Cable TV – what the characters are watching serials Catherine … – Politics

 

For the heroines of watching TV series Gilmore Girls is not only a way of life – it’s almost like a religion.

Have you ever wondered what the characters are doing serials when I do not have anything interesting to do? When just one not murdered anyone, there is no conspiracy for scheming, city management, the audience for amusement? The answer is simple – watch the series, just like us.

American and English pop culture is full of references to serials – more or less visible from the memories in one sentence, the make the previous roles of actors, the famous parody production. Here are a few examples of the role played by series in the series. And at the very beginning you have to mention that this is not an attempt to discharge all references (this would be then extremely long entry) – rather an attempt to examine the phenomenon.

It’s hard to imagine “The Big Bang Theory” without references to the products of popular culture – mostly writers refer to the classic sci-fi television, or the “Star Trek” and “Doctor Who”. “Star Trek” plays a special role in the TV series (especially TOS , or The Original Series) mainly due to the similarities between Sheldon and Spock. Heroes do not just discuss about the characters from the show, but also in one of the episodes are dressed as their favorite characters. Another example of a reference to the series is the episode where the characters are trying to watch “Doctor” with their girlfriends, but – alas – they are not interested in the production and consider it in advance for the stupid and weird. What kind of sad, considering how many fans have serial. Apparently the creators of TBBT not occurred to the “Doctor Who” may seem attractive to someone who is not an absolute nerdem.Oczywiście could not miss also references to “Game of Thrones” – in one scene, the characters are wondering whether to buy a a replica of the sword of the show. Our heroes surely also viewed “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” – can attest to the fact even enthusiasm, which is shown when the train accidentally met well-known from the show Summer Glau. Of course this is just a few examples from a long list of serial references – online list of all the movies and series, referred to by the characters TBBT, now has 2,663 positions, and probably still growing.


next after “The Big Bang Theory” television series, which specializes in nawiązaniach to other production, is a “Community” – all thanks to Abed, one of the students who have extensive knowledge about the culture popularnej.Paradoksalnie but one of the most interesting references is that which is not direct. Here in one of the episodes Abed is seated in front of a computer to watch a classic, adored by the British series. Abed, of course, falls in production. The joke lies in the fact that this is not how they expect the audience, “Doctor Who”, but “Inspector Spacetime” – witty adaptation of “Doctor”. Getting in here are obvious, but to come up with their own series allows “Community” to play with the idea, going beyond the mere mention of a British classic. Besides, “Community” makes references to other serials separate threads – such as love Abed to show “Cougar Town”. Topic appears in several episodes reason. At the same creator of “Community” really care that mentioned by their heroes series belonged to a different species – besides talking about “Farscape” there are references to “Glee,” “The Office” and “Lost” (this is the “Community” we find out what happened at the end of the show with one of the characters).


In recent times one of the most frequently mentioned in other productions of the series “Game of Thrones” (GoT appears everywhere). The charming – unfortunately wykasowanej of the episode – the stage show “Parks and Recreation” is an example of a very sympathetic references. The heroine of the show, Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) decides to surprise her husband Ben (played by Adam Scott) replica of the Iron Throne. As you might have guessed, is a gift look no further, and after a moment of happy Ben sits on the throne, deciding to speak for a moment like Joffrey. The scene was not included in the final episode, but circulating the web as the fulfillment of the biggest dreams of fans of “Game of Thrones” – not just sit on the Iron Throne, but also have one of their own. You have to admit, moreover, that “Game of Thrones” is lucky to references – in that “community” to hear that if they wanted to know the heroes of medieval European history, watching “Game of Thrones”. In turn, the “South Park” facts “Game of Thrones” actually become a part of history lessons. The temptation of references to the show could not resist also the author of “Suits”, where we can hear from the one of the heroes of that as a Lannister always pays his debts. Even in a charming “Bunheads” – the series so far from “Game of Thrones” as soon as possible – we will hear references to the HBO series.

sometimes get between serials arise not only from the sample mapping on the screen of certain phenomena of popular culture, but also the desire batting an eye to the viewer. One of the best references between the TV series is the relationship between “Castle” and “Firefly” – even though it never rains name of the show, Nathan Fillion (star of both “Castle” and “Firefly”) repeatedly refers to his previous role. In one scene, it appears that his knowledge of the Chinese came from “a series that once looked”; in turn, in the episode, in which you select costume for Halloween, disguises herself as a space cowboy (more or less the role he played in “Firefly”), which met with a skeptical response to his daughter, stating that a similar costume he wore five years earlier – that is, when have played in that series. Anyway, you have to admit that despite his short life “Firefly” quite often appears in nawiązaniach – even in the aforementioned “Community” heroes they agree that in the event of death of one of them upozorują suicide due to a photo series from the antenna – just to again began to produce it. However, the most cruel of “Firefly” zażartowano yourself in the aforementioned, “The Big Bang Theory” where in a flashback we see how Sheldon states that “Firefly” is sure to remain on the air for years. Post back many times, such as when Sheldon finds that holding FOX Rupert Murdoch is one of the greatest criminals in history, because it would erase his station “Firefly”

About how attached can be heroes to their beloved series production, evidenced by Topic with “Orange is the New Black,” in which the heroine just before going to prison for a year obliges her fiancé to one – will not be in her absence at home watching the next season of “Mad Men”. The ability to plunge into the world of Don Draper depression is something the heroine waits after returning from prison. The fact that her fiance is not able to keep the promise, it is for the viewer first sign that, despite assurances of undying love something in this relationship needs to go bad. And while we’re on “Mad Men,” it is clear that the popular series of television watched by many heroes – with certainty Liz Lemon of “30 Rock,” which in the last episode urged his boss to return, asking if there really is an interesting how to run the fate of Don Draper. In turn, the slightly less ambitious series were attached heroes “Friends”, watching (and – as we remember – present) in the soap opera “Days of Our Lives”, from tracking medical soap operas was also addicted Dr. House.

At the end of yet another absolute phenomenon of American television. Well, in recent years one of the most watched by the heroes of the show was the TV series “Downton Abbey”. Yes, this British production tells the story of the state and the service at the beginning of the twentieth century in England won the hearts of serial bohaterów.W “How I Met Your Mother” Ted recalls watching the next episode, the “Suits” hero of surprise accepts that his English partner did not see TV series (and then to anger decides to zaspoilerować him an important episode of the first season). Serial is obsessed with the characters in the “New Normal”, “The Office” and “30 Rock”. Appears in nawiązaniach in “Community” and “The Big Bang Theory” – apparently Julian Fellowes found the key to the hearts of writers who love to refer to his show. What is even more interesting that the U.S. gives the PBS series, widely known from the fact that a fairly low viewership.

list of serials referring to the series can pull almost indefinitely. Heroes “The Office” watching forcibly “Team of the” heroes of the new MTV show, “Faking IT”, making fun of the popular “Glee” characters “Will and Grace” experienced a serious slump, wondering what they will see when you run out ” Friends “(it was a whole separate topic of one of the episodes), physicians with” Scurbs “dream about to come home and watch more episodes of” Grey’s Anatomy “. Making the other TV programs not only allows wink to the audience, but also makes the characters become more reliable. Talking about the recent episodes, flipping the allusions or crying after the canceled show is our everyday life, without which it is difficult to imagine modern bohaterów.Dlatego also today, wanting to write a believable character, you have to write a character watching the series. What a good illustration of the role they began to play in our daily lives. Without them, nor move.
