“…A media product that lacks transparency has much more limited commercial possibilities. 18 Narrative transparency allows a cultural product to better blend into other cultures, and grants it a competitive advantage over other potentially exportable commodities. Parenthood's sense of familiarity is sustained by topics and plots that resonate with local understandings, and are therefore more easily transposed to Italian public service.…”

In our article we propose an analysis of the Italian TV series Tutto può succedere, a remake of the American TV series Parenthood (NBC 2010-2015). The Italian remake precisely reproduces some Parenthood’s ready-made elements: the two series share the main plot, many storylines and characters’ personalities, dealing with the ups and downs of a large family, formed of four siblings, their parents and their children. We will focus on the differences and similarities of the two shows from several perspectives, such as formal and content divergences, and their cultural, social and production implications. On the one hand, the Italian remake loses the distinguishing style and the faster pace of the original series to adjust to Rai’s more basic aesthetics; on the other hand, Rai chooses to focus on specific plots and characters that match its own purposes. Indeed, we can assume that youngest characters are the means by which Raiuno tries to connect with younger viewers, and the same function is assumed by the role played by music in the series and by the on-screen presence of young Italian musicians.

“…Hollywood-fyldte programflader over hele verden kunne tyde på, at seerne foretraekker amerikanske programmer, og at Hollywood kan drage "konkurrencemaessig fordel af sine programmers narrative transparens" (Olson 1999). Hverken publikums praeferencer eller Hollywoodfortaellingens angivelige tekstuelle universalitet er imidlertid forklaringen på Hollywoods globale tilstedevaerelse.…”

Globaliseringen har knyttet verdens tv-industrier tættere sammen. Struk- turelle og institutionelle forbindelser mellem tv-systemer og tv-industrier har skabt en tv-branche, der i stigende grad styres af de samme prak- sisser og mål. Denne dynamik afspejles i tv-formaternes popularitet. På overfladen bidrager den globale udbredelse af tv-formater dog ikke kun til en global integration af industriens økonomi men også til en standardi- sering af programmernes indhold. Få store medieselskaber sælger idéer på et internationalt marked, således at seerne tilsyneladende ser natio- nale variationer af de samme programmer. På et dybere niveau viser salget af formater dog, at tv stadig er knyttet til lokale og nationale kulturer. Med eksempler fra Latinamerika argumenterer denne artikel for det syns- punkt, at tv på én gang er globalt og nationalt formet både af de globalise- rede medieøkonomier og af de lokale og nationale kulturer.

show abstract

“…Hollywood-filled television schedules around the world might suggest that domestic audiences prefer U.S. programs or that the latter enjoy the "competitive advantage of narrative transparency" (Olson 1999). Neither audience preference nor the presumed textual universality of programs account for the wide presence of Hollywood fare, however.…”

Globalization has intensified interconnectivity among television industries worldwide. Interconnectivity happens through structural and institutional linkages among television systems and industries worldwide, resulting in an increasingly integrated global business governed by similar practices and goals. The dynamics are reflected in the popularity of television formats. On the surface, global dissemination of formats may suggest not only the global integration of the economy of the industry but also the standardization of content. A dozen media companies are able to do business worldwide by selling the same idea, and audiences seem to be watching national variations of the same show. At a deeper level, however, formats attest to the fact that television still remains tied to local and national cultures. Bringing up examples of Latin American cases, this article argues that television is simultaneously global and national, shaped by the globalization of media economics and the pull of local and national cultures.
