Television has been a huge part of our culture since the early 1950s. Although it was developed early, because of World War II commercial broadcasting was put on hold until after the war. Since 1950 television has progressed rapidly. In the 60s color television was invented which brought shows to a whole new level. Primitive forms of cable television existed as early as 1948 but cable did not become a significant medium until the 80s. Everyone in the country was watching the big four networks which were CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox Network. Fox Network came later on but made a big impact (Hanson, 2016, p.222). One of the most popular types of shows on these networks are situational comedies or sitcoms (British Comedy Guide). Sitcoms

Stereotyping is usually defined as a predetermined, overwhelming belief about a meticulous group or category of people. In this day in time our popular culture often reinforces many different stereotypes, and at times over generalizes them. In this paper, I’m going to talk about how the popular TV series, American Horror Story: Freak Show, The Big Bang Theory, and The Kardashians infuse many different stereotypes into their shows, whether they be good or bad.

Pretty Little Liars, Breaking Bad, Friends, Friday Night Lights. Any of those sound familiar? Those are just a few of the many popular TV shows we have in our lives, and I am betting you all have seen at least one episode from one of those shows. We all have our favorite shows, including me. My favorite TV show is Girl Meets World, one of the best shows ever. Girl Meets World is one of the best TV shows because of the interesting plot and helpful messages.

Flying through time and space in an old public police box, landing to realize that you are in an entirely different time and galaxy, this is the life of the Doctor and all his companions. Doctor Who is a witty, sci-fi, British TV show, whose main character, the Doctor, spends his life saving civilizations throughout time and space in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space). He has human companions who accompany him on his adventures;one of these companions is Clara Oswald. I identify with Clara because: I would love to travel with the Doctor, she is very kind, and witty, and finally, she knows that she must pay the consequences for her actions.

Do today’s kids know about Hey Arnold, or about Cat-dog, or even Saved By The Bell? These shows are the foundation of what shows have become today.

People would find that there are numerous similarities and acutely few differences.

I have at least heard of eight out of the top ten. I have actually watched four of them (The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, NCIS, and X-Files). I am interested in at least three more (Designated Survivor, Bull & Blacklist).

When asked about our favorite TV shows key things come to mind, characters, plot, and overall greatness. Many would say that they invest themselves in the universe that has been created for them, but now, imagine that coming from your school’s video production class.

Cast of the 90s hit sitcom “Friends” shared a picture with stars of the current comedy series “The Big Bang Theory.” They were all gathered to celebrate NBC’s “Must See TV: A Trubite to James Burrow” over the weekend and will air on Feb. 21.

For two hours, I watched the television show “The Big Bang Theory” and made observations on it. First off, there are seven main characters, six of which are white and the other is of Indian descent. They are all fairly well fit despite the fact that the men are “geeks.” All of the main characters have clear faces with no sign of blemishes. The women are all fairly well-dressed despite the fact that one of them is a failing actress and waitress and the other two are successful scientists. The men all wear shirts relating to comics, video games, and sci-fi movies, but this is to be expected given that they are geeks and prefer geeky hobbies. They are younger adults ranging from twenty-five to thirty years of age and all appear to be part of the middle class with the exception of one whose father makes a lot of money as practicing doctor. They refer to themselves as “I” and tend to not make references about anyone outside their social group. Then I went to do the real-life observation.

From England to the United States, BBC America has aired their highly regarded television shows in our vast continent since 1935. BBC, standing for the British Broadcast Channel, has produced an abundant amount of nominated television shows from Merlin to Downtown Abbey. However, BBC is well known for capturing the hearts of teenage and middle age individuals from their nominated television shows called Sherlock and Doctor Who. Airing on BBC America since the 1960s, Doctor Who is the longest-running television show on BBC America. On the other hand, from Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, comes a contemporary twist in the story and characters of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. By looking at the outer portions of the shows, one can view them as polar opposites. However, both the British television shows share exceedingly similar qualities in their plot and characteristics of the main leads and their companions in the show.
