Television time!

Hello everyone, today I feel like talking about the television.

In general I think that the television is a powerful tool that has an important place in today's

society. It can be used to bring people together for a cause like the Teletón, a big tv special that lasts two days, in which the people donates money for the handicapped people, and the main goal is to reach a certain amount of money. But it also can be a bad element when it is used in the wrong way, one example of this is the omission of information, or the lies that are frequently used in the news broadcasts to keep the people uninformed or preoccupied of less important things like football, instead of the real problems of the education.

I don't like chilean tv, I actually hate it, because it's frivolous and full of things that in my opinion are stupid, like the entertainment world, for an example there are five open channels, and they all have their own program dedicated to the show business, this I consider that is too much, and the people actually see them. Another thing that I already have talked a little about it are the news programmes, they are so bad, because they often lie to the people, they show a reality that is not true, and they don't even show real news sometimes, they are full with macabre and morbid news about accidents, dead people and assassinations, "sports" news that are a 90% about football, and that make about the 50% of the program, and they ALWAYS repeat the same "news" in certain dates like Halloween, Christmas and March (back to school and university).

I would improve the Chilean TV adding more cultural programs like "Tierra Adentro" or "Recomiendo Chile", or even foreign documentaries like "Man vs. Wild" (documentaries like this, not this), I would reform the news programs and add more quality series like "Dr. House", "Breaking Bad" or "Profugos", to give time to the local producers to make good series.

My favourite TV series was Dr. House, because Hugh Laurie and company were an incredibly good team of actors and actresses, I loved the character of Gregory House, his attitude and his great knowledge of strange diseases and illness, and I was often surpised because the sometimes rough moral decisions that came up in the process of trying to diagnose the diseases.
