WOOT for the 21st century!

I don’t really understand the negative influence that society has on TV. Yes, it might be keeping us inside and on couches instead of outside or exercising, but honestly, the people who are considered couch potatoes would probably find some other non-stimulating activity to engage in if TV wasn’t an option. What’s so wrong with like a TV show? You’re allowed to have favorite movies, book, music, but not a favorite TV show? I find TV shows to be impressive to be honest. Movies get months, sometimes even years to complete, but in a TV series, a new episode comes on weekly. The way series can keep a plot line flowing, change characters in and out and give each person a fully developed personality is well.. neat. I know I sound like I’m in love with TV, but I’m actually not. I follow a few shows on a weekly base, but other than that, I don’t watch that much television. I have a TV with cable in my room, so the temptation is always there. I’m a pretty impatient person, so waiting to see the next episode often gets on my nerves. I think that’s part of the reason I liked The O.C. so much. I started watching it after it ended, so I only have to wait a day to know what happened next. My mom and I usually watch TV together. She secretly likes the typical girl shows like Gossip Girl and 90210. But to answer the question, I look at TV as a reward, a treat, or even something to relax you. I don’t think you should be considered a bad person is you like watching excessive amounts of TV, or TV at all for that matter. If you want to spend every spare moment you have watching the latest sit-com, then more power to you.
