From Shakespeare to cop shows, sitcoms to docudramas, for over threedecades the CBC has presented viewers with every variety of televisiondrama and has become Canada's closest equivalent to a nationaltheatre. Turn Up the Contrast is the first book to explore thecontent of Canadian television drama and is both a critical analysisand a survey history of how Canadians have used the medium to tellthemselves their own stories. As a part of her research, Mary Jane Miller watched thousands ofhours of television, sampling series and viewing in their entiretyshorter programs such as movies and mini-series. Asking a variety ofquestions, she selected a number of programs for detailed analysis, anddevotees of The Beachcombers, King of Kensington, Seeing Things, Cariboo Country, Wojeck or A Gift to Last will be pleasedto find their favourites among those discussed at length.
