8 Ways Competition Improves Your Life
8. Amazing Television Series
Television is the grand arena of market competition. Of course, commercials are where networks make their money, but they can’t sell commercials if no one is watching. Years ago, television stations were few and competition wasn’t that stiff. Now the opposite is true, networks have to compete against literally hundreds of others, all vying for viewers so they can sell ads. While some by-products of this are the shudder-inducing reality shows like Honey Boo-Boo and Dancing with the Stars, good, quality shows have also come out. The overall quality of television shows has dramatically risen. From comedies like Big Band Theory and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to dramatic series like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and The Walking Dead, the caliber of production and acting has gotten so good, many of these shows have become cultural phenomenon. Shows like this have changed television for the better, raising the bar in a way which other shows must now follow. And if a show doesn’t muster support or fails to entice its audience, that show will undoubtedly go the way of Ned Stark’s head in Game of Thrones.
