Prompt: Why do you watch TV? Why do you not?
What shows do you love or hate?
Watching TV
has become more and more of a rarity for me in the last few years. I used to
watch all kinds of TV, it’s just what I did to pass the time I wasn’t doing
anything else. Nowadays, I have a job, I’m in a very time-consuming sport, I’m
in the midst of the toughest and most important academic year of my life, I
have responsibilities at home and at church, and I have a girlfriend. There are
very few days when I watch any Television.
Generally,
the only reasons I turn on the TV are for Virginia Tech Football games,
Kentucky Basketball games, significant political events, and the news when
something I find interesting happens out there in the world.
If for some
strange reason, there was a duration long enough that I could watch an actual
show, I would most likely watch a show that I have experience with in the past,
because I don’t particularly enjoy experimenting with new programs. The
programs I can enjoy, off the top of my head, are The Office, Lost, Whale Wars,
and The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead I love the most, not even mostly for the
basis or plot of the show, but the writing and cinematography of the show is
truly outstanding. I can’t stand the stereotypical “TLC shows” such as Dance
Moms, Honey Boo Boo, whatever they call the one about teen pregnancy now, etc.
These shows all promote and glorify bad behavior for their viewers, and I
refuse to support them.
