I have to admit that I watch my fair share of television. I think I keep it in moderation though. I watch TV because it's nice not to think for a while after hours of school, homework, extra-curricular activities, community service, etc. Sometimes it's just nice to sit down and be a couch potato.
But I also don't watch too much television because if I don't have a limit then all my time gets taken away and I can say goodbye to the A+ on Dewees' test. Also, there are so many better things to do other than stare vacantly at a glowing screen forever. It's enough to make your eyes bleed. Another thing about television is that within many of the shows the theme is centered on violence, criminal activity, people who do stupid things to win money, and so on. I'm not saying I don't watch cop shows or forbid them completely, but watching that kind of stuff all the time doesn't seem to be helping my mental health.
I have 5 main shows that I like: Hawaii Five-O, Doctor Who, Sherlock, White Collar, and AGT*. So most of them are drama/action (Five-O, Sherlock, W.C.). The stories and mystery that goes along with them are what interest me the most. Like in Sherlock, you're constantly trying to keep up with Sherlock when he's solving a case. In White Collar Season 4 you're trying to piece together little bits of Neal's past and wondering what's going to happen in his future. Doctor Who is just another British show that a friend got me hooked on - whereas the special effects aren't always great, the plots are good and you just fall in love with the characters. America's Got Talent is a show I love because of all the crazy talents that people have - most I've never seen before.
*It seems I watch a lot of TV with all these shows but since they're all showing at different time of the year I only watch about 2 hours at most a week (if I'm lucky).
