Lorelai’s parents, Richard and Emily Gilmore, live in Hartford, Connecticut and are rich and proper and have very specific ideas of what a life should look like.

Different cultures and race are also widely accepted in today's sitcoms. Sometimes, programs may show racial difficulties like we see in real life. In "Gilmore Girls" Rory has friends who come from different

The rating system also ignores the fact that the age divisions are wide-ranging. The different age divisions are ages 0-13, 13-17, over 17, and over 18. The main concern is the group of kids aged 0-13. The problem with this is a four-year-old and a twelve-year-old would react in different ways to a movie because “younger children attribute life and realism to any character that looks real” while older children are more mature and

Inhaling and exhaling a deep breath, Veronica tried to ignore the ticking in her head that counted the seconds she’d been seated at Dominick’s. Her table was a strategic choice; far from, but angled towards, the door- a perfect position to watch for any man that had the slightest potential to be CA152. Talking to a stranger and daring to meet the man and be nervous about it, there was some silliness in that. Waiting at a table alone, with a rose as identification felt completely silly to Veronica. Wait a minute, was that… Veronica’s watchful eyes caught a glimpse of Logan Echolls, striding into Dominick’s with a big grin on his face.

Before revising my review of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life I must reevaluate the purpose, the strengths, and the weakness of my original review. What I determined the project or purpose of my review to be is to express the various emotions that fans of the original series felt while watching the revival. I feel I accomplished; however, I do see room to improve my expressions to help include and convince new viewers. This leads into some of the weakness of my original review. Although I made some specific allusions to the original series such as the reference to Lorelai’s coffee addiction and to “The Life and Death Brigade” these examples did not supply any substantial content for the readers. Fans of the original series may understand them,

I chose the television series American Horror Stories to do my analysis on breaking the norm in television. I chose this series because it breaks all of the norms due to its graphic content. The show is geared for a more mature audience and is rated TV-MA. Programs rated MA are unsuitable for children under seventeen.

The T.V show " Girlfriends" is very eye catching for young women between the ages of 16-35. It deals with girl related issues, for example: what am i going to wear on my first date, or do i look fat? These are some of the topics friends talk about. The show is based on four African American women who have been friends since early childhood, it takes place now in the present. The girls are in there mid-20's-early 30's. The characters names are Jone, Tony, Mya, and Lin. Some of the topics which they talk about include marrige, finnancial problems, legal issues, children, and fashion. Jone is a highly known attourney, Mya is Jone's secretary, Tony is a real estate agent, and Lin is a free soul.

Kids also have mistaken this show for an excuse to experiment with sexual desires. While high school students are taught to abstain from sex in numerous health classes, they learn from MTV that a lot of teenagers participate in sexual intercourse. This gives them the idea that sex is normal for young teens and that they should join the bandwagon too

* The main focus of many teen dramas is sex, with each episode containing countless verbal and visual references to sexual activity. These highly sexualized portrayals of relationships bear little resemblance to the real lives of teens—and are generally not balanced by clear messages about safe and healthy attitudes towards sex.
