Television

Everyone has watched some type of TV in their lifetime, whether it be a daily TV show to the news or to TV seasons and shows. TV shows have changed from when I was little to now. When I was little the popular TV shows were scooby-doo, rocket power, and power puff girls, and shows like that. Now popular TV shows for kids are things like Glee and Spongebob, and shows like that. Kids' TV shows aren't what they use to be when I was little, they are a little more graphic and crude and mean, at least from what I noticed. But then again there's always Barney, it's still the same and probably always will be. Barney is a good show for kids. Kids shows are also more musical now too. Like there's the Wiggles, Little Einsteins, Glee, and a lot more that are musical orientated.
For Example: The Little Einsteins theme song

In TV shows now they have a lot of reality TV shows like Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, and also shows like The Voice and American Idol. Reality shows aren't really real life though, they're scripted, but people believe that they are real life. But people don't actually live lives like that in TV shows. Also if you put someone infront of a camera they're not going to act like they normally would they would be "putting on a show" for the camera. For instance take a look at Jersey Shore.

This is the normal Jersey Shore trailer for Season 6 (the final season)

 

 

This is another trailer for Jersey Shore Season 6 (the final season).

People are overly obessed with Jersey Shore and they think it's reality but really it's scripted and sometimes people don't always see the difference and they think that if it's on TV and it's called reality then it's real life when in most cases like 9 out of 10 reality TV is scripted.

TV shows have really changed over the years too. I've noticed that more TV shows are focusing on sex, drugs, and partying. Kids are becoming more aware of things like that through TV shows that they watch rather than from people at school or people in their family. Some of the Popular TV Shows are listed in the link and it gives a discription of what the TV show is about. Most of the TV shows are kinda about the same things just a few things changed up. But it's what is popular right now.

Nowadays you don't even have to be infront of a television to watch TV shows or be at the TV when the show permieres. Now you can just go online to watch TV shows. They also have services like hulu where you can download it to any device and watch TV shows.
