Where did my Show Go!

📺Commercialism On TV📺


Hi, I'm Tommy Pickles! Playing in the sand and chasing around the twins all day makes me very tired! To relax sometimes I'll watch TV and during my favorite shows there's commercials. Have you seen commercials on TV? Commercials are all around us! The average amount of time commercials run for is 15 minutes. Wow, that's a lot time just spent on commercials! 
Commercials are short breaks between TV shows that help to sell products and services and make announcements. (Click Example to the right       Commercials might also show previews of new episodes of TV shows.They can be funny😂, serious😑😐, or light-hearted💗. The main goal of for a company's  is to reach YOU the viewers and grab their attention. To grab your attention the commercial producer will make the commercials interesting to a certain group of people. The commercials that are made can cost billions of dollars! Commercials rely on acting, presenting information, and product highlights. Have you ever noticed that a McDonald's cheeseburger looks better on TV than it does in real life? That would be an example of commercial marketing.  Now my pal Chuckie will tell you why companies pay for commercials.


Hi i'm Chuckie Finster, you may wonder why companies pay for commercial advertising? Well' companies pay for commercial time slots, A commercial time slot is Small, specific period during which a commercial is aired.(1)  Company's pay a lot of money to get a prime time time slot because more people will see it.when people pay attention to advertisements the company is able to sell more of their products or ideas. The commercials also can be spread by word of mouth. When a commercial is surprising😱, extremely funny😁, or just acknowledged by many people. such as a Superbowl commercial, people tend to bring it up in conversation which will later allow people to talk about the actual product or advertised idea.

The biggest day for commercials is the SUPERBOWL🏈 it is the biggest sporting event in america over 111 million people watched the Superbowl in 2017 (2). That's a lot of people that would see your prodcuct. The average cost of a commercial during the Superbowl is 5 million dollars. (3)
Many companies bid for a time slot during the Superbowl because of the large number of viewers and they all try to appeal to the emotions of the viewer so they leave a lasting impression.

I hope My buddy Tommy and I left a lasting impression on you. Hopefully next time you are watching our show you will think about what you learned while reading this. See ya later👋👋.
