Gradually over the course of many episodes, viewers come to feel that they 'know' a persona.<BR/><BR/><BR/>So there you have it. People glue themselves to the TV because they are friends with the little people trapped inside. =)<BR/>It's probably very similar to emotional eating. Of course this doesn't address the number of shows that have a strong sexual theme such as "Sex in the City" or "Friends". My theory on their popularity is that people want to feel "risky" and sex is a topic that can be funny, sad, happy and exciting that everyone can relate to-even if your that awkward girl/boy down the street.Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518520509442567590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333690.post-12493477775230951532008-11-13T20:10:00.000-08:002008-11-13T20:10:00.000-08:00Ha!

I will totally and completely forget I'm working out when I'm watching that show...well, except for those dang commercials.<BR/><BR/>You should check out Dr. Laura's blog- she also just posted about this, funny huh?<BR/><BR/>So many people blog about the shows they watch and I have no idea how they can even keep up with them, what a waste of time and life- go get one and you'll find there's more to life than one lame sex joke after another.Elisabeth Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745195588973880964noreply@blogger.com
