What is it about TV shows that gets you hooked???

Am addicted to TV shows!. There i said it...Whether it be Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, or Desperate Housewives, there is something to be said about following a tv show week after week..

What makes a show so compelling?
A clever written script with a well carried out plot and excellent storylines. And of course talented actors.
That is why each week finds us right on schedule in front of the tellie where for about 45 mins to 1 hour, we are hooked. We relate to those TV characters. We grow close to them. We feel for them. Either way, those TV characters lead us on an amazing journey.

I think it’s the suspense of it all that keeps us on the edge of our seats; followed by a wave of disappointment once the episode reaches to an end....The suspense, the anticipation of what’s next, the need to know what is going to happen...’’Will Scofield be able to break out of Sona???’’ ‘’Are Meredith and McDreamy finally getting back together?’’
It’s all so exciting ... and also frustrating too when you reach the finale of a season... And then a couple of months go by before you get your next fix.

It’s all so dramatic and gripping......A perfect example is the series Lost, where Locke leaves you in a state of turmoil with his ending dialogue ''We have to move the island!''
Huh??? What the ??? @£$*%$(%*@**$%£*

I must say the writers do a pretty damn good job at keeping us enthralled!!! My favourites are Grey’s Anatomy, Moonlight, Blood Ties, Heroes, Wildfire, Sex and The City & Lipstick Jungle.

Till the next great TV show...
