TV series... importand or not?!

To write about TV series was an interesting topic for blog number two, and very topical. I love watching TV, but I also pity all those people who doesn’t do anything else besides watching TV.

I also remember those time that Teacher Marie writes about and discuses in her blog. When there was only two channels to choose from and you had to wait one or two weeks for the next episode to broadcast. During this time, or maybe a few year later, I found my favorite soap, Ally McBeal. It was love at first sight for my mother, sister and me. Ally McBeal’s content was a lawyer who happened to start working at her ex boyfriend AND his new wife’s firm. The ingredients that made this series so entertaining was that Ally was funny, she wasn’t shy, everything she made seemed going wrong, and her boss was crazy. One other thing that contributed making the show that irresistible for me, was that this was a special time that my mother, sister and I had together during the week. It doesn’t specify that the only family activity my family had was watching TV. It was just a girl thing we did together, and I loved it.

If we’re moving on to present time, I think I’ll say that Grey’s Anatomy is my favorite show. But as you all know, there are so many soaps, sitcoms and reality shows to choose from. And most of them are not that big of mental exercise for you, more the opposite.

I usually let the TV run while I’m doing something else, like reading an assignment, sewing or repairing, or talking on the phone. Since my boyfriend moved to Stockholm, and I’m only seeing him during the weekends, the TV is some sort of company. My friends and I often watch Desperate Housewife and Grey’s Anatomy together. Afterwards we let the TV be on. Even if we’re in a deep discussing about something else, we’re not bothered by the TV.

From the way I describe and act around the TV, and all it different series it sounds like I don’t enjoy it. Or think that the TV doesn’t contribute to anything important, but I do think it does. For me it’s an easy and perfect way to relax. Something entertains you, but you don’t need to pay attention to it if you don’t like it or enjoy it. The human being can’t have it in a better way.

Young people...

The first thing that comes to my mind when discussing childhood is parents. Without good parents children are lost. Without someone to guard them thru life they will not experience the best of it.

Toys, games, clothes, all material things affect the child growing up. Of course it’s fun to have those things. Sometimes it’s even necessary to have them. Even if it’s just a piece out of life, it’s worth millions in children’s eyes. Because without them, it’s pretty easy to be bullied. I don’t say that I like it, I absolutely don’t, that material things should decide whether your classmates want to be friends with you or not. But I know that sometimes is this the case.

But with just the material things, new clothes, all the latest videogames and a new pony, children won’t get a excellent childhood. You need to add love, love from family and friends. Knowing that your parents always will be there for you and support you, whatever happens, gives you comfort, self-confidence and happiness.

I grew up on a farm, and had to learn how to take care of myself and my siblings pretty early. At least if you compare with some of my friends. I did some easy cooking and cleaning for example. When this was taking place I thought it was quite boring, but now, looking back I realize that this taught me a lot, taking responsibility and so on. This is something you don’t think of as much when you’re young, but more when you start growing up.

So my opinion and conclusion is that the parents are the most important experience children have during their youth. If you combine the love from the parents and responsibility with a lot of play and games you will get the perfect start of a wonderful life.
