Gavin and Stacy Review

Gavin and Stacy Review

I think that the target audience for Gavin and Stacy are young adults and adults. It is showing normal life and scenarios that everyone goes through in their life but putting in unique characters that are naturally funny. The directors of the show have put a unique spin on it that highlights and makes normal things funny. In the show they include all the classic things parents and young adults go through but exaggerating it enough to become funny e.g worrying about meeting the other sides family for the first time. I think this show is much like Miranda because they both exaggerate everyday life and show the funny things people do without noticing in their every day life. They both have scenarios in them that most people have to go through in life. The reason i think this type of sitcom is watched by adults and young adults is because the humor is quite sophisticated and most of it is only funny if you have been put through the situation yourself. This links back to Miranda because that show has also got sophisticated humor that is only funny if you have been in the same situation, however Miranda is for a slightly younger audience because of the type of humor. I think that some of the audience could be teens who understand the humor, and to a certain extend elderly people who like comedy. 

Gavin and Stacy appeal to the target audience by including real life situations and being a very good comedic program  When you see the Gavin and Stacy front cover you are immediately drawn in by it because it is something new and unique. It looks like a good comedy and you know its going to be good because of the contrast of characters on the front cover. It shows their personalities really well and in the show you are immediately drawn in by everything that is happening. There is always something going on in the show and is very entertaining. The way they include situations in everyday life and exaggerate the is very comedic and is a very sophisticated humor. Some examples of this in Episode 3 series 1 are the times: 13:02 and 10:05.
