TV: Then Vs. Now

Why Be So Negative?

Written by: D. Daire – Posted: Sat Mar 17th, 2007

How are things different now than they were back in the day? One thing that is different is television. I think there was a total of three channels when my mom was growing up, so if the President was on giving a speech, the night was shot. Also, if you think about it, the types of shows that they have on television nowadays have changed. We used to see things like Leave It To Beaver, I Love Lucy, and The Jeffersons. These are all the same kind of show. They are all good hearted comedies that had two purposes: to make people laugh and to entertain. Let's look at a few of the shows that we have on television today.

First, this CSI show; although it is really entertaining, it focuses on the negative things in this world. Does this mean that we should just forget about the negative things that go on in this country every day? No. It means that when someone comes home after a hard or challenging day the one thing they do not need is a negative show on TV.

This was a really great article.
I liked it alot.

I completely agree with you.
As much as I love all the CSI's (I'm not really into the reality
tv, I mean every once in awhile but not a huge fan) they do focus
more on well basically murder.
And the reality shows are all about having sex with people and
other people fighting and yelling all the time.
It's like you said..who wants to come home after a hard day of
work and see people get killed or people fighting and screaming at
each other.

I would love to watch and I love Lucy or the Jeffersons when I
come home one day.

It would make my night alot more relaxing.
My Favorites are CSI,CSI MIAMI,
this is a very cool article , i like i love lucy better than all
of them becuz it is the funniest.
I love alot of older tv shows-Little House On The Prairie, The
Waltons, Leave It To Beaver, Lucy is great too. I also love
Growing Pains and Full House, Home Improvement, Boy Meets World,
all those are great.
I also enjoy newer shows like 7th Heaven. Plus the reality shows
are great too. My favorite reality show is American Idol. I also
love watching Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Dancing With
The Stars, Little People Big World, and so many others I enjoy.

Oldies are a particular type of great goodies. I still prefer
comedy and even though TV has become a bit more offensive since
then, and alot more has changed (I don't think they had "rich
spoiled kids" reality shows back then either), I still wouldn't
mind watching an Episode of I Love Lucy every now and then to get
away from the CSI's or reality TV's! Of course I dont love CSI and
not a big fan of it but it's ok for it to update you on how far
medicine technology and other sorts of technology has come to
today. It shows plenty of that stuff.
TV sucks now it is all about crappy "reality" shows which aren't
actually real in the first place.
OMG I LOVE LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, interesting article.
