed, and we largely have ''Buffy'' to thank for that."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=When TV Became Art: What We Owe to Buffy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Age of Television (2000s–present)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
