The tenth episode of season four of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer is known as one of the most interesting episodes of the show’s entire screening. Over many years of its showtime, Buffy has gained tremendous popularity. The show gained credibility throughout the years since the pilot episode in 1997 and was even nominated for an Emmy. The episode “Hush” includes an occasional antagonist who are formerly known as “The Gentlemen” who take the voices of Sunnydale. Although the entire show is known for its witty dialogue, this episode has very minimum lines of actual speech. This choice of plot creates a cliché theme for the episode. The theme is “Actions speak louder than words.” “Hush” however was much different from the classic Buffy formula and took the fans of the show by surprise. In the episode “Hush,” the theme is ironic because the characters deal with their problems more efficiently through their actions than their words.
Buffy Summers and Riley Finn are one of many pairs of companions on the show. Buffy and Riley communicate more when they cannot speak than when they have the ability to speak. Within their early lines of dialogue, tension builds between the two when neither could formally speak to one another about their feelings. However, when they lose their voices during the rising conflict of the episode, they part with a silent kiss. Buffy and Riley return to their awkward communication when they regain their ability to speak. The comparison between when
Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are both award-winning television comedies. Both series were created by Michael Schur and Dan Goor. However, while Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are both mockumentary styled television shows, they differ in a variety of aspects. To begin, Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine share similar character dynamics but differ in job requirements. Similarly, Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine carry an optimistic outlook yet use different comedic devices. Despite both series having similar settings the editing is strikingly different. In spite of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s common co-creators, the shows are not exactly the same.
Today’s society is all about the drama. Social media has played a huge influential factor in allowing people to communicate with others, release news quickly, keep the population updated, along with many other advantages. It has also become a place where people especially teens, talk about romance in a cultural way. In one of my favorite TV shows, Gossip Girl, drama and cultural romance is the key factor in all of the characters’ lives. There is an anonymous “gossip girl” who posts online the drama pertaining to the city’s most elite groups, which happens to be the main characters who attend the same high school. For the purpose of this essay, the main characters to be discussed are Serena Van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald, and Dan Humphrey. Serena and Blair have been best friends since forever, and are very popular. At the beginning of the show, Blair is dating Nate who is best friends with Chuck. These four are all very popular not just in school, but their last names cause them to be very well-known to the public eye. Dan is an outsider who ends up getting looped into the drama. As the episodes and seasons of the show progress, old relationships start to fade away while new relationships are arising, and gossip girl does not miss a beat. It is a constant flow of romance between the characters. One of the most iconic relationships is that between Chuck and Blair. Their relationship is a roller coaster in itself. A very strong, undeniable attraction
Vince Gilligan’s ‘Breaking Bad’ is a TV series about Walter White, a chemistry teacher, who starts cooking Methamphetamine to provide money for his family. In an interview with The New York Times, creator Vince Gilligan said the larger lesson of the series is that "actions have consequences". He elaborated on the show's philosophy: “If religion is a reaction of man, and nothing more, it seems to me that it represents a human desire for wrongdoers to be punished. I hate the idea of Idi Amin living in Saudi Arabia for the last 25 years of his life. That galls me to no end. I feel some sort of need for biblical atonement, or justice, or something. I like to believe there is some comeuppance, that karma kicks in at some

The first three minutes of AMC’s ‘Fear the Walking Dead,’ the upcoming companion series for ‘The Walking Dead,’ has now been made available to watch online.
As society undergoes a progressive change in the media and sexuality sector, there has been an increase in the “queering” of characters across all media platforms, most specifically film and television. Furthermore, in order to better understand the changes that have been ongoing in recent years, I looked at ABC Studio Production’s hit drama series Grey’s Anatomy. Shonda Rhimes created the Golden Globe winning series, which first aired in March of 2005 and is still running today. In addition to creating the show, Rhimes serves as an executive producer along with Betsy Beers, Mark Gordon, Tony Phelan, Joan Rater and Rob Corn. Further, the reason I selected this example was because I am a dedicated fan of the show and also because the show has
In the television show called ”Malcolm in the middle“ is a TV show based on comedy that is focus on the smart kid of the family Malcolm. In this paper I will talk about Reese the older brother of the main character. Justin Berfield is Malcolm's dimwitted older brother, a schoolyard bully who tortures Malcolm at home even while he defends him at school.
Life with Derek if filmed as a linear show, this simply means it is played in the correct time order this would mean the TV show/movie would run smoothly with the start, then the middle and finally the end. This is done because the show is aimed towards pre-teens and this makes it easier for the younger people to follow along. The show is a realistic show this is as it is filmed for pre-teens it helps them in their transition into being a teenager and realising there growing up it does this by being a realistic show but having a light hearted sense of humour whereas shows for older people would have humour that is aimed for older people making the show have a more darker comedy side. The show doesn’t have many, if not any, flashbacks this is as the characters and the scenes explain themselves making it easier for younger people to follow. The show is a realist show, this is where the TV show of movie is completely set in reality and everything within the show or movie is believable. The set, sound (diegetic or non-diegetic) everything. Each episode ends with a closed ending as every episode has a different story line. The show has a multi-slandered narrative, the show tells a story form the whole family’s point of view point of view this is so a lot of people can relate to the show as it’s told form a whole family witch has different age ranges and genders. This show uses mostly diegetic sound with only editing non diegetic sound in for comedy purposes, most
The series “Designated Survivor” is based on a cultural message of cultural diversity. The plot of the series is based on the United States of America and the President of the United States. I chose cultural diversity which relates to the differences within society, and different cultures live together with one another. The first episode is located at the White House, and the White House is a place where there are different cultures living together to protect others. The plot changed once the President of the United States and others were killed at the Capital from an attack. Therefore, the Designated Survivor which was the former Secretary of Housing was appointed as the new President of the United States. He was thought as the lowest man
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a well written series known for its dialogue which is both smart and witty. The series is well respected, and has been nominated for an Emmy. Also, the series is in the top sixty series of all time, selected by TV Guide Magazine. Buffy is most written by Joss Whedon, who is known for his use of literary elements, such as theme.The loss of one important human function, the ability to speak, has lead the people of Sunnydale to bond more as they use their body language to communicate. In the episode “Hush,” the people of Sunnydale ironically communicate and bond much better once the theft of their voices leaves them without their most vital form of communication.
I began to watch the first episode of Gossip Girl, I have never watched the series before and after hearing about the blog I decided it would be a good time. An overview of what Gossip Girl is about is that it is a fictional television show that explores the lives of people living amongst the elites in society in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Throughout the show, there are various characters and scenarios that discuss the problems of the characters, who are not elites and are engulfed into a society that they are not welcomed in. In the first season, they introduce the character of the teenagers who have grown up in extremely wealthy backgrounds, such as Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald, Chuck Bass, and Serena van der Woodsen. They were born with heritage and attended the best Upper East Side’s private school, Constance in New York City. But with these teenagers who have a great status and life, there is the lower class of the characters in Gossip Girl, which is the Humphrey family. Dan and Jenny Humphrey’s dad, Rufus is an old forgotten band artist, who now owns an art gallery, they live in a loft in Brooklyn. They don’t have a lot of wealth, but they still have enough money to send Dan and Jenny to the same private school are Serena, Blair, Nate, and Chuck who are all Upper East Side kids. Seeing that the lower class still have enough to be able to support and go to a private school shows they are in relative poverty, for they lack the resources that the Upper East Side
