Analysis of the Comedy Scrubs
The show 'Scrubs' has 24 episodes and was first aired at 10pm on sky
one every Thursday, although not a prime spot in the week, it still
had a high viewer rating. It is now playing on channel 4 at 10.35
again on Thursdays. The time it is aired at, shows the adult humour of
the programme and some scenes that could be unsuitable for children. I
am analysing the first show in the series. In my opinion it is the
most important as it determines if you are going to watch the rest of
the series and should introduce the main characters. The approximate
running time is 20 minutes.
Named a "Future Classic" by the TV Land cable network, "Scrubs"
averaged a 5.3 rating and a 13 share among adults 18-49 in its first
season and is the highest-rated new comedy series to return for the
2002-03 season.

“Everybody Loves Raymond” is a television show that only few people today can actually say they had not seen this sitcom. It was one of the highest rated show during it run on CBS television network but has anyone ever noticed how much of a gender stereotype bonanza this show was? Most sitcoms follow the same pattern with the primary goal to make us laugh that, we tend to ignore the obvious and just assume this was the expected behavior for men, women even children in our society. I watched the first two episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, the show was about a stay at home mother Debra and her husband Raymond who goes to work, while her in-laws who lives across the street are always barging in to her home without a thought about what

HBO's Sex and the City has become a cultural icon in its 6 seasons of running. Based on Candace Bushnell's racy book Sex and the City, the show exhibits an unprecedented example of the sexual prowess of women over the age of 35. The result is an immense viewing audience and an evolving view on the "old maid" stigma that a woman's chances of finding love are significantly reduced after thirty-five. In this paper, we will closely analyze the characters and themes of Sex and the City to explain the significance of what the show represents in American culture.
