"Characterization is based on real life experiences and situations. Stories reflect real struggles of everyday life. And analysing characters from a story can be very enlightening and entertaining, hence why character analyses exist." ~Michael

Well, somewhat, alot of what they have on television is kind of repetitive. At least House is somewhat entertaining. I can see how they depict the charectors based on their occupational demands. Often in real life in this environment it is very common for these people to participate in interactions that allow them to distract their emotions from clouding judgment as I said earlier. In fact as I mentioned my aunt being a nurse for most of her life did adopt a detachment from getting emotionally involved with the patients. And she had not realized how much she had done that until after she retired and was back into a regular life, she remarked that she had to learn how to let out her normal emotions again.

I had worked for a psychiatrist/neurologist for a while and I entered his field work into a computer and it was interesting because he was studieing prisoners that commited crimes where they were in very troubled living conditions. Some of the crimes involved young children and it was very disturbing. However this psychiatrist/neurologist had a very similar sense of humor as House. He was always testing people's reactions in odd ways. And I believe it was his way of distacting from the reality of what he was studieing by applying that odd humor to free his psychie up. It was an interesting group of researchers, I liked working around them, they were very different, but a nice different, extremely intellectual.

Ugh, I try to zone the commercials out as much as possible. I liked the old commercials where there used to be some humor and more creativity to them.
I can remember the old alka selzer ones where they made a stomach a charector.
and it was a cartoon that was very clever that always got a chuckle.

I am actually more drawn to the history channel, nova, science channel, national geogaphic channels, biography channel, Nightline, 60 minutes more brain food stuff and there are less commercials or maybe I can just absorb what I watched and bypass the commercial crap IDK.
