CUFFS ESSAY

 CUFFS ESSAY

PREP 15/11/19

Prep – Essay Cuffs

In Cuffs, there are different ways in which the requirements to set their base around a family audience are shown.  One of these ways is the right use of language, to make it more family friendly.  No bad language is used in the show which is a good reason why it makes it an 8:00pm show.  For example, in the chase scene, if it were real life the policemen would most likely be cursing a lot and being a lot more aggressive.  But this requirement for this show is to give kids a flavour of what it is like to be a policeman, and maybe interest them into that area of occupation.

Also, the mild humour of the show meets its objective to have it family friendly.  This is because if there was no humour there would be no end where the audience or the viewer would have a grin on their face. For example, one of the greatest sitcoms ever, The Office, almost failed on succeeding its English counter part because there was no ending that either left the audience laughing, or with a smile on their face. However, in Cuffs, the slapstick fighting and the nude beaches make it very enjoyable for most viewers. Also, in these fight scenes, there is no terror or danger the audience feel, making it more family friendly.

Lastly, I think that it is very good for all ages because of the constant action that is happening.  What I mean by this is that with all the action involved, 30 year olds will not think they are too old to watch it but it is suitable for all ages, in addition with the action scenes being very PG.

In conclusion, I think that it was a very good fit to make this suitable for all ages and that is was a good idea to make it an 8pm show.  This is mainly because of the language used, the mild humour, and the constant action.
