2000's TV Structure

So one thing that i really noticed in the last decade or so is the structure behind many popular television shows. Like we read in our book there are many different types of genres. Throughout time the genres usually follow the same structure. We had a lot of examples in our book of how directors would make different films, but the genres always followed a similar structure even though it may even be different stories or characters. This structure for television shows is something that i have noticed different trends in.

 

One popular television structures right now is reality tv. Shows like this have been around for some time now and have proved to be successful. We have shows for home improvement (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition), young parents (16 and Pregnant), and even drama (Jersey Shore). These shows, even while all about different topics, all follow a similar structure. Another type of show that is really popular right now is the talent show, at least that's what i call it. By this i mean shows like American Idol or America's Got Talent. I see so many of these shows, and apparently they are popular because more and more keep popping up.



I would also like to use this space to say that the new Batman films that have been coming out the last couple years, not a big fan. I didn't want to waste a whole blog talking about this because it's not that important, however i am just not that entertained by the new films. they bore me to be completely honest and it annoys me how much people obsess over them. Not to leave on such a negative tone, but i'm out!
