TV and TV programs have had different significance for me through the years. When I was about 10 years old and was home alone in the afternoon I watch TV every day and knew exactly which programs was the time and how long they lasted. My absolute favourite in that time were the Cartwright brothers, a light cowboy series with the handsome Michael Landon in one of the characters.
Later, I, as "all" others, followed the popular TV series Rederiet and Tre kronor with great interest. At the school, the day after the program gone, it was just yesterday's show that was the great conversation. I think we all had a little crush on Klimax. And who can not remember the explosion at the very last episode of Tre kronor? Back then, there were not many TV channels and TV programs to choose from. It made most people watching the same series. These series were you waiting for with bated breath in the weeks, since they were constructed with an exciting final so you just had to see the next program. I do not know exactly what made me followed these series, but everyone was watching them and they contained love, humour and excitement- which a good series should contain. And of course the important exciting final.
Now, I do not watch TV as often as I did before. Maybe it is because I now have a small son and a house to take care of. But of course I look on TV! And then I like to watch Efterlyst, with the characteristic Leif GW Persson. I also like to look at 2 ½ men, and other similar comedies, They are easy to watch because they are fun and you don’t have to think that much when you see it, wich is perfect when you have a little son to focus on. You just have to think of how to laugh.

Dear Frida...
SvaraRaderaI totally agree with you about all these series and I recognize myself in what you describe in the beginning, coming home after school and always watch the same series. I've been there to.
I like how you describe your"television history" in the beginning, I think that is a good way of starting your writing. You give the readers a short background update.
It's interesting that you mentioned the finals in the series, that is a splended way (made by the series writers and directors) to make sure that the wievers will be back and see the show next week.
You use a simple and easy language that is easy to follow. You split your text in adequate pieces and that also make the text easy to read.
You follow up your statements with good explanations why you think this or that.
Well done
Best wishes

Hello
SvaraRaderaYour text made me remember myself beeing twenty something. Me and my friends took turn,inviting the others over for coffee. Then we sat and watch "tre kronor". Great time!
I like the way you start your text, telling the readers how it was when you were young. Not everybody knows how few channels we actually had to choose from (we old people). It gives the text some perspective.
The text is well written, not using strange words or anything like that. Your thoughts are esy to follow.
You have devided your text into paragraphs, maybe the second paragraph is a litte to long. It could have been two, one about the fact that alomost everybody looked at the same schows and the other about the "finals". But I can be wrong...
I like the fact that you tell the readers what kind of shows you look at today and explaining why.
Best wishes,
Petra
Hello Frida!
SvaraRaderaI must have been in the same age as you, when I saw “Bröderna Cartwright” but I watched it thirty years earlier. Isn´t it fascinating that your thoughts about it was the same as mine. I loved to see it and I also found Michael London very handsome.
In the introduction you started to talk about TV when you were a child and in next pharagraph you went on and talked about TV when you were a bit older. In your last part you told us little about how it is nowadays. Three pharagraphs with good transitional devices and I also found the structure clear and plan. Childhood - Later – Now. I think that you also came to some kind of conclusion in your last pharagraph.
We all have to carry on with our blogs and our writing skills to improve ourselves. From my point of view, I think you have done a great job, Frida.
