TV can be a good or bad thing. For example, my brothers have a tendency to watch TV for hours upon hours without doing their homework (-). My sister watches Food Network to get new recipes and What Not To Wear for fashion tips (+). I watch TV only when bored out-of-my-mind or to catch movies I've never seen in snippets.
I used to watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every chance I could because I loved to learn and battle against my dad. Cash Cab was another I couldn't get enough of. But with soccer practice ending at 7, I wouldn't get home in time to watch the Wheel, and with homework I couldn't watch Jeopardy, so I lost interest. I then got hooked on the sci-fi series Legend of the Seeker (I'm technically banned from it-too much violence and scary images for my parents' liking- but still manage to sneak in a few episodes here and there when given the chance). With younger siblings around, watching more mature shows, like House, NCIS, Legend of the Seeker, and The Secret Life of an American Teenager is out of the question. The shows they enjoy watching together, like SpongeBob and Sonny with a Chance, bore me to tears. Too many commercials add to the frustration.
Most of the time I just don't have any control over the TV. However, when UK plays (football, BASKETBALL, etc) my mom and I have total control. No one but me or her has the remote in hand during the two to three hours until the game's end. From the beginning of the football season to the end of basketball, we watch every game possible, no matter what someone was viewing earlier.
