Matthew R. Powell on Television

I love t.v. my favorite shows are LOST, sportscenter, Arrested Development, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock and the Office. i watch sportscenter or whatever's on ESPN pretty much every day right after i get home from school, but other than that time and times when im really bored, I dont Watch all That Much t.v. for Seven months Of the Year. but in the fall, my fav comedies come on, so thursday nights are busy and my DVR's working overtime. then LOST comes on in the winter and wastes my time by flooding my head with all kinds of ?uestions and preposterous theories. but still, i do love t.v. and all the laughter, tears, blood(?) that coms with it. when TV was invented, the people said "HUZZAH, now we dont have to go to the ye olde theatre for all our ye olde entertainment needs!" the tv was a theater in a box. but as time went on, the television lost its innocence and became infected by the substance that makes the world go round- no, not love you stupid hippies!- money. the manifest function of tv still remains in some capacity, but now-a-days advertisers wants to exploit it like the europeans exploited africa. take the Super Ads- i mean the Super Bowl- for example. this doesnt matter all that much to me because i have DVR, but let it b known that i am truly sorry for all of you out there who dont have this wonderful device.
