Studying TV
Can there be a TV show that is successful, but not based on guns? Or sex? Could there be a family show that is successful based on character… family values… an interesting story? “Just keep them sitting long enough for the ads,” I know.
These are a few series that succeeded, based on values.
Little House on the Prairie: “Immensely popular in reruns in syndication.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_House_on_the_Prairie_%28TV_series%29
The Waltons: Sort-of a joke, I hear it’s worse than Little House but, seems like history of TV :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068149/
Northern Exposure: Emmy, Golden Globe nominations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Exposure
