Blog Assignment #2: The Fascination of a TV Series

In 1990, I was seven years old and remember with love how we all; mother, father, grandmother and grandfather sat down together on the Sunday evenings and watched Dallas. It was my favourite TV series. No other show has come close to the great memories I have of that.

Whether it was the series or our family meeting that made it so special I can not decide but I think it was the hole aura about us having something we all enjoyed watching. I remember my granddad laughing when J.R said something mean or sarcastic. Not that my grandfather was anything like J.R, he just found it very amusing how anyone could behave like that. The worst part was that J.R seemed to get away with it all the time, if I don’t remember it wrong. Was he ever nice?

Nowadays, I don’t have the time to follow a TV-series every week. The great (?) thing about soaps like “Days of our Lives” or “Glamour” is that you can watch an episode one day and if you haven’t seen it for a couple of days or sometimes weeks, you still know what has happened.

One TV series I sometimes watch is Desperate Housewives. I find it quite amusing. They have their differences and you can recognize a bit of yourself in either one of them. Though they are extreme in different ways, Bree who is a housewife to the top of her fingers or Susan who seem to be a bit neurotic, you always feel with them and recognize things in the ordinary life.

  1. Hello Sofie!

    I really enjoyed reading your blog! It was easy to read and trouble-free to follow your thoughts. I can see you and your family in the sofa and your grandfather laughing at JR! When I read your introduction and your first paragraph about Dallas, I remember and laugh for myself! I bear in my mind the first programme of Dallas when Bobby and Pamela drive in their red car and Pamela is going to visit Southfork Ranch for the first time. I thought they were so beautiful and fascinating. It was my favourite TV-programme also!

    I think you have done a very good job with this blog and your introduction and paragraphing are perfect in my opinion. Sometimes are the sentences a little too long maybe. Perhaps you could have done a summary of your thoughts through the blog in the end. I can’t find any special grammatical errors!

    You are nearly professional!!!

    Many hugs

  2. Hi Sofie,

    God, do you have an idea how many memories who just flashed by? Wow, what a stroll down the Memory Lane!My family also gathered in the sofa as yours.

    I enjoyed reading your blog very much. You write with an amazing flow which makes it easy to read and catches the reader instantly. Just like Ewa I have nothing bad to say about your blog either except for one misspelt word. I honestly think you mean "whole" not "hole" (=hål). Your paragraphing is also, in my eyes, lovely and without anything to nag about. Just keep up the good work, is my advice to you!

    Kind wishes,

    Marie
