TV show : Possible reasons why American Idol is losing viewers
American Idol, this little show that slowly caught on in the viewing public, did more than just “catch on” – it caught on fire. It became an American institution, finding its way into the homes of millions and millions of viewers each week.
American Idol premiered in the summer of 2002, to not-so-hot ratings, but slowly so its viewership increases over the course of the season, eventually being watched on September 4, the season finale, by over 22 million people. By that time, FOX realized how impactful this show would become. They found a hot spot for it in their midseason schedule, where it has lead television for the past 7 years. During its heyday, it’s been watched by over 40 million viewers.
But, since late season 6, Idol has begun to show its signs of weakness – it’s been on a ratings decline for over 2 years now, where it continues as of late. So TV experts, critics, and the show itself has been struggling to ask the simple question of “Why?”

TV Show : censorship in television and radio in the US
The concept behind censorship is that we should protect people, and particularly children, from inappropriate content. The basic idea is that, as a society, we have certain standards, spoken and unspoken, that we agree to abide by in order to provide civility and cohesion. The challenge is knowing how to balance these standards to accommodate some without offending others and how to adjust to the changes in society that change the unspoken standards.
In the 1960′s, a television show aired that sparked extreme controversy because it was the first television series that showed a married couple sleeping in the same bed. The show: The Flintstones. At the time, it was an unspoken rule that no television couple should be shown in the same bed, but society was changing and so the standards were as well.

TV show : review: Big Cat Diary
Big Cat Diary is a long-running nature documentary from the BBC in the UK. If you ever get a chance to see it, then it’s definitely worth checking out and you will fall in love with the animals and the landscape of this wonderful programme.
The show is set in the Masai Mara in Kenya and follows the successes and tribulations of the big cats that inhabit the savannah. These include several lion prides, leopards and cheetahs. Additionally, the show also brings wonderful footage of other animals that share the big cats’ world, including elephants, giraffes, hyenas, crocodiles and jackals.
The show has been running since 1996, so has included several generations of the same families of big cats. As well as uplifting and funny moments, there’s also a fair share of tragedy, which makes you realise just how hard life is for these animals at times.

TV Show : Remembering television in the 1970's
The TV era of the 1970s was filled with social issues, bubble gum, and spin offs. It was the time when Aaron Spelling, Norman Lear and Garry Marshall ruled the air waves. Comediennes made their mark. Sports themes would abound. Variety shows flourished. And some Bicentennial moments leading to one heck of a party.
Coming out of the psychedelic 60s, The 1970s were an era of social change. It was reflected no better than in its television show of the decade, All in the Family starring Carrol O’Connor as Archie Bunker. The gloves were off and Norman Lear pulled no punches. This was not Jackie Gleason. This was not Robert Young. Here was a bigot of a man speaking his mind and throwing his working man attitude out every week on our TV sets. It covered a lot of social issues that had never seen the light of day in any previous TV or radio broadcast script. There were episodes that covered heavy themes like racism, homosexuality, rape, abortion, draft dodging and more.The popularity of All in the Family led Lear to create a plethora of spin offs during that time. The Bunker’s African American neighbors, the Jeffersons, moved on up to the East side and created one of the most popular and long running shows on TV. Edith Bunker’s cousin Maude was a liberal frick to stalwart Archie’s frack, she got her own show. Maude’s maid Florida got her own spin off and Good Times was born. Lear was able to spin off from his original key show and spread his message all across the TV schedule.
TV Show : The End? When a TV series finale isn't final
Sometimes the DNA of an old television series reappears many moons past its first exposition. The “Night Stalker” was first broadcast in 1974, and 31 years later the same network, ABC, tried to modernize the supernatural thriller with even poorer results – while the first series only lasted one season, the modern “Night Stalker” was canceled after only ten episodes were filmed.
The ’70′s series featured Darren McGavin as a Chicago newspaper reporter who specialized in investigating paranormal goings-on. The enterprise wasn’t taken too seriously, as the Karel Kolchak character often hammed it up while on the tail of the monster-of-the-week. The rebirthed “Night Stalker” was predictably given a heavy coloring of angst – this Kolchak was driven to the world of the paranormal by a search for answers of the cause of his wife’s strange murder. He had as his foil a female reporter who was able to posit a logical reason for all of the supernatural dirt Kolchak dug up. Mulder-Scully redux, you ask? No question.
TV show: Review : Extreme Makeover Home Edition
I have beeen watching this show for awhile now & I think what they are doing for families all over the United States is just great as some, no let me change that, all of these families need this make over very badly.
When you look at some of the problems that these families have & you compare the problems that you have & the problems that they have. Then all of a sudden your problems don’t seem as big as as you once thought compared to their problems.
I have seen many different families on this show, one that I remember is one that the dad was in a car accident, he was hurt very bad in this accident. His house was not wheelchair handy & he had to stay at his parents house, this went on for 2yrs. One other thing that was sad about this particular show was that the day the accident happened his wife was having a baby at that very same time, so it was a good day but a sad day because of the accident.

TV show reviews: Lost
Season One:
Well I would like to tell you about the phenomenon that is “Lost”.
We saw the adverts on channel 4 for this, which were, I have to say intriguing but somewhat strange. They involved the characters all dancing with each other and doing some very strange stuff. The marketing obviously worked though as we began to watch it each week. And each week, we were left in state of disbelief that yet again we were left hanging in the balance, questions unanswered. It was frustratingly slow yet extremely gripping at the same time.
#######THE PLOT#######
A plane bound from Sydney to LA, crashes onto a seemingly deserted island. Most of the passengers are killed but 48 remain alive and pretty much, for the most part, unscathed. It is these lucky(?) people whose lives we are then set to follow for the next 24 episodes.
