TV

So for a second post I have to talk about probably my passion of media .... which is TV ... or television as it is also called :)

I generally watch to much but at the end of the day Im doing a media degree so its research......right?

Being a Brit, I used to believe as a child that ours was the best and no other country could produce anything as good .... except maybe The Simpsons from America, which I loved and am still partial to when Im bored and it's on.

However, in 2005, a new show was advertised on Channel 4, which kept catching my attention, due to its constant promotion during another great favourite of mine, that being UK Big Brother (2000-2010).

Even to this day I remember the night well during the final week of Big Brother 6, when between Craigs eviction on the Wednesday (yes I do still remember who and there name) a small American pilot was shown .........LOST!!!(2005-2010)

From then on I was hooked and American TV just made television watching a whole new level for me.
Since then I have not looked back and through some findings on my own, plus a little help from friends, I have indulged in Ugly Betty (2006-2010), Pushing Daisies (2007-2009), True Blood (2008-), Glee (2009-), The Vampire Diaries (2009-), Cougar Town (2009-), Flashforward (2009-2010), Heroes (2006-2010) ... plus probably many more :P

But what this shows is that not only are certain TV programmes great, but that television is an expression, a medium that does not always get the most credit but should be something to be studied and researched over.

The people who believe it is a waste of time to do this surely something which gets such a large audience, reaction and debate, surely must have some kind of influence right?

Well it certainly did for me and gives reason for what is to come in later blogs.

Hopefully Il get a good grasp over the Christmas Holidays and get a few reviews out there in this next week.

So thanks for reading and Il catch you again :)
