subject: Tune Into Any Of These Television Shows [print this page] We use out television for entertainment, that's what it was designed for. We suspend belief for an hour or so while we enjoy being entertained. Some believe, however, that TV rots the brain cells with all the violence etc. Some shows, however, still have morals and teach us lessons for life. These are the best of those.
The first one is Psych; this is a networked crime drama which I think is great fun. A guy who's memory is photographic and wits are razor sharp passes himself off as a psychic to solve mysteries and crimes.
This show keeps me very entertained and also gets my deductive juices flowing. This is a show that really gets you using your brain.
Another show I never miss is the ABC show Super Nanny. If you miss it, there are re runs every day on the Style network. Jo Frost is the super nanny who tries to educate parents as to how to handle their unruly kids.
Jo is a British nanny who has had to deal with many horrors in her time and now educates parents how to deal with issues coolly and calmly. No parent is perfect, but she points them in the right direction.
There are many factual programs that aim to raise peoples self esteem and improve themselves. What not to wear takes people who, quite frankly, don't know what fashion sense means, and show them how to dress to feel better about them selves.
I don't believe in judging a book by its cover, but they so often are. Tips to improve how you look can have a huge bearing on the rest of your life.
If you take all three of the CSI's, Law and Order and NCIS you have a set of programs that never fail to both educate and entertain, I find shows involving the legal system fascinating and these all deliver on that score. Conflicting interests, ethics and many other issues are interwoven into each show to create great television.
