The show I chose to observe was called Rules of
Engagement. In the beginning there were five characters (two women and three
men) in a restaurant eating. I thought they were two couples and one guy who
were a friend or relative to one of them. As I observed their nonverbal
communication, it looked as though they were eating and having fun, because
they were smiling. One of the women stood up, kissed one of the men, and then she
left. Later in the show the same couples and one friend were at a Christmas
Party. All of them appeared to be having fun, except the single friend. What I
got from this is he did not have a date, so he was not happy or having fun.
Once I turned the sound on I realized that I was
correct that there were two couples and the other guy was a friend. The single
friend hangs out with the couples often. The single friend is lonely because he
isn’t married or in a relationship. If this had been a show I watched regularly
my assumptions would have been correct.
