Drama in TV and Real Life

hello there. LOL. very well said my friend! i hate television drama, even in the movies. they seem to have similar plot, over and over. different scenes. one plot, one ending. i rarely see drama with unique plot and ending. i think writers can think of anything anymore? haha. not to mean your friends, dude. i'm pertaining to most other drama writers nowadays. anyway, just don't watch if you don't bother watching such programs. it will ruin your day. cheers!

Hello ladyheminway. I used to watch several soap operas every day. When I was in high school we had to be sure to run home to be sure to see the ones that were on late in the afternoon. It finally got so that watching once a week was enough to keep up with what was going on. It seemed that all of the soap operas fallowed pretty much the same story line. There was a time when soap operas were on all day and then they started having at least one almost every night. There two that were bit different. One was more of a detective and Dr show. Now it seems that there are very few soap operas on here any more. One of the old evening soap operas look like it is coming back. There may be a lot more on the HBO cable but I don't have that. The thing about Soap operas is that too many people see them as being normal and that life should fallow them. Since the soap operas have gone the way of the dinosaur They are replaced with reality shows. There are getting to be too many of them too. I do li9ke a good drama show but not many of them made these days. No need for me to watch soap operas since I live with three teenagers and so get plenty of drama here at home.

honestly, i cannot be bothered to watch soap operas, but i have lately caught some of downton abby which is a British soap opera but i find if you don't watch it every week, you miss a lot so now i am hopelessly behind. really, the only drama i watch on tv is Law and Order.

I think people just enjoy watching drama since they can relate to it. And it really releases emotions inside them, they can even relate some of the villain with those in their lives. it also gives them hope, when the protagonist rises and succeeds, which also give them hope in their lives.

Love in drama is so so so romantic, especially in Korean drama...so that i love to watch drama on TV not love drama in the real life...

Well a much awaited discussion.. I feel that soap operas are not bad unless and until the content of the show is gripping. Soap operas are meant to deliver family values, relationships and certain areas of life that we often face. But nowadays soap operas are becoming patchy and dry in content in the wake of getting TRP and publicity.. Soap operas should keep intact the content that they are meant to show and not deviate from the original content.. In India, nowadays many social and uninhibited issues are being flaunted by the soap operas which is commendable..and i would appreciate if these soap operas continue to show the same content without any further modification.. In the end, i would like to say that soap operas which used to rule the small screens are slowly loosing their global touch because of their excess display of drama and emotions. they should rather retain their originality and then only, the era of soap operas would be back...!!

I use to watch soap opera a lot years ago. Now I rarely watch, as am so easy now. Its hard to get everything done now. There certainly are less of them in the morning and afternoon than years ago.

I don't watch a lot of soap operas. I more prefer reality shows because they seem to be more realistic, (although who really knows lol). Like you said, soap operas can be really tiring and redundant. They would get really old really fast for me! However, I do like watching the drama on TV because I'd like to think I don't have a lot of real-life drama going on. Even if there's drama going on in my life, I like watching reality shows because it makes me feel better haha.

I like watching movies that has something to do with real life. A movie that you learn something to fix your life or something that inpsire you to move on with life becasue you are not alone having lots of problems in your life.

I sort of like drama. Because the drama that is going on on TV is never anything like the drama going on in real life. The drama in my life is a lot smaller than the drama in, for example, Desperate Housewives or something to that extent. lol. My life is pretty boring though and that's why I will sometimes watch shows like that, for the excitement of it!

I use to watch drama series, but that was long ago. Well, those drama as we think are only scripted- do happens in real life. We never knew someone in our neighborhood has the same life story that we thought it's just a piece of script from tv drama series. Life in real is full of drama- action-and even X-files :p

I don't love watching them although I like watching them every now and them. I think people like watching soap operas (and any drama) because they like seeing all that drama happening to other people and characters and not to them. Plus, it is funny to see the unrealistic story lines, like when people keep coming back to life (and in the wierdest ways...)!

series of real life bombard us on a channel, but from time to time look nice with others too have problems!

Some dramas are really in Real life.. its kinda inspration for the writter so they can write stories about it
