There is a show (cartoon sitcom) called Daria, which orginated on MTV years ago but is now shown on NOG. Daria's bestfriend Jane is an artist. There are constant images of art, issues about art, or some sort of art class/contest or museum/gallery integrated into the show. Jane is portrayed as a dark yet upbeat person to balance out her dry cynical bestfriend Daria.

That Simpson's episode was the focus of a College Art Association
session at their annual conference in NYC in 2003. The session was
great!

My favorite is a The Simpsons episode where Homer becomes an outsider
artist after his failed attempt at making an outdoor kitchen catches a
critic's eye. Jasper Johns is a guest voice, and there is a virtual art
survey course in one of Homer's nightmares. No one pokes fun at the art
world with more humor or accuracy.

Re: [MUSEUM-L] Sitcoms and art and museums
Expanding study to movies and theater pieces may broaden the subject too
much, but there are numerous interesting apprearances of art, artists,
and
museums in films and the whole play "Art" as well about a delicious
white
painting.
I always liked that Ross from Friends worked at a museum. Our jobs are
so
sexy!!
Performance art always seems to be good sitcom fodder and has made an
episode of Friends. And Murphy Brown's artist friend - did he ever take
a
bath? I seem to remember an artist episode of Gilligan's Island, but
that
was a long time ago - some guy with a beard and a beret?
Cheers didn't have much art except Diane's constant highbrow banter.
And
MASH didn't really have much of an opportunity to explore art, but Col
Potter painted for a while, and he made an awful painting of Klinger.
Yes, sign me up for this conversation...
