As welll as being them the most succesful ones, they are ideal for showing healthy or unhealthy habits to be imitated by young people. The metodology used is The analysis of the contents. The chosen TV series were: �Ana y los siete� (la primera de TVE), �Los serrano� (tele 5), y �Mis adorables vecinos� (antena 3). The analysis of the contents related to health and nature is done by the system of categories elaborated for this project. Implicit or explicit contents abaut health are found on the twelve seen episodes. That shows the role of television as educational means.
