Mile vs tranzicija: sitcom, milecom i više od toga

Television series Mile vs Transition represents a significant break with the usual local production of TV series aiming to be funny. The break is, fore-most, evident in the choice of the TV format: sitcom, as well as in numerous formal and aesthetic qualities – all of which make Mile vs Transition thought-provoking, amusing and fresh, despite the fact that it has been almost twenty years since the first broadcast of the series. What distinguishes this TV series from other similar series is best reflected in its method which relies on intertextual linking of narrative and iconographic elements as a conscious strategy of the authors. In this way, Mile vs Transition manages to transgress the frame and format of sitcom and becomes a ’television pastiche’ of televisual representations of social reality thus making this very social reality a subject matter of light entertainment.
