What is nostalgia in television? How does a nostalgic text trigger nostalgic emotions? And how are nostalgic series received by different audiences? Stefanie Armbruster analyzes nostalgia in reruns, remakes, and period dramas from
Knight Rider to
Mad Men. Focus group discussions with German and Spanish viewers give new insights into their reception. This interdisciplinary in-depth study helps understand the interrelation of nostalgic texts and nostalgic reception, exploring an omnipresent part of the current TV landscape.
