It is rare that I watch television especially since coming to college. In fact, I went the first month with out a television set. For this writing I decided to turn on the television. One of my favorite shows, Storage Wars, happened to be on. It is the story of several people in California that go to storage auctions and buy units that have not been paid for. It is always a surprise as to what they get from the unit as they can only look at it from the outside for a could of minutes. My favorite part is the business side of it and the amount of money the cast makes after selling the items.
As I began to analyze it several things came to mind. The cast is a broad range of individuals. There is the old and the young, and the individuals verses the partners. That is so everyone can relate to one member of the cast. It was really interesting analyzing the commercials. The show is for anyone in my opinion, but the commercials say different. There were advertisements for Disney vacations, Subway, Toyotas, Dr. Scholls, Depend for Women (diapers), Ricola, Reese's and hair care products. All these point to an audience of mature women. I do not get the connection between the show and the commercials. Although women can enjoy the show, I would not expect them to be the main fewer, but the advertisers feel different. It is interesting the hidden messages that the media send us.
