Analyzing the Reality of TV

Many shows shown on TV today are realistic and not realistic in their own ways. TV shows are real in the way they show the experiences the average person will go through. However those same shows add things to make the show more interesting which is where they can get non realistic. For example the show House is realistic in the way that it shows medical cases that require more attention than others. Despite that House is not realistic in the way it shows extensive drama with every case. Nevertheless the show would not retain its popularity if it showed a typical day in a hospital, because the show would get boring. In conclusion TV shows are realistic and not realistic but this is essential to the developement of television. TV shows need to be both realistic and not realistic, because if everything was realistic then TV would be boring, however it is good to have a little reality because it allows people to relate to what they watch.
