On the surface Kim Kardashian the vain, materialistic heiress and Neil Degrasse Tyson the accomplished, highly respected astrophysicist would appear to have almost nothing in common. However if we are to look deeper we would see that they actually do. They are both stars of television shows considered to be entertaining by many viewers. Even though the target audiences of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey might not have much overlap both shows meet the definition of entertainment which is “something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement for the mind”.

There are many television shows today that one might consider their favorite, these shows, depending on the genre, tend to appeal to different audiences. For example, the show, "Family Guy" and "Californication" would be seen by different age groups and even genders. T.V. shows are seen by many people today, one show that I consider the best to have ever aired is "Friends". This show has a combination of love, comedy and portrays real life scenarios that one might consider interesting and entertaining. The show is about friendship and the connection between 6 different individuals and how they tend to influence each other 's lives. This show aired from September 1994 to May 2004 with a total of 10 seasons and was created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. There are 6 main characters, Rachel(played by Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Phoebe(Lisa Kudrow), Chandler(Matthew Perry), Joey(Matt LeBlanc) and Ross(David Schwimmer). The show portrays how they rely on each other when faced with conflicts, they in a sense, become more of a family, Episodes usually revolve around careers or the characters dating life; Joey has problems finding an acting job and Rachel one in the fashion industry, Ross struggles to find " the one" and in doing so gets married 3 times. Phoebe and Chandler are two of the most comedic characters in the show but have conflicts with trust and with their parents, and Monica, Ross 's sister, is known for being a perfectionist and neat freak.

The discussion material this week was a fun topic. I really enjoyed the star trek episode Dromonk. What made it surreal it how communication can’t understand and taken in so many ways. IMDb’s list was great I saw a lot show that I watch as a child, my favorite was Justice League. The star-ship page was an eye-opening thing, to show the difference of star-ship that have been created. Television has it pro and con; it can add special effects and a more surreal experience for the fan. T.V is also much easier to catch up and watch your favorite shows while reader can take some time. However, it can destroy a reader image of it favorite character. Alien has evolved a long war from what they began as. Media has had a major role in that, alien are

The culture of America was transforming by the end of the twentieth century, and series like Seinfeld and The Simpsons were transcending television through creative storylines and outstanding comedy. In the year 1994, CNN introduced the new, hit sitcom Friends; the show followed six 20 to 30 year old friends’ lives in Manhattan and captured an upcoming generation by storm. The idea of friends learning to support one another through professional and private conflict appealed to the masses. Everyone tuned in each Thursday night and became attached to one of the show’s empathetic characters: insipid Ross, irresolute Rachel, vacuous Joey, bubbly Phoebe, irritable Chandler, and imperious Monica. Its popularity only grew through each new season as the actors and actresses developed from unknowns into national television stars. “The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant” in season two exemplifies the show’s ability to influence and reflect a country’s culture through its emotional storylines, comedic drama, and relatable characters.

There is no television show that doesn’t challenge our concept of a “normal” life or family in some way or another. Reba is a prime example of challenging our concept of a “normal” family. Reba, the star and single mother of the show, goes through many difficulties but always works through them and does not let them get her down. The television show, Reba, challenges our concept of “normal” family as she deals with her ex-husband and his new wife, with her pregnant teenage daughter, and with her daughter and son-in-law living with her.
