There is a realism of form -- "staging, directing, acting, shooting and editing" -- and a realism of theme -- "plausibility of characterization, circumstance and action"
Mentions a further emotional realism based on Ien Ang's Watching Dallas book which is "deep-level resonances with the emotional organization of the viewer"
Defines two initial types of realism as they relate to television:
1. Verisimilitude: being like the real. 2. Reference - being about the real.
