Television is an integral part of mass-media and one of the main sources of informarion today. TV aimed on huge public: with it’s all films, series, soap operas, talk and quiz shows, music and sex programmes.
As every human invention, TV has it’s own long history and it’s own advantages and disadvantages.
Nowdays our television has become a chewing gum for our eyes. People chew gums only because they need to have something in their mouth. And they watch TV only to kill time, and, unfortunately, most of this people are children.
In my opinion, television in my country is bad on the one hand and is enough good on the other hand.
First of all, the programmes are of bad quality. TV companies just want to make as much money as it’s possible, so they just make cheap programmes, like quiz shows, soap operas and sitcoms. Some of this sitcoms are very funny, but most of them are not.
Even when they show a good programme, they keep interrupting it with advertisement and commercials. To my mind, the most stupid commercials are TV-shops. They last for five minutes each and I hardly believe that somebody watch it and then buy these things.
Moreover there is too much violence on TV, it makes people, and especially children, very cruel.
Also, i think, that talk shows are very stupid programmes: people who talk for hours are not intelligent at all, so it isn’t interesting to listen to them.
I think, we can change our TV, we can make it better. If we will cut down the number of comercials, advertisments, stupid talk shows, humorous shows. We must full our television with intellegent humour, with interesting old films, intellegent talk shows with interesting presenter.
