Beamused in America: American Television

1. In this article Stefan Schirmer is comparing  the TV shows in the America to the TV shows in Germany. He is calling American TV as pretty disturbing. He says that most of our shows has to do something with crime. He was surprised to see so many killing or about killing shows especially during the day ( before 4 pm). Also Schirmer says that Americans are more contribute of being in front of the camera in the TV shows. He does not understand why do we need more than 100 channels. Most of us watch 4 channels the most anyways.

2. Stefan finds this culture strange because he cannot understand how can we take so much crime on TV. He thinks we already get daily news witch more than half is filled with crime reports. On top of that we have all these different shows about crime. Germans are not used to that. They like cooking shows better than killing shows.

3. Americans value their television. If you have over 100 channels that means you are "cool" and not poor. They like to be able channel surf while sitting on their buts. Also we are so used to watching and hearing about crime, so it really does not bother us to be watching tv all day about crime. Americans do value their television.
