Primetime Shows

As I was sitting in front of our computer, thinking what to write as an entry to my blog, I overheard the intense conversations outside. And these conversations are from the television. When I went out, I saw that it was a teleserye; and I decided to write an article about this.
“Super Inggo”, “Sana Maulit Muli”, “Maging Sino Ka Man”, “Bakekang”, “Princess Hours”. These are just some of the famous teleseryes nowadays. Teleseryes are drama shows shown every night. This started many years ago, and some Asian shows, especially Korean ones, are frequently shown in the Philippines. Many people get hooked up with these. But can these shows help the people? What good do they bring to us?
Every night, my sister always watches these shows. She always holds our remote control. My classmates in school always talk about these shows. But I cannot ride with them because I rarely watch these shows. They even look for these in the Internet in our Computer class. They even sing their theme songs in the classroom. Some of them even have a copy of the show in a CD.
These kinds of shows indeed produce entertainment. Many people can relate to these shows because it is happening in the actual life experiences. These shows also cause relaxation from all the stress of everyday life to a person. Some people forget their problems simply by just seeing their idols in the television.
But I do believe that these kinds of shows must be televised in the afternoon where the only people who watch television are those bored ones. There should be less shows of this kind in the evening because almost everyone watches television dusring the night. This can sometimes cause distraction in the study habits of children. They do not study their school lessons anymore because they prefer to watch these kinds of shows. Using the same actors and actresses can also cause people to really like a certain actor or actress and idolize him or her. But we know that, that is a sin. There shall be no idols except God, the Supreme Being. I am not against the showing of these shows or something. My point is just to lessen the number of shows of this type in the primetime.
My advice to television networks is to televise informative shows about science, math or even social events during the night. This can be helpful to people who are less educated. If there are many educational shows in the night, many people could learn many things. And the children will not be influenced to following what they see on the television. Educational shows might even help them in their studies. But to avoid boredom, a teleserye can be placed in between educational shows.
I know that these shows were reviwed by the MTRCB so there is nothing wrong with them. It is just that they are everywhere, influencing all people. I just hope that these shows influence the people in a good way.
