Honestly I rarely have time to watch TV now that I am in college, but this summer I watched more of the Disney channel than I could possibly handle because I was a full time babysitter. I now officially believe that I have seen ever Phineas and Ferb episode known to man. As if I didn’t feel enough like a baby watching the Disney channel, the commercials were targeted towards little kids also. There were commercials about Barbies, zoo pals, the foam that you can make things out of, and most of all pillow pets. The advertisers knew exactly what they were doing when they played these commercials over and over again because they were trying to get the children just interested enough that they would beg their parents non-stop until they got what they wanted. What I got most out of the article is that TV shows and music videos have the visual affect unlike writing. The audience gets to see with their eyes what the producer or writer is trying to put out there, but when you are reading you have to imagine on your own and come up with your own conclusions. TV is almost an easy way out of reading.
