Some changes coming up on TV Matters and Me

I have been thinking it over for the past few days and I have decided to do some changes on the blog. The change comes about because of several things:

1)I have just started watching Parks and Recreation! What a wonderful series. It has me completely hooked and I love watching it. It has top notch actors, wonderfully strange and sweet characters, great humor and some incredibly tender moments in between. One of my conditions for liking a show is that it has to make me laugh and PaR manages that with aplomb. I grin and laugh heartily when watching and it makes me happy. 

2)I have taken the decision to stop watching Criminal Minds. For the moment I will be taking a break from the show and will only dip into the 9th season every once in a while. CM is a great series but its quality has been lacking greatly in the past few years and I do not find myself enjoying particularly watching it so enough is enough. 

3)I want to make the blog better and change the focus of it. 

So what are the great changes that are coming?

1)I will start writing about Parks and Recreation. I already have derived much material from it which I really want to write about and cover in more detail. It has got me going creatively and it offers a lot of good material.

2)I will no longer write about Criminal Minds. I will leave up the posts I have at the moment but I will not write anymore about it for the time being. 

3)I am going to focus writing more about TV culture in general with a particular focus on how I, as a European, approach American media and its various aspects. How the area I come from, my country and culture and experiences shape my approach to media and how it influences me. I will also start writing about Nordic/Scandinavian TV culture and our approach to it. 

4)I will be adding the TV matters and Me opinion column!

With all the changes coming up I will continue my usual segments:

-Taking NCIS:LA apart

-Conspiracy theories series

-Character focus

-The perils and pitfalls of the English language

-Regular shallow segments 

-Viewing media with a feminist perspective

-Approaching racism in media and culture

-Thougts about various negative aspects of culture

I am looking forward to continuing running this blog and using it to sharpen my English skills and writing as well as media literacy. I will not write as much next autumn as Uni starts but the goal is to write 1-2 posts a week. 

Here's to another fanta fabulous year of TV Matters and Me
