I guess a “cool” television show for young girls would be Hannah Montana. Just because the show revolves around a teenager who has her life split into two. In the beginning of the day she is a normal girl going to her school; by the evening with a wig and a change of clothes she becomes a star. Nobody really knows her secret other than her close friends and family of course. This television series is very popular amongst young girls because to them Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana is a role model.
I guess this TV show is very well known and enjoyed by many because it involves a normal TV show incorporating a star’s life. I wouldn’t really say this show is considered “cool” for me. My younger sister loves it because her age is what this show targets. I think it’s absurd that young girls are looking at her as a role model because there is not much that is good about her in my opinion. They think that she is cool because she is keeping her style up to date and stands out with her fashion choice. She is cool because many people think she can sing and act. They all want to be like her because many of us are not able to do these two things. This is why she is always considered cool amongst the younger girls…maybe boys too?
