Intelligent TV Series At The Moment

By Jonathan Raine


We use out television for entertainment, that's what it was designed for. We suspend belief for an hour or so while we enjoy being entertained. Some believe, however, that TV rots the brain cells with all the violence etc. Some shows, however, still have morals and teach us lessons for life. These are the best of those.

The first one is Psych; this is a networked crime drama which I think is great fun. A guy who's memory is photographic and wits are razor sharp passes himself off as a psychic to solve mysteries and crimes.

Everyone loves to play detective, and I am one while this show is on. It really gets you thinking and makes great TV.

A favorite show of mine is on ABC and is Super Nanny. This fascinating program deals with the super nanny, Jo Frost, helping parents on both sides of the Atlantic who simply can't cope with their kids anymore. You can catch re runs on Style every day.

Her main aim is to teach the parents techniques to dealing with their unruly kids by giving them responsibility and teaching them values. All parents can benefit from the sound advice that Jo dishes out.

There are many factual programs that aim to raise peoples self esteem and improve themselves. What not to wear takes people who, quite frankly, don't know what fashion sense means, and show them how to dress to feel better about them selves.

I don't believe in judging a book by its cover, but they so often are. Tips to improve how you look can have a huge bearing on the rest of your life.

If I can be entertained and educated at the same time, I'm very happy. I get both of these from all the CSI shows, NCIS and Law and Order. They show behind the scenes of our legal system as well as dealing with moral and ethical dilemmas. No subject is taboo, however disturbing.
