For the Love and Hate of Television- Noah Welch

       I do not have a strong opinion about TV one way or the other. I have never watched a full television series, but I do enjoy watching football and a movie every now and again. I do not watch a lot of TV because, I do not have a lot of spare time and the spare time that I do have I spend reading. What this question boils down to is a matter of perspective. What do you feel is a waste of time?  Is it wrong to watch two hours or more of TV after you have completed all of your other tasks? I personally think TV is harmless unless you let it rule your life.  Watching TV occasionally, usually, doesn’t hurt anyone.  It is a pastime that people use to have fun and enjoy themselves. However, TV becomes a problem when people watch it obsessively.  TV can be like drugs that suck people into an endless loop of sorrow and procrastination. I also think airing TV awards on TV just makes sense. The noble prize is a prestigious award and it is above TV. The Nobel Prize isn’t a popularity contest. It has different worth and value than the Emmys.
