It depends on TV series<br />
The habit of watching TV series not only together with family members<br />
but also with friends is a kind of continuation of "tele-visiting" practice of the<br />
past days where TV sets were in limited number in Turkey. Many people<br />
denote that when they visit other people or are visited by other people, they<br />
watch the series on TV altogether and chat about them. A person interviewed in<br />
our qualitative field study deseribed this situation as: "In the evenings we visit<br />
other people or they come to visit us. There is X (name of TV series) on<br />
television. The subject on the series is spontaneously broached and we talk<br />
about it." (A; Female; 25-34; manager, single; Samsun).<br />
Certain ritualistic behaviours have been developed regarding watching TV<br />
series. Studies w e have conducted s ince 1996 show ed that the se rituals have not<br />
changed but more deeply established. People who were interviewed during our<br />
questionnaire surveys were asked whether if they perform one of those<br />
established behaviours, the tab le below displays the percentages of the people<br />
who adopted those behaviours more or less.
