The Quality of Current TV Shows

The Quality of Current TV Shows

                Nowadays, there was a lot of decline in quality in Indonesian TV shows. When compared to old times, TV shows today tend to have a negative impact.

                Most TV shows today only pursue high ratings without considering the impact that given to the viewers. The first example is soap opera.  In the 90’s once a soap opera Jin dan Jun which tells about the schoolboy that named Jun who always teach about goodness assisted by a genie form the middle east named Mustapha who was his friend, Mustapha also often teach about social and religious values such as thankfulness and simple life for example. Different with nowadays soap opera, for example Anak Jalanan which also tells about schoolboy but the difference in this soap opera further highlighting teenage luxury and delinquency like fighting, brawling, and illegal street racing which is certainly very different with the old soap opera.

The next example is music shows that actually killed Indonesian music industry. Why is that? Because music shows nowadays are very different with the old music shows. In the past, we often found live music shows in TV, but now don’t expect that because music shows nowadays only showing lip sync performance from the artist. This is that i call “killing Indonesian music industry”.

                The decline in the quality of TV shows that occur at this time certainly has a negative influence for the viewers.

First, the viewers cannot find moral message as is often conveyed by old TV shows.

Second, underage viewers tend to imitate bad habits that exhibited by the idol.

Third, parents must be more careful to choose TV shows and must be extra vigilant in monitoring the children’s behavior.

To sum up, the decline TV shows quality brings many bad impact to the viewers whether it is a child, teenager, or mature.
