    Author Steven Johnson, of the article “Watching TV Makes You Smarter,” argues the evolution of modern television programming has intellectually challenged audiences, rather than stifling complex thoughts—and more, that audiences are craving a more cognitively demanding, complex plot line. Johnson uses multiple examples of drama type shows and even draws positive conclusions from many of the reality shows that are so popular now. He focuses in on a few key factors to take into account when considering the complexity and value of television—the “Sleeper Curve”, televised intelligence, and intentional viewer confusion.…

    Television develops a tolerance to the evils that occur in society. Death, whether it results from a ten car pileup, a raging fire, or a heinous murder, is what makes a show exciting. News anchors often tell a devastating story then will be flashing their bleached white teeth through a smile only moments later. Television viewers do not have sympathy towards melancholic events because they see them everyday.…

    Reality TV like any other scripted shows needs a storyline to capture the audience and keep them hooked on that’s where the drama comes in as we see in so many reality shows. The key difference between reality shows and scripted shows is they are not played by actors or as Rupel says “wannabe actors.” Reality shows needs hundreds of hours of footage just to make a single hour of TV show requiring longer shooting schedules as compared to scripted shows that can finish filming in a few days as they cannot predict when something interesting will happen. As J.Ryan Stradal suggests that unscripted storytelling is working backwards from the ending and working with what you have and crafting it into emotional or humorous journey that will capture the…

    Johnson goes on to compare reality television over the decades. He takes a look at earlier shows like The Love Boat and The Newlywed Game and compares them with newer shows like The Apprentice and Survivor. He explains how the earlier reality TV is more structured, and how the rules are mapped out beforehand, therefore requiring less focus to pay attention. However, Johnson compares the structural similarities in today’s reality TV to that of a video game. “…the rules aren’t fully established at the outset. You learn as you play” (290). By this video game structural method, shows like Survivor and The Apprentice keep the audience more engaged and develop more critical thinking.…

    There is so much TV on nowadays that you’d think I would find it easy to choose a programme to write about BUT I really struggled. There are some that I hate like reality TV, The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea to name but two, with their ‘fake’ characters, ‘plastic’ Barbie Doll and Action Man personalities, looks and features. Then there is the ridiculous storylines, so unbelievable, anyone out there in the ‘real world’ agree with my thoughts? In fact if I’m being honest I have never managed to watch an episode of either all the way through!…

    All good television shows have to be intelligent and thought provoking. Grey’s Anatomy is a thought provoking television show. The episodes are based off of actual medical cases. The show also makes someone think about the controversial/ ethical decisions, such as cheating to get a patient at the top of the organ transplant list by cutting his LVAD wire so his condition would worsen. Another show that is thought provoking is Mythbusters. The show makes someone think about how/ why something is happening. Plus, a lot of people are curious and have the same question about certain myths. A show that is definitely thought provoking is Brain Games. It makes people think why the brain/ body reacts the way that it does to an optical illusion. For example, reading the color of a word and not the word itself is so much harder than reading the word and not the color of the word.…

Mostly these shows have a bunch of young , good looking self publicists who are placed in unnatural situations , such as Big Boss house and Splitsvilla and then are provoked into behaving oddly. Only their most dramatic parts are shown on tv to create sensationalism.…
