Quiz Show Satire

Improved Essays
My first review will be on the hilarious and probably not very medically accurate sitcom Scrubs. The show ran nine glorious seasons (although some may say the last season was vastly sub-par) and survived cancellation at least once. That’s 182 episodes that made us laugh, cry and follow along with the addicting characters marriages, babies and promotions. Besides Grey’s Anatomy this is where I’m sure college students learned their basic medical knowledge. I also assume now whenever I’m in a hospital if every doctor has dated each other at one time or another.

The main character of the show is Doctor John Dorian, better known as J.D. and he is nothing if not likeable. Sometimes that neediness gets in his way but that’s where most of the humor

    This video effectively conveys its message. It is clear what the argument is and an assortment of evidence and techniques that successfully supports the points made and expands on them. There is no shadow thesis to read between. The message is given in a satirical video but is still clear and simple if you understand satire and if not, it’s clear what Pendleton is trying to express - give people homes and you end homelessness. Lloyd Pendleton delivers this message factually with information to back up his claims (evidence throughout the video not just him talking) and is a seemingly trustworthy man as he is the director of the homeless task force.…

    Telenovelas Satire

    • 2 Pages

    An action/crime series such as Narcos or Metastasis seemed to always be the easiest genre to attract both United States and Latin America. The attraction from the series comes from the action and thriller rather than the script and chemistry. However, in order to attract the Latino community with series that are comedy, romance or drama, the show needs to bring somewhat of a resemblance to a Telenovela and familiarity. Telenovelas are the reflection to what Latinos are currently interested in.…
