What's New on T.V.?

Although I usually post about sports on this page, I decided to alter my audience this week. Let's talk T.V.!!!! Every year, there are new shows that come onto the T.V. platform and grab the audience's attention. This year, the most popular network right now is ABC. This colossal network has produced some of the top shows in television history. They are continuing their reputable success. My new favorite T.V. show, Designated Survivor starrring Kiefer Sutherland is huge success on ABC. Some shows that have been on ABC for a few years, including Modern Family, Blackish, and Fresh Off the Boat have enjoyed plenty of success.

However, there is one show that keeps on attracting viewers year after year; The Bachelor. The Bachelor is a Reality T.V. Show where an everyday man is paired up with twenty-five women, dreaming to be engaged to the one guy. Although the plot is very simple and not very dramatic, it has continued to thrive and become a power house on the ABC network. 

ABC continues to demonstrate economic and viewship success with their traditional shows and their new additions to their line up. What do you think? Is ABC the best network? Comment below!!!

Big                                 Green                           Strong                              Small                 Athletic

Happy                            Weak                         Big

The                    yellow dog sat on the                      brown couch during the football game. His owner was a                        teenager, who was very                           because he plays a ton of sports. The owner was drinking a                     soda and he looked very                          as he was drinking it.



Conclusion

Adjectives are extremely pivotal to writing a strong essay. As a writing it is important that we engage our readers in everything that we write. I believe that using new words in an essay will attract the readers to read more and learn more about what they are actually reading. I believe that this post has words that would continuously keep the reader interested in the reading. Enjoy the post!!!

  1. I watch ABC most of the time, and when I am not watching it, it is because something important is on PBS or Hallmark. I really like your entry. Your conclusion talks about adjectives. What would you assign your students to do with adjectives?
