As a child I loved watching television. When I would get in trouble, my punishment would involve me not being able to watch my favorite television shows. I was really never interested in watching bad television shows, so it wasn’t a problem. My problem as a child was watching too much T.V. I remember my friends and I would get together every Friday night to watch all the shows that came on. It was a series called T.G.I.F and I can still remember to this day the good times I had with my friends. I also had good family bonding times watching television. My family and I would all sit down together to watch the Disney movie that came on Sunday nights. It was a way for my busy family to kick back and enjoy a movie all together. I would have to say that watching television may have taken my time away from studying or doing homework, but it did have a positive influence on my after watching characters on T.V.
One of my favorite T.V shows was Full House. I first started out watching the show because the cute little girl on the show was named Michelle and I thought it was cool that we had the same name. I also liked the show because the characters were funny and always made me laugh. Not only did the show make a giggle at all the funny parts and shed a tear or two at the sad parts, but it also taught me good lessons and values. On the show the daughters D.J, Stephanie, and Michelle would somehow always seem to get in a sticky situation. Through the show I would learn the lesson that the three girls would learn at the end of the show. Sometimes I would feel like I was in the show and in trouble too when they would make the wrong decision. This show had a good ending every time and that was why I liked it. I also liked this show because it was different than all the others. Most girls aren’t raised by their dad, uncle, and their dad’s friend. The girls in the show were positive role models because they did well in school, didn’t drink or do drugs, and they would be considerate of others. Like any other show it went off the air and I remember my sister and I being devastated because we absolutely loved that show. Still today we will get together and watch the reruns that come on abc family network.
Another show that I grew up watching was Boy Meets World. I liked watching this show because it had a good plot between Topanga and Corey and their friends. I always wanted to know what happened next and the characters always made me laugh out loud. This show was also easy to relate to because it was a close family that had their share of problems too. I could also relate to the friends in the show too. When the friends would have a disagreement they would always find a solution to the problem with Mr. Feeney’s help. I also learned a thing a two about relationships after I watched this show. I thought the perfect couple was Topanga and Corey. I liked watching their relationship grow with the show and how the friends would help the two stay together through the tough times. Each character was unique and I was able to relate to them in some way during the show. After watching each episode, I learned a valuable lesson from the kids and I definitely took something from the show to help me in difficult situations.
I also grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I would watch this show religiously and would never miss an episode. I even had all the computer games that I would play all the time. I thought it was so cool that Sabrina was a witch and had magical powers. She was a good role model to look up to also. She wasn’t a popular girl, but she was nice to others and wasn’t a bully to anyone. She was smart and worked hard to make good grades in school and she would do anything to help someone. There would be times where she made the wrong decision but her aunts would be there to steer her in the right direction. I couldn’t help but laugh at her silliness and the talking cat Salem.
Watching T.V was and still is a favorite pass time of mine. When I was little I loved to watch my favorite television and now that I’m older I can see the good that came from watching them. I learned valuable lessons that I didn’t even know I was taking in when I was watching them. I thought I was just enjoying a good T.V show, but really I was learning how to become a better person.
