After arriving home from dinner Sunday night I flipped on the Television at approximately seven o’clock. I had no plans of watching anything besides the Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys football game so I figured I just play it by ear. I ended up watching a recording of Chuck, the Eagles versus Cowboys football game, Family Guy, and Fox’s ten o’clock news.
I figured since I had an hour to kill before the kick off of the Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys football game, I might as well watch the season premier of Chuck that I previously recorded Friday night. The episode started with the main character Chuck and his wife Sarah standing on a back porch of a beautiful cliff side home looking out over the Pacific Ocean. You soon understand why the couple is standing there as the camera zooms out and you see a group of men holding them at gunpoint. As they see their unfulfilled lives flash before their eyes, Chucks best friend Morgan ends up saving the day by knocking the evil henchmen unconscious with a series of complex karate moves. At this point in the episode I was think to myself, okay that was awesome I want to see more. The show if full of suspense to keep the viewers interested in the show.
I finished Chuck just in time to see the kick of the Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys football game. The Eagles dominated the play of the game and went up twenty-four to zero in the first half. The second half went along the same lines as the Eagles offense broke through the Cowboys defense and scored another touchdown and kicked a field goal. Finally late in the second half Tony Romo and his team were able to get on the board by scoring a touchdown late in the game. This resulted in a thirty four to seven loss for the Cowboys. Being an Eagles fan and having Michael Vick as quarterback of my fantasy football team, I was very excited about the outcome of the game. I can’t imagine Dallas fans were to happy with the blow out. Football is a really exciting to watch because it is so action packed.
Once the Eagles finished stomping all over the Cowboys, I started flipping through the channels to see what else was on. I ended up landing on TBS where an old episode of Family Guy was being broadcasted. The episode was about Bryan, the dog, and Stewie, the baby, attempting to renovate a house. Stewie constantly got on Bryan nerves and eventually angered him to the point where he blew up the house they were attempting to renovate. The show, as always, attempted to make fun of as many races and ethnicity’s as it could in the thirty-minute span in which it is shown. The point of the show is not to make fun of one race or ethnic group but to make fun of all of them to represent that everyone has flaws and its okay to laugh at them. By making fun of everyone, a singe person cant be offended that they are being joked about because everyone else is in the same boat as them.
Family guy gets repetitive sometimes so I switch the channel to Fox to tune into the ten o’clock news. The Fox news crew covered a story about local citizens and how they would be partaking in the upcoming Halloween event. They anchors interviewed locals and a police officer to cover the issue of mischief night. On Sunday night there was no breaking news or major headlining story, so the Fox news crew covered stories like rising gas prices, a stabbing at an elementary school, and predictions of black Friday.
All in all television that is broadcasted today isn’t too violent. The violence that is displayed generally isn’t gory or too intense. Racism isn’t displayed unless they go back to a certain time. Generally when one group is being made fun of every other group is also being laughed at also.
