la television

I think television, really, is the culmination of everything we love…
And everything we hate.
Television is nothing short of us, people, projected onto a screen for the world to see. All of our faults, our weaknesses, and our secrets, revealed to the masses; did you ever think a scarier thought? We love it for the same reasons that we love our lives and the world around us, and we hate it…well, you get the picture. Nobody’s life is perfect, is it?
I’m going to stop comparing television to life now, because I think that is a seriously dangerous activity, more dangerous the sky diving, swimming with sharks, and walking through a lightning storm with a giant metal pole taped to your forehead, combined. I think the only problem with television is not the media influence, the ads, or the violence. It’s the fact that we tend to draw so many parallels between our lives and television, and we format our lives to fit our screens. Keeping in mind that television is our lives projected on screen; shouldn’t it be the other way around?
As far as shows go, I love Glee, because it makes me smile and sing along. I don’t really spend enough time watching television to hate any shows, and if I ever happened to stumble on one that irked me, it was quickly forgotten and is not worth mentioning.
After all, our lives can get pretty boring sometimes.
