Reality TV makes girls more confident, inspired, but also leads them to accept bullying, bad behavior

A survey of 1,141 girls conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute examined the effects that reality TV watching has on girls ages 11 to 17. It found that “regular reality TV viewers are more confident than non-viewers” but that “regular reality TV viewers emphasize being mean and/or lying to get ahead” and “are more focused on the value of physical appearance.” More disturbingly, the survey’s results show that “Regular reality TV viewers accept and expect a higher level of drama, aggression, and bullying in their own lives as well,” and the majority of those surveyed agreed that reality TV shows “make people think that fighting is a normal part of a romantic relationship” and “make people think it’s okay to treat others badly.” The survey didn’t specify what shows girls watch, but identified them as people who are regular viewers or people who watch only sometimes or rarely/never. Impressively, the authors of the study aren’t using the results to offer a blanket vilification of ...

The IT Crowd creator confirms there will be no new series of the show

Home > Comedy > The IT Crowd creator confirms there will be no new series of the show October 22nd, 2011 by Sarah. No comments Graham Linehan, who created comedy The IT Crowd, has confirmed that the show won’t be continuing for a fifth year. Digital Spy report that he broke the news during an online chat at Reddit. He said, “I’ll say right off the bat… the bad news is no IT Crowd series five. “[The] chief reason was the fact that I just wasn’t looking forward to it the way I used to. “I felt that the last series was a nice strong point to go out on, and anything further might just be running on the spot. “You don’t do your best work when you’re running on the spot. “It feels like a natural time to wind things down. Apart from anything else, we’re probably reaching that stage where it begins to feel odd that Roy, Jen and Moss are still stuck down in that basement… “I don’t want to start giving everybody babies to make it feel like they’re moving on with their lives. My kind of ...

BBC One to show Citizen Khan

October 22nd, 2011 by Sarah. No comments The BBC has today announced that it has commission ed six 30-minute episodes of Citizen Khan, just one week after it was read at the Salford Sitcom Showcase. Produced by BBC In-House Comedy, Citizen Khan will be shot at MediaCityUK in Salford and will air on BBC One in autumn 2012. Citizen Khan is a warm family comedy set in the capital of British Pakistan – Sparkhill, Birmingham. It follows the trials and tribulations of self-appointed Muslim community leader Mr Khan (Adil Ray) and his long suffering family. Khan is a larger-than-life character, a small man with big dreams and strident opinions. Like many of us he’s struggling to make ends meet – but he’s proud of his thriftiness – witness his 1979 suit and ancient yellow Mercedes… Things would be so much easier if everyone just listened to him and followed his lead, but his obsessively house-proud wife and two feisty daughters have other ideas. Created by Adil Ray, the character Mr Khan has a...
