Example: Childhood Series
Believe it or not, when I was a child there
weren't many series on TV, besides, I used to live in the 8th region, in a lost
town in the middle of nowhere and we did not receive much technology nor state
of the art cinema, theatre, cultural venues, etc.
It was the late 80's and national TV was the only
option available, and consequently, the very limited programming they
offered and the series that you could see were quite classical, the typical
Disney style, with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and my favourite: Goofy.
I cannot tell you that I really remember their
adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, but I do remember
having felt very proud after receiving positive appraisal from my parents when
I was able to properly pronounce Goofy's spanish name, which was hard for someone
mastering language in his early years.
As years went by, things changed in my life and
in the country, and in the year 1995, there was a new service arriving into the
region, it was CABLE TV!!!!! The first couple of months, and since it was a
real novelty, not many people seemed to have hired the service, and the
channels were not all yet given in Spanish. It was then when I discovered
Nickelodeon, and also Scooby Doo.
I remember I really Really REALLY loved not
understanding it all but I was happy when I realized Scooby and his gang had
solved a mystery, I was happy just by understanding even only the gist of the
episode.
Later in my life, I changed my likes from cartoons to soap operas and series, series with human beings and with more adult-like topics. My favourite has always been Friends and Seinfeld, and still nowadays I prefer series rather than cartoon, although to be honest, after letting my self be stimulated by my current students, I am developing a crave for anime series and movies.
Friends it´s hilarious, besides, Who doesn´t love Friends?!?!? Even nowadays it´s a hit on tv (and Netflix). But i prefer more dramatic series like Breaking Bad.
ReplyDeleteFollow the advice of your students and start watching anime, it's the best!
ReplyDeleteIn this moment I'm finishing watching "Friends" for second time, is my favorite serie too.
ReplyDeleteIf you liked the cartoons when you were little, the anime is the same but acquires double meaning when you grow up. If you're new at that, I strongly recommend you watch Hunter X Hunter, the 2011 version.

ReplyDeleteThis series is great, I think they do not do series like this anymore
It's incredible that Scooby Doo captivated so many generations, his stories were very entertaining and he taught us that the real monsters were humans.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite series is Friends too. It's on my Netflix list.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad, I read the blog and the comments. I never saw the "Friends". I promise see the show if i don't fail the class, like an award from myself. Ultimate Goal: without subtitles.
