cultural review

I think the way I watch television now has changed dramatically. Before I never looked for high culture or pop culture themes, but now I find myself looking for such themes. Now I look at certain shows and and try to analysis what is the intent of the show. Before I just used to watch a show to see if it was interesting or not. The whole chapter about high and pop culture really made me look at shows differently. I now have a clear understanding of what producers are trying to convey to the audience. Before I never thought about a show being high or pop culture. In class when "The Cosby Show" was pointed out as being high culture, that expanded my thinking. I could fully understand why "The Cosby Show" would be considered high culture, and a show like "Flavor of Love" would be pop culture. These fundametnal differences are what changed my perception. I understand now the intent of the producers. Before I never looked, and I really didn't care. Now I understand and perceive things differently.
