Why Are Some Women So Addicted to Soap Operas?
You might not think that many women of today have much time to lounge around in front of the television during the day and watch all of the day time soaps that are on so many of the major networks. However, their ratings show that this is evidently not the always the case. Although the first airing of the soaps are during the day on the major networks there is another channel that airs them at night and they are dedicated solely to soap operas and other serial shows that women love.
What is the big attraction that some women have to these television programs? If they are stay at home moms and have kids in school during the day, it might be the only time they have to sit down and relax and enjoy a few television shows. They might be an older lady that stays at home whose children are already grown and moved out of the home. There are a lot of ladies that enjoy these shows and probably for different reasons.
After all, who would not like to watch the incredible exciting lives that the soap stars portray in the imaginary existence? They have as many lovers as they want, they remarry repeatedly until they get it right or not and they can even come back from the dead a time or two and look just as incredible as they did beforehand. They get to have a lot of money and travel to exotic places and wear the greatest looking clothes, cars and homes. They lead the most seemingly enjoyable lives filled with all sorts of intrigue. It might be be fantasy of many women to get to live like this.
Perhaps it is just because of all of the reasons mentioned that they enjoy these soaps so much. Perhaps they do not have the opportunity in their lives to have very much fun and adventure. One thing is for sure, they never will have any adventure other than that they watch on the television as long as they are sitting there on the sofa. Perhaps if they got outside into the real world and try to drum up some excitement of their own, they would have better things to do than be such big fans of people who only lead imaginary lives. No disrespect intended to the soap opera because they are entertaining, but there is nothing more entertaining than enjoying a real life.
TV Theme Songs
TV theme songs are the deciding factor in the popularity of a TV show. There are many classic TV theme songs that remain fresh in the memories of the people and are hummable. Theme songs from show such as “All in the Family,” “Benny Hill,” “Mr. Ed” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” are quite popular. The popularity of TV theme songs is proved by the presence of a number of websites that have classic TV theme songs listed. People can download them and go back to memory lane to enjoy them in their original form.
TV theme songs have virtually assumed the form of a music genre on account of the effect it has on the people. The popularity of TV theme songs proves conducive in attracting the attention of an audience — retaining their interest in the show. On many occasions, the audiences wait for the show only because they love its theme song. On the other hand, high-pitched TV theme songs, when repeated and heard on regular basis, become jarring and audiences do not consider watching such TV shows.
TV theme songs need to express the theme of the show, and compliment the theme and presentation of a show. If a show revolves around a comic theme, then the song needs to have a comical tone. Similarly, a horror show may have some eerie music. Theme songs should not be mundane, or else they lose their repeat value and make the whole show dull and staid.
TV theme songs are important in the sense that they give an insight to the audience about the theme and the standard of a show and need to be catchy and appropriate.
