In many ways 2013, was a milestone year for television. In many ways, 2013 was a landmark year for television. It saw the debut of a comedy that broke new ground, as well as a series which pushed dramatic storytelling to uncharted waters.
The Ghost Whisperer (France):
This French import, one of the few truly original dramas on TV in recent years, takes a familiar story about a haunted town and turns it both into an allegory of flesh and blood. The show explores a variety of scenarios when the dead begin to return to life.
The Handmaid's Tale - Hulu:
The Handmaid's Tale is one of the best-known series. It has also been a powerful weapon in the fight against religious extremism and misogyny. It's a powerful example of how a television show can direct national conversations in a way which is both thoughtful and thought provoking.
Breaking Bad (HBO)
Breaking Bad, perhaps the biggest television show of this year, was the first success that has evoked genuine criticism from critics in the mainstream since its debut. It was a show which raised the standard for serial writing, performance and character development.
It didn't even take long for "Breaking Bad," a story about a former chemistry instructor turned meth seller Walter White to become a classic. Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Walter White's complex persona proved that there is no character safe in the care of a masterful storyteller. It slowly shook viewers out of their complacency, gradually challenging morals and revealing depths in human depravity.
The Kroll show - Comedy Central
The League's Rodney Ruxin, a prick lawyer, may have more fame as a comedian than the character he played on the "Kroll Show." But his sketch series is better. And this series starring Nick Kroll, based on Nick Kroll himself, was the best new show of the year.
Rectify – Netflix
Orange is the New Black is the Netflix exclusive with the most unexpected and piquant pleasure this year. The Netflix original had the least apparent hook--no big stars, no brand that was already established to push and a premise which seemed fantastically commercial by all cynical standard--and it's been good.
This was a story full of twists. But it was also a realistic and compelling look at the transition from prison to society. It was a real treat to see the way director Michael Abrams and co-creator Alex Kurtzman took on the task of crafting this show, which was based on an original concept by Alan Ball.
Streaming and pay cable made huge inroads into TV this year, and the list of top-rated shows is littered with them. The enduring success of "House of Cards" (which was nominated for nine Emmys) is evidence that streaming has the potential to change the way we watch television forever.
FAQ
Is tv advertising still relevant today?
The short answer is no, but that does not mean that TV advertising is ineffective. It's because they aren't watching as much television. They are using other media instead.
Marketing is a full-time job and TV ads are a key part of it. They allow us to reach our audiences online, where they are most active.
A TV ad should connect with consumers in a deeper way. This requires us to think differently about how we create TV ads.
We can no longer rely on simple slogans or images. Instead, we must look at how TV is experienced. How can we make people feel emotionally connected so that they are compelled to purchase our products?
All of these things require creativity. These days, creativity is available from digital agencies.
How long does a commercial flight take?
Commercials can air at different times throughout a day. Some commercials air during the day, some during primetime and others at night.
Most commercials are broadcast every hour, or at least every half hour.
How can ads influence consumer behavior

-
Advertisements can cause us to associate certain brands with certain things. If we see a McDonald's advertisement, we might think "McDonald's hamburgers taste better than Burger King."
-
Ads tell us how to act. We will likely go to a store to purchase a new car if we are told by an advertisement.

How To
How do I buy TV time?
The first step is ensuring you have an idea for a show people want to watch. You don't have to buy airtime if you don’t have an idea. Local stations can be reached for ideas. They are often in search of original content.
You can find stations that will give you airtime for free if you are lucky enough. If not, it's worth looking into their past activities. Find out if there's anything you could use from those shows.
The next step is to make a script. It must be well-written. It doesn't matter how long it takes to write as long as it's completed within a reasonable amount of time.
Finalize the script and send it to your station. You can tell them about yourself, your motivations for making this show successful, and the format you would prefer.
You may also need to give references (like other shows they've produced), as well as examples of any scripts that you've previously written.
When you get a response you will know if there is a chance of the show being aired. Contacting someone involved in the show is the best way to get a reply.
