I've taught [[film studies|film]] and [[television studies]] at the [[University of Alabama]] since 1980 and been a visiting professor at the [[University of Arizona]]. I've been involved with college and Public radio since 1972 and currently host "[http://www.allthingsacoustic.org All Things Acoustic]" on [[Alabama Public Radio]]. On June 1, 2020, I retired from full-time teaching/scholarship and became a ''[[professor emeritus]]''. [[User:FloridaArmy]] was kind enough to create a [[Jeremy G. Butler|Wikipedia article about me]] on September 7, 2020.

I'm the author of ''The Sitcom'' (NY: [[Routledge]], 2019),<ref name="sitcom">{{Cite book |last=Butler |first=Jeremy G. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1124776156 |title=The Sitcom |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-138-85094-1 |location=New York, NY |oclc=1124776156}}</ref> ''Television Style'' (NY: Routledge, 2010),<ref name="Style">{{Cite book |last=Butler |first=Jeremy G. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/354854342 |title=Television Style |publisher=Routledge |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-415-96511-8 |location=New York |oclc=354854342}}</ref> ''Television: Visual Storytelling and Screen Culture'', 5th edition (New York: Routledge, 2018; formerly titled, ''Television: Critical Methods and Applications'')<ref name="Television">{{Cite book |last=Butler |first=Jeremy G. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1022790261 |title=Television: Visual Storytelling and Screen Culture |year=2018 |isbn=978-1-351-72189-9 |edition=Fifth |location=New York, NY |oclc=1022790261}}</ref> and the editor of ''Star Texts: Image and Performance in Film and Television'' (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1991).<ref name="Stars">{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/22892712 |title=Star Texts: Image and Performance in Film and Television |date=1991 |publisher=Wayne State University Press |isbn=0-8143-2311-1 |location=Detroit |oclc=22892712}}</ref>

*I've been participating in Wikipedia since 17:36, {{Start date and age|2005|03|23|p=yes}} — starting out as [[User:JButler|JButler]]. I didn't like that account name, because of its funky capitalization (i.e., ''Jbutler'' and ''jbutler'' don't equal ''JButler'' on Wikipedia). When I realized you could create an account name with a space in it, I switched to ''Jeremy Butler'' (27 August 2005). 
**Under the deprecated account, "JButler," I made 135 edits. And as "Jeremy Butler," I have made 12,228 edits (as of February 24, 2025){{--}}for a total of 12,363 edits across all Wiki services. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Jeremy+Butler An up-to-date edit count may be found in my "Global Account Information".] I'm mostly interested in articles dealing with [[folk music]] and [[film studies|film]] and [[television studies]].
