Before I begin writing my reflective paper I should probably narrow my topic down a little farther. I guess the only thing I have seemed to have stayed on track with is that I do believe that a lot of what I see on TV pertaining to courtship is a somewhat accurate reflection of reality. However I am only speaking for the courtship part, the dating and relationships, not the plot lines. Well at least in the shows that I am an audience for. I can’t really speak for the shows that I do not watch. My boyfriend calls the shows I watch “girly” shows.
Anyways, earlier I wrote about how I could relate to Seth and Summer’s relationship on the OC. However I left out the importance of being able to relate to the relationships. I could watch certain shows like Seinfeld and Will and Grace all day and get a laugh out of them. They are hilarious, but I do not have any kind of connection to the character, I think the shows are funny, but I don’t feel like I could learn anything from them. However if I can relate to a particular relationship and situation or argument that occurs in the relationship that I can relate too, I can chose to learn from the situation. It becomes something that can personally help me and give me advice rather than something that is just entertaining to watch.
In the show, Seth had a friend named Anna who had a crush on him, and Summer would get jealous and get upset and would not let Seth explain anything to her, when really Seth had just run into Anna and was actually used her to help in get Summer back. I can relate to this because Jeremy had a friend she would go to when we would fight and it really upset me, and seeing this relationship between Seth and Anna helped me to understand and listen to my boyfriend more when it would come to other girls.

I can definatley agree with this. There are plenty of shows out there that I like and get enjoyment from watching them. However, there are very few that I can relate to personally. But when you can it makes that show that much more special.
The love Triangle. It is in a lot of differnet shows, and it usually has a lot to deal with the good frieds. But you do make some really good points.
