my opinion about TV

Postby Pau Fortuño » Tue Nov 17, 2015 7:17 pm

I don't often watch TV since I was plugged a computer with Internet to my living room screen. So, I guess my situation is very similar to the other students, because most of people has said that neither do. But I occasionally watch TV when something big happened and I want to see it in the news and I am also use to watch some cartoon when I am having dinner, so I guess that my favourite channels would be the news and the cartoon ones. My favourite cartoons are 'Adventure Time' and 'Sponge Bob'. I am not joking because I have proved many times that I have a better enjoyment of my dinner when I am watching Sponge Bob than when I am watching anything else on TV. On the contrary, I think the worst programmes for a good digestion are these chat shows about gossips that often only talk about the current reality show of the same channel. So, you could guess that I never have considered being a contestant on any reality show.

Talking about content rating, I guess there are some type of content ratings in TV, but I never have realized. I know there are content ratings on movies, TV series, music or video games but I am not sure if there are a content rating for all the programmes on TV. For example, I never have seen a content rating in the news, although sometimes they show scenes not allowed for all the public. But I remember seeing a coloured age number in the corner of the screen in some very popular competition shows as ‘big brother’ or ‘censured in the jungle’. I guess this must be the minimum age recommended to see adult people doing crazy and senseless things to win some money and fame.

Finally, about remote controls, as I have only one TV in my living-room, I have only one, but I have also a mouse, a keyboard and two gamepads.

Thanks for your great message Pau! I think lots of people have moved away from TV, the choice is limited and a lot of the programmes are of zero interest. To me anyway. Like you I hate those chat shows where they discuss other programmes of the same channel. Or where they bring in someone who is a friend of a celebrity, to gossip about their friend. Horrendous! :)
Some comments for you:
since I was plugged a computer = Since I have plugged a computer into my living room screen.
because most of people has said that neither do.= You can say: Most people said the same thing.
I am also use to watch = This is not possible. You can say: I often watch.... I usually watch..
The rest was good!
see you,
Pieter

Hi Pieter!

After reading - I was plugged a computer -, I've realized that I really didn't check very well the text before posting.

Thank you for the feedback!

best
