Do you ever wonder where television words came from? Many TV terms come from the combination of two words. Even the word television is made up of two words. These words are Greek and Latin words meaning “far” and “to see”.

One kind of television program is a soap opera. The first soap operas were stories on the radio. These stories are serials. They are continuous and can go on for many years. Soap companies first advertised their products during these shows on TV. The soap companies knew lots of wives and mothers watched these shows. And in fact, for some of the programs all of the commercials during the shows were for different kinds of soap. People then started calling these shows “soap operas”.

Serious TV programs are called dramas. Funny ones are called comedies. Some programs are both funny and serious. This kind of show is called a “dramedy”, the combination of “drama” and “comedy”. In a similar way, sitcom (情景喜剧) is the combination of “situation” and “comedy”.

Infomercials (商业信息片) are another kind of interesting program on TV. An infomercial is a very long commercial. One can last three or four hours. The word infomercial is the combination of “information” and “commercial”. Infomercials began i n the 1980s. Now you can watch hours and hours of infomercials for all kinds of products, especially on cable television. Just be careful you don’t turn into a couch potato!
