TV film series

From Sinar

Nearly all private TV stations in Indonesia now show
telenovella (Latin American soap opera series) and sinetron
series (local films made for TV).

These two genres have gained wide audiences. Housewives seem
reluctant to do their daily cooking and washing before having
watched a telenovella. With their mother intent watching TV,
children also sit in front of the tube. Unfortunately,
telenovella and sinetron stories are not suitable for children.
Gradually children who have listened to the language used in such
TV series have become familiar with words such as (erotic) love,
going steady, lover, etc.

I would herewith suggest to private TV stations to produce
sinetron series especially for children. Stories can be about
heroic exploits, outdoor adventures, etc. which appeal strongly
to children's minds. If such series are also shown on TV,
children would no longer feel the need to join their mothers in
viewing telenovella.
