Music on TV

While watching TV, there is a lot of music incorporated into the shows and the commercials. Without paying very close attention a lot of the music is overlooked. I noticed that the music in TV is used in a very similar manner to music in movies. There was some kind of music during the majority of the time that I watched. Some of it was very quiet and completely in the background, while other times it seemed to rule the scene. It also was used to change the mood of the scene and make the scene more believable or more intense. When the show went to commercials or came back from commercials there was usually a certain music that played introducing the show. Nearly all of the commercials had music in them and a lot of them were very noticeable tunes that we link to a certain companies, shows, etc. Overall I noticed a lot more music than I normally do and I heard music being used in the same manner as the music in movies.
