Trapped With Mythbusters

Reality shows – the present of mass media on entertainment which make the big influence to American society. Everybody watched the same stuff, the same old movies, or the same reruns before the cable TV or Internet appeared. For example, the Simpson was a successful sitcom became an institution as important as the cult classic. They poured their shared pop culture experienced into the show. However, the character

Boasting more than thirty seasons and fifteen years of broadcasting, Survivor continues to reign supreme over the reality television genre. Even skeptics of this genre can admit that Survivor is a massive standout in a heap of inadequate television shows. In this current era of oversaturation in the television world, it is Survivor’s complex premise, controversial drama and competitive nature that elevate it above the rest.

While MTV's The Real World places twenty-somethings in unique arrangements in which to live as they would like for several months, CBS's Survivor elicits peculiar behavior from contestants living in unusual circumstances. Despite fundamental differences, the continued success of both The Real World[1] and Survivor[2] illustrates that American viewers love to watch reality television shows with interesting locales, competitions or tasks, and natural personal relations.

Also, in many cases, the characters used in these shows are not ordinary individuals, but highly paid actors that simply recite scripts. Clearly, these shows are inaccurately labeled as “reality television,” and many individual’s time is wasted as a result. Time for many is very valuable. Wasting a person’s time because of an inaccurate description could be just as detrimental as wasting a person’s money because of an inaccurate description. Many people watch these shows to view real life situations, but what they are really viewing is the complete opposite. This cultivates confusion about what is real and what is fake.

Adam Savage once stated, "Failure is always an option." This is true when working with C-4, Fireworks, Liquid nitrogen, Sulfuric acid, and materials in the name of science. This law is still in effect today when working with scientific material. What matters is what you do to retry, like they do on Mythbusters. Adam Savage was born on July 15, 1967. He attended elementary school at Tisch School of the Arts, and attended high school at Sleepy Hollow High School. He graduated college from New york University. Adam Savage is an American that worked as a special effects designer in San Francisco, California. He lived there with his wife, Children and his dog.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and when it comes to the television series, Family Guy, everyone does. A person either loves the series or absolutely hates it. Antonia Peacocke voiced her opinion on the hit series in her article, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious. At first she was just another addition to the other Family Guy haters, but she eventually came around and saw the humor after the hard to swallow punch lines. “Family Guy does not aim to hurt… creators take certain measures to keep it from hitting too hard.” Peacock says (307). What the creators are reenacting in the shows are not exactly, socially

Nowadays, the development of technology affects the way we search for the information. For instance, stories that have been told only within families or small groups of people can now be exposed to the internet, where these stories are shared amongst hundreds of people. Urban legend, by definition, is a humorous or horrific story that people usually believe, even when there is no proof of where it started from, or of the trustworthiness of that story. Urban legends have appealed to many ranges of audiences since this genre tends to attract many individuals. For instance, college students have taken an interest towards these legends, whether they like the strange stories or the actual messages behind it. Urban legends have taught college students the themes, which are based on the reflection of their conflicts or problems that they have dealt with. The two common themes of urban legends that represent the problem that college students are dealing with are the conflicts between college students and their professors and the paranormal and horror events that occur in their life.

There once was a god named Perculus, he was one of the three lost gods that were destroyed by Zeus. He was the god of education; he was responsible for teaching all the citizens of Greece the basic ways of living. Once Zeus got into power he was jealous that someone other than himself was teaching the citizens so he sent him to Hades, along with two other gods for other personal reasons, Diminutive the original god of Truth and, Gargantuan the god of punishment.

The Humans had doubted the Monsters ever since the first monster came to be. They still do even when one is in power, in the Criminal Justice field, a member of a Guard, the heir to a throne, a Judge, a president, anything that held power or higher responsibilities. Sure monsters could work at convenient stores, gas stations, restaurants, small town lawyers, real estate agents, 911 responders, but only a few would work as higher authorities. The Guard was a different story, they had disbanded after having being back up on the Surface having no need to capture humans again.

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.

The cash register in "Money" is heard just as the color of Oz is seen.

Do you want to see your loved ones in a hospital room, seeing the screen go beep, beep, beeeep? Clear, clear, clearly reality television has already left a mark on us, a mark on how we act, a mark on how we feel and a mark on how we

It seems that you can’t turn on a television set anymore without a reality show being on. All networks have recently started to pump out reality shows left and right. And why wouldn’t they? Reality shows are highly rated, with three of them being in the top ten on the Nielsen ratings chart. In fact, these shows are becoming more popular than the sitcoms and dramas aired. New sitcoms and dramas struggle to get attention of the public when going against a reality show. Programs such as The Beast and Go Fish, which critics loved and raved about, are victims of the wrath of reality shows. These shows are now cancelled.

Myths serve as a basis of authority on ethical and moral issues regarded as facts, for example, why people behave the way that they do, but include supernatural elements. Myths tell the origins of the world and humankind by relating them to human traditions and understanding a societies values and norms (pg. 31). Human psychology deals with mental processes and behavior of an individual, group, or activity. Ways that human psychology affects the nature of myths and the way we tell and perceive stories is by interpreting an analysis of myths as being symbolic and, in turn, this symbolism is rooted in the human mind, behavior and emotions. Psychologists, Freud, and Jung believed that myths (e.g. dreams) are said to be symbolically expressing
