The Last-ing Impression...

As my blogging entries come to a close, I would like to thank everyone for taking time to browse and read through my posts. For those of you who left comments, thank you for your feedback and suggestions. They were greatly appreciated.
I enjoyed my time spent researching this subject. I am an avid TV Land fan, but as they say, "You learn something new every day." I had the opportunity to read about actors and their lives, different shows, and comparisons between classic television and TV today.
I also had the chance to summarize and provide my own opinion concerning Mr. Gary Hoppenstand's article entitled "Me TV". In his piece, Hoppenstand expressed his disgruntlement with television today, feeling as though it is based solely upon participant humiliation and embarrassment. Hoppenstand finds it important that viewers today have the power to construct their own television schedules, if not content with reality TV today.
Classic television brought about several ideas to both past generations, as well as, people in today's society. Shows from the past set the stage for the evolution of television and the transformation of audiences of all ages. Television has evolved into today's society, constantly changing for the pleasure of its viewers.
For example, I Love Lucy began as a thirty minute comedy between husband and wife. A battle of fame between Ricky and Lucy often led to hilarious conflict. Shows such as I Love Lucy paved the way for hilarious comedies, such as, Everybody Loves Raymond. Ray and his wife, Debra, jokingly fight through struggles of everyday life. Raymond and his wife enjoy their life with their children, with occasional interruptions from Raymond's parents. This hilarious comedy has evolved from the days of I Love Lucy and shows like it will continue to change in accordance to their viewers.
In the world of animation, cartoons have progressed from The Jetsons to today's Simpson family. Cartoons, which were based mainly on the entertainment of children, are now viewed by all ages. Providing humor understood by children, teenagers and adults, cartoons today have advanced in both idea and appearance. With brighter colors and more definite lines, cartoons today appeal to the senses.

Ultimately, television producers and writers have adjusted television to accommodate its viewers. There are pieces of classic television that will never be forgotten and have left a lasting impression on television features to come. As television today continues to change, always remember the source of the change.
