I've taught 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 "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 Wikipedia article about me on September 7, 2020.
I'm the author of The Sitcom (NY: Routledge, 2019),[1] Television Style (NY: Routledge, 2010),[2] Television: Visual Storytelling and Screen Culture, 5th edition (New York: Routledge, 2018; formerly titled, Television: Critical Methods and Applications)[3] and the editor of Star Texts: Image and Performance in Film and Television (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1991).[4]
My previous encyclopedia-writing experience was for the Encyclopedia of Television.[5]

- I've been participating in Wikipedia since 17:36, March 23, 2005Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". — starting out as 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)Template:--for a total of 12,363 edits across all Wiki services. 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 and television studies.
