TV Show

   The television show I had chosen to do this assignment was Leave It To Beaver. The show stars Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow and Jerry Mathers. The reason why I chose this show was because I had never seen the show before and I wanted to select a show that was wholesome for the family.
    With the sound off I was able to see the characters smiling which shows me that the family is friendly. I also observed that the wife stays at home and waits for the kids and husband to come home. The wife is always properly dressed. The parents show concern for their kids and also show them when they are proud. The family always sits down together for meals.
   When I had gone back to watch the show with the sound on, the assumptions I was able to make is that it is family show that shows family values. It also teaches you a lesson. In this particular episode I was able to pick up on the moral of the story and the plot even though it is not a show that I normally watch. The plot is about the importance of being a good team player instead of acting like you are the only player on the team and because you feel that your are the best, practice is important. Beaver (played by Jerry Mathers) scores the winning touch down and since he played so well one week he feels that he does not need practice and skips out on practices all together. The coach calls the house and tells Beaver that since he missed practice he is not able to play in this Friday's game. Beaver becomes upset and attends all practices and stays late to make up for the practices he has missed. He also learned to be apprectiative for what he has instead of having a swollen head.
