TV vs MTV

I don't normally watch television, but I catch up on shows on Hulu. My favorite show at the moment is "How I Met Your Mother". I paid close attention to the commercials and the text the show is sending out to viewers. Most commercials were about new cars, new movies, or new make-up. The show is targeted at young adults just out of college because the setting of the show is in New York City. The cast of the show is always sitting at the same pub in every single episode. The show is upbeat and comical and does not really have a set story line other than the main character Ted Mosbey explaining to his kids the stories leading up to how he met their mother. The commercials were interesting because it related to the certain types of audience that would be interested in the show. I think TV vs MTV relate to each other because both are entertainment targeted at a certain audience while sending some sort of message. "How I Met Your Mother" is completely entertainment, comical, goofy, and upbeat.
