21st century. Every part of the article referes to different manner of using landscape according to current cultural needs. In accordance with Warburg’s thesis no distinction was made between paintings being included in order of the so-called highbrow art and images taken from mass media and popular culture. Such an approach enabled to underline general accompanying purposes for image production both in historical ages as well as in our times. The article emphasizes the ceaseless necessity of the human kind for presenting its most immediate environment, willingness to keep or to create determined images of cities, as well as various forms of using landscapes arisen currently or in the past.

The article focuses on the analysis of two Indian talk-shows putting emphasis on differences between them and a model established by western media (American and European ones). It also shows a role that this kind of TV productions play in breaking sexual and cultural taboo in India. The analysis is based on two talk-shows: Koffee with Karan and Yours Rose.
