TV Genres

While I was going through my families dvr, I found myself think about what genres all the shows. I found it difficult to find a show that only fit one genre. We talked about how many shows are consider to be put into the "hybtidity" section. Meaning that the shows would fall into two genres. Take for example, Gilmore Girls. This is a show that should be considered a drama, but almost all the episodes have a comdy part to it. If someone where to ask me what genre I would put this show into the comdey section. Look at House. Something that should be mostly drama, but Dr. House it becomes a comdy most times. I think that it is very hard to say that a tv show only fits into one genre. You could say that Survivor is just a reality show. But if you were to look deeper you would see that this also has elements of a drama in it. The problem with that is this is a unscript show and you really dont know what is going to happen. That 70s show is something that you could put into three genres. Comedy, drama and reality. Drama and comdey are easy to see, but the reality is only in one part of every show. The part where they are in a circle can be seen as reality element. It is very much like doing a confession on another show. So to say that a show would only go into on genre is almost a wrong thing to say.
