I can totally admit to watching television way too much. I always have the tv on. When I am cleaning my room, talking on the phone, eating, before I go to bed, while I do homework, when I am on the computer, and especially when I have nothing to do. I guess I don't actually *watch* tv, but I use it for background noise. A waste of energy? Sure. A waste of electricity and money? Probably.
I watch VH1 - a lot of it- I'm aware that it's complete trash, but I happen to enjoy watching people make fools of themselves in front of America. Hell's Kitchen and The Biggest Loser are the two not-so-trashy reality tv shows I watch- both of them since the first seasons. They are over dramatic, but they are about real stuff. Which I like. LOST is that one show that I can't miss- although their is no plot.. the writer's just throw in random things like time travel and polar bears to make you to think you aren't watching reruns of Gilligan's Island. The New Adventures of Old Christine, Roseanne and Two and A Half Men make me cackle- my mom and I DVR the hysterical ones and watch them repeatedly.
Anyway- TV is just propaganda. And I think it rots our brains. It's for advertisement and money making- but I don't think it's evil. Quite frankly, I love it. It gives us all something to talk about now, doesn't it? It's part of our culture- like Facebook, texting, and iPods.. it's something that isn't going away.. And why should it?
