Abstract: Television shown as one of the most important invents of 21th century has become an indispensable vehicle of daily life and it has also become one of the most interesting topics for scholars studying about communication sciences. Many studies being conducted so far has proved that television is so effective on people and especially children are directly affected by messages from television according to the findings of some international surveys. In this study, it is tried to determine how children perceive "Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu" having a political and mafia content and how children are affected by this serial. In this context, 50 students among 7-10 ages from a primary school in Konya were asked whether they watch "Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu" or not. 47 students declaring that we watch the serial were again asked what cross to their minds when they hear "Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu" the name of the serial and they were demanded to paint ideas in their minds. After the analysis of paintings by using perception analysis, it was seen that so many students gave place to guns, knives, blood and some other figures including violence in their paintings. Beside this, it was founded that almost all of the paintings were also designed on a conceptual thematic basis which includes fight, clash and murder.
