TELEVISION In television, the term callback has come to mean a joke or line that refers to a previous episode. Particularly in earlier Sitcoms - though even until the early 1990s - callbacks were rare and often frowned upon by networks, because they threaten to isolate a viewer who is new to the series, or who missed episodes. '' Seinfeld '' was one of the first sitcoms to regularly use callbacks in its scripts, although on a level which would often be missed or disregarded by viewers. More recently, '' Arrested Development '' has become well-known by fans for its regular use of callbacks throughout all of its episodes. Of course, the line between a callback and simple Continuity can sometimes be ambiguous. EXTERNAL LINK |
