Still Going Strong Research Paper

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.

You are thinking about traveling to the USA for a vacation. Which show should you watch?

The Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal once said, “I was always lucky in my bad luck”. The luck Louie had in the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand connects with Hrabal’s quote when Louie and his two friends Mac and Phil survive a brutal plane crash during World War II, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew must survive if they want to see their families and friends. With some luck will Louie help these men be reunited with their old lives?

Jerry Seinfeld's television sitcom, "Seinfeld," which went off the air in 1999, is still one of the most culturally pertinent shows today. The show dealt with little nuances of American society. A puffy shirt, for example, could be the main subject for an entire show. This show, which was derived from Jerry Seinfeld's observational humor, was voted as the "Greatest Show of All Time" by TV Guide in 2002. According to the show's official website, the ratings for the syndicated version of Seinfeld are ahead of many of the current primetime comedies ("Seinfeld" 2/5).

Music and the sounds that surround us have a way of affecting us before we even enter this world. David Burrows, a music teacher at New York University explains this concept by saying “An unborn child may startle in the womb at the sound of a door slamming shut. The rich, warm cacophony of the womb has been recorded: the mother’s heartbeat and breathing are among the earliest indicators babies have the existence of a world beyond their own skin.” (Storr). This is something a person never outgrows. Whether we intend on it happening or not, the sounds by which we are surrounded affect our mental patterns. Nevertheless, music has the ability to help us heal emotionally and combat our current mental state.

● Show how the weakest suffer, with slavery a possibility, and human life is cheap.

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.

There are two medical television series that stand above most others. These two shows put an emphasis on their personal, rather than professional lives. Bill Lawrence’s television series Scrubs and Shonda Rhime’s television series Greys Anatomy share the theme of competition, Greys Anatomy is better because of Shonda Rhime’s use of character, point of view, and conflict.

During this summer, my friends recommended that I watch Warehouse 13 since I’m fond of science fiction movies, television shows, and books. However, I was astonished that I truly enjoyed the first four seasons. I have seen many episodes of Doctor Who, Supernatural, and The X-Files and I was unsatisfied there was an abundance of episodes. In all honesty, I won’t be able to catch up on those shows. On the other hand, Warehouse 13 is distinctive, this show only had five seasons and around sixty episodes. They only lasted about forty minutes each so I finished the series in two weeks because the show only lasted five years.

Another great show the depicted modern times is the Seinfeld. Seinfield is an old show. However, imagine the timeline during this show is aired decades ago. Seinfield is a show with 3 guys and 1 lady. They live in New York and help each other out.

Thursday, March 31st, 2011- March 31st, 2011 was a cold gray rainy night in San Bernardino, California. That night, Oliver Brown and his friends, Georgie Anderson, Amanda Stallers, Alice Garcia, Jaden Ray, and Dustin Cooper, were smoking weed and drinking beer in Jaden’s basement.

Everwood, although having a bit of an older audience than the others, had a large, loyal fan base to build on. The show also received high critical acclaim, allowing for a strong possibility of increasing the number of new viewers. Veronica Mars also had a loyal fan base, albeit somewhat smaller, exemplified by the fan that paid to have an airplane circle the CEO’s office, pleading to keep the show on air. The show also fit with the target demographic of females between 18-34 years old. 7th Heaven, being the network’s longest running show, was also the longest-running family drama in history. While the show was quite expensive to produce, there were available cuts that could be made to keep the show’s cost on par with the other three.

Everyone has different reasons why they like their favourite shows. My reason will always be the fact that i dont like shows that are like every other show out there. Also because i love shows with a great sense of

Family Guy had a similar start, but after the relatively quick cancellation, it seemed to lose a lot of what made the first season's great a fantastic balance of solid plotlines mixed with zany humour. The Simpsons have managed to produce far more compelling storylines over the years (longevity helps this), and that gives them the edge in the debate.

If I had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, I would choose South Park. South Park is known for its many forms of humors, such as dark, and shock humor. These elements correspond very well to the kind of humor that I appreciate. During the time of being trapped in the TV show, I would befriend the four main characters, Kyle, Cartman, Stan, and Kenny. I would form a strong bond with the boys as well as take part in and witness their adventures as we would make trouble all over the town, school, and globe. Not only would I be able to witness the shenanigans of the boys, but I would also find myself witnessing their parent's endeavors. Kyle's parents are always stressed out over their kids or politics. Stan's mom deals with her alcoholic husband.
