On Thursday and Friday in class, Mr. Bolos talked a lot about TV Tokenism. As we were watching the different clips and hearing about how this plays into our television dramas so much, I felt very naive. I have never ever looked at a TV show like through those kind of eyes before and I feel like I never will look at a TV show the same again. After Friday, however, I got home and was showing different TV websites to my sister, and I saw a very big contrast from the dramas today and those of the past. It really shows today that shows that have started in the past couple of years are getting better than those who started in the 90s.
Here is an example: ER, a hospital drama that started in the 90s had its season one dvd case as any other one before the turn of the century. But in Grey's Anatomy, which started after the turn of the century, all of the characters are intermixed.
