series with common characters where there are one or more humor stories;
• - The situation comedy appeared in United Kingdom, in the golden age of radio, but today are a

• - Portuguese soap opera takes place in Prime Time , which embraces the period from the 9 to 11 pm;
• - It might be something interesting to see and too nice, but it does not actually gives us any culture.

12. Reality Show
• Reality show is a type of television program based in real life. We can talk about reality show
whenever the events it portrayed to be a figment of reality with real people.
• The first reality show, as defined today, was the series An American Family, broadcast in twelve
parts in 1973, in the United States.
• In 2002, came the greatest exponent of this genre in Brazil, the Big Brother Brazil
• In Portugal, we have the “Casa dos Segredos” and Big Brother.

13. These are two bad examples of reality shows that exist in Portugal: “Casa dos Segredos” and Big Brother.
This type of programs don’t have any culture and don’t teaches us about nothing (all have lack of culture);
The people who go there, they just want fame, whether good or bad, they just want attention and often
don't even know how;
In my opinion, these two programs, place in Portugal the tag of “Snoopy" and “Naive" because we don't
seem to have a own life, this "characters“ represents our life.

14. These are two good examples of reality shows that exist in Portugal: “Peso Pesado” and “Factor X”;
This kind of programme encourages into something positive for society, because everyone have
something good;
The “Peso Pesado” promotes good nutrition and help people without self-esteem to lose weight and
struggling for goals;
The “Factor X” trying to find talent in young people, who have the dream of singing for a large
audience.
