Comparing Rush And Once Upon A Time

I still remember watching the final episode of The Wire, feeling that it was a unique show that wouldn't possibly have a match in the field. I reasearched on similar shows and I finally found out about The Shield. It's another cop/crime show, and you can see that the world is almost the same. Yes, characters are not identical and there are more numbered in The Wire, but there's still that feeling- the feeling of watching real life going on in front of you.

These are the darker side of television shows, but read with caution, because you might never see these shows the same.

I believe we as a society are intrigued with shows like Dexter because they allow us a temporary escape from reality. A reality in which we witness injustices occur in our court systems such as a legal loop hole allowing a guilty person to essentially walk free and justice not being served for the victim. I will attempt to explain why these characters are thriving as pop culture icons.

The crime drama genre has persevered through numerous progressions since the times of 'Dickson of Dock Green' (1955-1976) in the UK alongside 'Dick Tracy' (1950-1952) in the USA. The natural progression inside crime genre saw them in the end showing police procedural's. This was a first for TV, the audience not just observed the crime and the apprehension of the criminal, yet out of the blue, the entire crime solving network was opened for the crowd to see. Crime scene investigation and lawful administration where displayed inside the shows. This developed into crime shows that concentrated exclusively on these different components that were beforehand hidden. Shows, for example, 'Cagney and Lacey' (1982-1988), 'Slope Street Blues' (1981-1987),

Friday Night Lights was engaging to me because I learned some valuable life lessons about

Dexter is a televesion program that debued in 2006. It follows a middle aged man named Dexter Morgan who works for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department as a blood splater anilyst. To his friends and co-workers he seems like a normal man albeit a little socially awkward. This is far from the truth however as Dexter is actually a serial killer. Thourghout the series we are given insits into Dexters past to explain how and why he became a serial killer. The main reason is reviled to be the fact that when he was three years old he witnessed the brutal murder of his mother in front of him. This lead to him being adopted by the police officer who found him. Its was not long after he was adopted that his adoptive father started noticing signs that Dexter had antisocial personality disorder such as killing animals. Instead of taking Dexter to get the help that he needed he decided to take matters into his own hands. He trained Dexter how to kill people and get away with it; however, he tought him to only kill murderers who he thought had escaped punishment.

Dexter. A serial killer who kills other serial killers. The TV show that best shows my intellectual vitality. I know what you’re thinking or at least everyone who read this thinks. TV shows are for normal teens not future Stanford attending geniuses. How could a TV show possibly show any intellectual vitality? However, I feel future Stanford teens can watch TV and at the same time show their intellectual vitality.

The Reality TV Show I chose for this assignment is The Bachelor. This TV show is very dramatic and definitely leaves you on the edge of your seat. The Bachelor is about one man who is looking to find love, and approximately 20 women competing for his love. In the season I chose to watch, Sean Lowe is the bachelor. Each week he sends another women home until he is left with his future wife. The three episodes I chose to watch were the last three of the season. Which included the home town dates, the final two, and then the finale, where Sean picked the women he wants to spend the rest of his life with. This show is definitely odd; however, it is extremely entertaining. The audience for this show is typically female teenagers and

What is your favorite television show? That question just might be the most asked question we ever here during our lifetime or right behind, what is your name? If there was a book of common questions to ask, probably somewhere in a Dating for Dummies book, that question is there, Guaranteed. Suits is an USA Network original series legal drama. It follows the life of Mike Ross, Harvard graduated Lawyer with a photographic memory, and Harvey Specter, a sarcastic, smart-alecky best closer in New York. A great legal drama obviously must have drama, and actual law practicing. It needs much more; it has to go deeper than that. It needs to have characters that viewers connect and grow with throughout the series, needs a great story to be told with

Eventually I decided on House, an American medical drama with an English actor playing the star role. There is something about the show

Every episode comes with its own mystery and once you start watching it you will soon find yourself critically analyzing each case, a skill that you’ll learn from the show, which is quite fun and leaves you looking for clues harder than the BAU and if that’s not enough to tell you why this show is amazing then Derek Morgan’s(Shemar Moore) door kicking skills and abs do the
