Break it down!

Hey guys! So I created a poll last night, to find out what types of TV shows most interest you.  I wanted to know what my viewers are in to.  So, I asked my English class and my friends on Facebook to respond.  Eleven awesome peers, around the ages of 17-20 took the poll, and here are the results:

54% like Primetime dramas
18% like Reality shows
18% like Sketch comedy shows
9% just don’t like the TV

  To the one person who doesn’t watch TV…Boo you! Lol jkJ I can understand why you choose to leave it off….let’s be honest, it is super distracting.

Darn that box!
  Seems as though Reality shows and sketch comedies are tied for second! People like to laugh every now and then, and I think shows like SNL, and late night comedies, are great ways to just laugh at society.  We can’t always be uptight! 


We were SNL crazy during the 2008 election


On an episode of Fear Factor

  Reality shows, well, shows with nobodies who want their 15 minutes of fame are entertaining in a weird way.  I mean we’re watching a bunch of normal people, like us, do strange or sometimes awesome things, usually for money.  Remember Fear Factor! My favorite right now is Amazing Race, though.


   Then there’s also the reality shows that document the lives of celebrities.  Catch Mel B’s- A Scary World, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, etc.


  Oh the Drama! I had a feeling this would be favored by the vast majority.  Everyone has their favorite drama they like to get hooked on.  A lot of teen girls love Gossip Girl…Chase Crawford perhaps!   




For the stay at home moms out there-Desperate Housewives.  And everyone likes a little crime and order-CSI: NY, Law and Order, The Closer, etc.  The music geeks love Glee (I’m included!)  I mean there’s such a variety of primetime shows, that there’s practically one for everyone.




What's Your Favorite show?

  1. How did you know? Chase Crawford is theeee HOTTEST guy on Gossip Girl!! I've never missed a single episode of that show and don't plan to either. I think watching T.V. is important because after spending an entire day at school we need to relax our minds a bit. I'm glad that there are a variety of shows to choose from on television, so we don't have to watch the same things all the things. Sometimes I like to watch drama, other times laugh a little, other times romance and once in a blue moon watch something where I have to think and use my head. I thought your survey was very unique in that it shows that people don't just like to watch one type of T.V. shows but all types of shows are favored by the viewer.

  2. lol lucky guess! But I agree with your logic in watching Tv. It seriously is a stress reliever. You turn on the Tv and just escape into an other world, and forget about your current worries. Even if your going through something in your life, a show on TV might help you get through it, by showing someone else's similar experience and how they overcame it.
    It's great that you diversify what you watch. I do the same thing, because always watching a particular show can lead to boredom.
