TV

I think that TV is a great way to relax as long as you watch in moderation. TV allows us to escape from the everyday and focus on something other than what’s next on our to-do list. I, like pretty much every other American, have several favorite TV shows. My favorites are NCIS, Desperate Housewives, and Gossip Girl. My favorite of my favorites is NCIS; it’s a great show with action and comedy and intriguing characters. These shows provide me with a few hours a week of pure entertainment, three hours when I don’t have to be focused on doing anything else.
I do think that the overall amount of TV watched by Americans today is excessive, but does that make all the TV we are watching bad? I don’t think so. I think TV shows themselves are harmless; it’s the amount of TV shows Americans watch that’s bad. Yes, in general, Americans watch way too much TV, but like I said, I think it’s okay as long as you are watching in moderation.
