I love watching the TV show Friends. It is about six friends navigating life in New York City in the 1990s. I really resonate with the TV show because I feel that it gives me a sense of calm and imbues the environment with laughter and enjoyment. I like watching it whenever I'm sad, happy or angry. So, it is really a show that you can watch anytime and anywhere. Whenever I'm travelling on flights and I have nothing else to do, I just download one episode of Friends before the flight and I watch it then. Moreover, I love watching it with my friends and family. One can watch it with anyone they want because it is rated PG-13. Although it does not air anymore and although it was set in the 90s, it is still relevant today as the lives of those six friends, the way in which they were portrayed. It is very similar to how it is now as well. I would say the show was pretty ahead of its time because they addressed a lot of issues in a very subtle and humorous way. This TV show brings me comfort more than anything else in the world and I'm so glad that I had the chance to experience this. I wish I could go back and re-watch it again without having any memory of it. One might find it tedious since it's ten seasons, but personally I find it very enjoyable.

Do you think watching TV shows can help improve language skills?

The TV show I really liked a lot was Jackie Chan and it's Adventures. It is a TV show hosted in Chitty TV. When I was a young boy, I used to watch this program only. Before 5 to 10 years ago, I found this program was very interesting. Moreover, in this program, the plot of the series was how Jackie Chan tattoos some enemies with his mantra stones. The mantra stone is a kind of stone that has been used throughout the series, which is really fascinating and more interesting to watch. Each mantra stone has their own power. Moreover, there are 4 main characters in the series. I liked Jackie Chan very much. I watched this series with my friends and cousins. I remember whenever I got school holidays, I, myself and my cousin watched the show entirely throughout the day. It gives me good feel and nostalgia feel.

Follow up questions


What other TV shows did you enjoy watching as a child?
Besides Jackie Chan and his Adventures, I also enjoyed shows like Dragon Ball Z and Tom and Jerry. They were entertaining and had great storylines. Watching them with friends made it even more fun, and I still remember the excitement they brought during my childhood.

How do you think watching TV shows impacts children's development?
I believe watching TV shows can have both positive and negative impacts. On one hand, they can enhance creativity and provide valuable lessons. On the other hand, excessive screen time might lead to a lack of physical activity. It's important to balance TV time with other activities.

Do you think the shows you watched as a child influence your preferences today?
Absolutely! The shows I watched as a child shaped my taste in entertainment. I still enjoy action and adventure genres, and I appreciate shows that have strong character development and engaging plots, much like the ones I loved back then.

10 years ago I came across this TV show called Saregamappa in Kannada language. I started watching this program because I was a huge fan of a singer named Vijay Prakash. Later when I started watching the movie, I found out it to be so natural and the singers were really good and it was a very smoothing experience to me. Moreover, this show used to come every weekend where I could enjoy this show with my family, especially with my dad. My dad likes to listen to music, especially the old music. In this show there were competitions like for each week there were different genres given. Especially when the old genre was given as a theme or task, myself and my dad really enjoyed those things. This maintained a very good environment in my family and we had a time to discuss about these things. We spent a lot of time with each other due to our hectic schedules. We have no time to meet each other often. So at the weekend this was kind of relaxing and having more time with each other and enjoying together.

Follow up questions


What other TV shows do you enjoy watching with your family?
Besides Saregamappa, I enjoy watching shows like The Voice and Indian Idol. These shows also feature music competitions and allow us to bond over our shared love for music. We often discuss the performances and even try to sing along, which makes for a fun family activity.

How has watching TV shows together impacted your family relationships?
Watching TV shows together has strengthened our family bonds. It provides a platform for discussions and shared experiences, especially in our busy lives. It allows us to connect over common interests and creates lasting memories, making our weekends more meaningful.

Do you think music competitions on TV influence young singers today?
Absolutely! Music competitions like Saregamappa inspire young singers by showcasing their talent on a big platform. They provide exposure and motivate aspiring artists to pursue their dreams. Additionally, they help in discovering new music trends and genres, influencing the music industry.

So, I am not interested in watching TV shows, but I am interested in watching shows on the OTT platforms, specifically anime. Anime can be described as a TV show which refers to an adult version of cartoons. It has a separate character story which has originated from Japan. The main reason I like to watch anime is because it addresses real-world issues which has not been addressed in multiple TV shows. There is a fair narrative about many things. It addresses some real-world issues and we can go from a variety of emotions, from sadness, happiness, to anger in a single season. The prime example is One Piece, it's an Japanese anime and the story revolves around a person who wants to become the next Pirate King. In his adventure, he faces many obstacles like government interference, betrayal, etc. It addresses real-world situations like the food scarcity, dictatorship, etc.

Well, I am a kind of person who would prefer reading books or taking a long walk rather than watching some series. But yes, sometime I prefer to watch series and one of my favorite series would be Squid Game. My genre is mystery, psycho killer, thriller type of movies. I prefer to watch Squid Game because it is entertaining. It has lots of mysteries in it. So, it basically has three episodes. First episode was released during lockdown time where I got this information of Squid Game because it was so much trending on internet, especially on Instagram. So, I thought, okay, let's give it a shot. Let's try it. Let's experience what it is actually about. And the worst thing was my family was in front of me and here I have opened the series on Netflix called Squid Game. And in the start, there was a lot of violence. So, my mom restricted me from watching such series because she thinks it can damage your mental and emotional abilities. But I feel it cannot. And I have more interest in it. So, I prefer watching such series rather than watching some romantic kind of series because I don't find them practical. So, yes, whenever my family is not around, I prefer watching Squid Game. Currently, I am on third episode of second series. There was a time when I completed the whole series a night because it was so interesting. So, yes, I would prefer.

My favorite TV show and I like to watch all the time is Javadoss. It will be streamed in ATV and it's a Telugu comedy language in which there are several teams and each team will perform a skit to laugh and the winner who make laugh will get an award at the end of the show. It will be happened once a week every Thursday at 9.30 p.m. I'll watch it with my parents and we'll relax for the whole night which made me laugh and additionally I like why I love to watch it is because it makes me feel relaxed after the whole week work and also and I enjoy to see the stand-up comedy

A TV show that I really enjoy watching is Modern Family. It is a situational comedy based on a blended family. I watched it in the first year of college alone when I was having trouble making friends and the show just felt like a warm hug. I watched most of the series in a go. In one month I was done with 5 seasons and it has a lot of seasons and a lot of episodes as well so it's not really a show you would binge watch but I just kept watching and watching. It makes me laugh. It has a really good blend of humour and in-depth story which touches your emotions. It is about familial bonds and complicated family situations that one can relate with. Everybody brings their own family drama and so I think everybody would be able to relate to the show in one way or another because there are multiple storylines going on in it. One thing that I really love about the show is how accepting it is. There is multiple representation like homosexual people, working mothers, Latinas and so on. I think there is something for everyone in the show and above anything it just makes you feel comforted and it is that comfort show that you can just put on any random episode at any time while I am eating and I would enjoy it. I have to say the acting is top notch and I keep re-watching it again and again.

Basically, I don't watch TV. But whenever I switch on TV, when I'm getting bored, I just watch some music channels. But recently, I discovered a TV show in Tamil, which is Mahabharata. It's an epic story of a kingdom of Pandavas and Krishna, which is telecasting in a channel named Vijay TV. I'm really loving that show. It's really good. They stream that series in the morning as well as evening. Even though I don't get time to watch in the morning due to my office hours, I make sure that I complete my task as soon as possible. And I watch that show during my evening hours. So, this is the one show that I'm watching. And other than that, I only see cricket, IPL, Test cricket and 2020 match. That's it.
