Popularity

The most popular drama shows out there today are: Lost, Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, House, Gossip Girl, Heroes, One Tree Hill, CSI, ER, Desperate Housewives, Fringe, Private Practice, and Skins. The top five highest rated drama shows would be : House, Heroes, Lost, Dexter and Monk.
Some of those shows I have never even heard of, so it is kind of weird that they are some of the most popular or highest rated. However, the show I am committed to, Grey’s Anatomy, is the third most popular and Desperate Housewives ranks at 11th most popular.
The most popular drama television series is Lost is rated 9.2 which beat out Smallville and Grey’s Anatomy at 9.0. “Lost is about how after Oceanic Air Flight 815 tears apart in mid-air and crashes on a Pacific island on September 22nd 2004, its survivors are forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discover that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing with electricity and hot & cold running water, a group of island residents known as "The Others," and a mysterious man named Jacob. The survivors also find signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock and the ruins of an ancient statue, as well as bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative -- a group of scientific researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past.” http://www.tv.com/lost/show/24313/summary.html
The second most popular is Smallville. “Smallville tells the tale of a teenage Clark Kent in the days before he was Superman. It is the town where he came from where very strange things started happening with his arrival in a spaceship in the midst of a meteor storm of green rocks. Clark must deal with a variety of individuals given powers by the green rocks, keep his powers a secret, cope with his friendship with a young Lex Luthor, and balance the two girls in his life, Chloe and Lana. The show also shows us how Lex Luthor develops from a friend of Clark's and kinda-okay guy to (presumably) the villain who will plague Superman in his later years.” http://www.tv.com/smallville/show/1718/summary.html
--I don’t think I would be interested in either of these shows at all , but they are the two most popular shows so they must be good. I might have to watch an episode of each one to see how good they really are but then again I probably shouldn’t just in case I really do like them and become addicted like I am to Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and The Secret Life of an American Teenager.

Intro

Hi, my name is Lydia Bremmon and I am from Britton, South Dakota which is about 100 miles from here. I am a freshman here at Valley City State University. My planned major is elementary education. For this class ,I plan to blog about the different drama series on television. I have three different shows on television that I have to see every week. If I miss it the day it is on, I have to watch it the next day online. I'm not totally addicted like those people that drop everything to watch their shows but I could be considered somewhat addicted.
The three shows that I watch are: Desperate Housewives on Sunday, The Secret Life of an American Teenager on Mondays, and Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays. Desperate Housewives, on the ABC channel, is about a group of people and all the drama that goes on in their neighborhood. The Secret Life of an American Teenager on ABC Family is about this 15-year old girl who gets pregnant and Grey's Anatomy, which is also on ABC, is a show about doctors and all their drama that they go through with inside and outside of the hospital( Seattle Grace Hospital) in which they work at. So, pretty much for the rest of my blogs for this Communications class I will be blogging about different things that pertain to drama series on television.
