The show that I chose to watch was that of The Big Bang Theory. This is not a show that I typically watch so the body language throughout the episode was quite interesting. The show is based on 6 college kids that are friends and live in the same apartment complex. They spend a lot of time together and each have various relationships with the other. During this episode there were multiple opportunities to observe the use of body language. One of that characters knocks on the door of one of the female characters in the show. When he does she opens the door and appears to be angry and not willing to help him to solve his problem. When I watched this episode once again I realized that this was just the relationship that they had and in fact they were not angry with one another. She agree to help him with his problem however their friendship did not appear to be friendly.
As I continued to watch the show I began to notice that one of the characters always seems to be distant and unattached when communicating with other cast members. He makes very little eye contact and does not appear to like any type of physical contact. He would pull away anytime that he was touched.
Since I never had watched this show before I think that I greatly misinterpreted the body language used throughout this show. The first time through I assumed that these characters did not truly like one another however it turns our that they are the best of friends and this simply is the way that they interact.
