what's with tv show?!

“Mula Sa Puso, Maging Sino Ka Man, Pangako Sa’yo, Maria Flordeluna…” are you a T.V. fanatic? Probably, those words are familiar to you. How about “Fushigi Yuugi, Naruto, Sakura, Dragon Ball Z and Inuyasha”?
Those mentioned above are just some of the soap operas or telenovelas and animé shows that we always encounter everyday. These are shows that TV addicts do not want to miss watching. What are in these shows that a lot became involved with them?
Ever since I was a kid, I am always fond of watching television. And, what is television if there are no shows, right? I am always fond in soap operas, animé shows, game shows, documentaries, and a whole bunch of them! Yet, two of these shows are most intriguing for me: the animés and the soap operas.
Animés is famous for the Japanese animations. This is a mixture of creativity in visual arts which includes, cartooning, sketching and computer graphics. According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, animation is a motion picture made from a series of drawings simulating motions by means of slight progressive changes. Simply, animations are like drawings that come to life. Instead of living creatures moving, it is the drawings that squirm about. Surely, people involved in making animations are creative and excellent enough, right? With their creative minds, they made smiles to a lot of viewers, especially to the children.
The soap operas or telenovelas are also famous for people who want suspense and drama out there. The soap opera depicts a story especially of the serious type. And, instead of moving pictures, it is time for the real people. Actors and actresses are the ones who portray the roles of the drama. Common topics of soap operas are romance, struggle from rags to riches, conflict between the rich and the poor, clash between belief, and others. It may be about lovers who are separated by family and other unfortunate events but still be destined to be together in the end part of the story. Probably, people keep on watching telenovelas because of its great touch to lives of the majority, just like poverty and the struggles of achieving success. Soap operas may somehow inspire people to work hard and be eager to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Television shows like soap operas and animations have been viewed by millions of people. They have been there to make us smile and laugh; to touch our souls and make us cry; to inspire us to strive harder; and to thrill us from unexpected events. They may serve as good influence o the other way around. Stories in soap operas and animations may be fictional, and it is for us, the viewers to choose among this sea of shows. It is up to us to follow or not to follow what these shows presented. So, like a jury in a trial, you must be the one to judge objectively what you are viewing or watching in televisions. And, don’t let fictional things in TV blind you.
