My misfortune of two little brothers results in the TV constantly staying on. I hate having to come home and attempt to do homework to the faint murmur of Disney Channel throughout the night. I don't watch many of their shows directly, but they at least sound like a waste of time.
But I would be lying if I said I didn't spend much time viewing television shows. There are shows out there that are clever, intelligent, moving, capable of teaching valuable lessons (such as how not to live your life), and so on. The beauty of American television is that, with hundreds of channels each showing hundreds of programs, there is always something to at least mildly entertain. However, TV is addicting. Just like the internet, it can effortlessly grasp the attention of whoever is willing, resulting in countless hours spent in ignorance of reality. I know that I could easily be a prime suspect of monotonous channel-flipping, so I tend to watch most of my shows online. Sure, I could easily survive without a television...so long as I still had internet access.
