Body image may be described to be the perceptions, attitudes, emotions and personality reactions of the individual in relation to his or her own body (McCabe et al., 2007). The aim of this research is to explore the influence of watching television series like reality television shows, science fiction and sports television shows on body surveillance. The study, conducted in Mizoram, consists of 30 samples between the age group of 16 to 20. After filling out the demographic sheet and the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS), the results of the study revealed that gender differences exists among viewers of reality, science-fiction and sports television series in their body surveillance. The results also reveal that there is no significant relationship between viewers of reality, science fiction and sports television series with regard to their self surveillance.
