I need some help

Completely off topic, yet sort of on!

Spoiler:

I have to decide what to do my dissertation on! I have two proposals and can't choose between them.

1) To investigate the lead characters of American TV shows. Why they are the lead and how they conform/contrast the American Dream.

This is what my tutor said: "I think the first thing you say is the most interesting and especially picking out…how do the lead character within a certain TV programme conform or contrast from the American Dream?… if you talked about someone like Tony Soprano from The Sopranos you could relate the Italian American immigrant experience shown in cinema/tv The Godfather/cinema of Martin Scorsese Mean Streets/Good Fellas/Raging Bull etc…what is their idea of the American Dream?( who came up with the idea of the American Dream in the first place?) What do they have to achieve to accomplish this/ what is the experience of them who came before this? Is the American Dream purely about commercial success and economics or is it about more about feeling at home in a country etc…this is just an example but you could do this on any lead character within a film or tv show"

2) Look into viewing figures and why some genres are cult (like Scifi and SGA

) but have huge fandoms and other get more viewers but they watch the ep and then forget about it till the next. Also about how the internet has affected communication between fans and the programme makers.

My tutor says: "Firstly I think you should define what ‘Cult Viewing’ is….and what are cult viewing figures? as a starting point…what is it about the Sci fi genre which means they don’t get big viewing figures? They have a fanbase of fanatics who use a variety of media to keep up to date and in touch…in this idea should you could look at the how the internet has transformed programme viewers interaction with the programme makers and each other…has there been any time when an online protest over the way a shows storyline has been going has been affected by the public and internet forums..there are loads more areas you could look at on this…"

Like I said, I wanna do both *pouts* but I can't and I can't decide!!!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

On Topic: JT rules!

I like the second idea
