Personally I watch a lot of TV. There is always at least one TV on in my house. If someone is in their room, the TV is on, even if we're doing homework. If someone is downstairs, the TV is on, even if we're eating a meal. My sister and I watch a lot of Netflix, actually that's all we watch. My mom prefers to watch the news or her recordings of previous drama series or action series she missed the night before.
TV definitely can be excessive at some points, a distraction, and even a bad influence, but it is a good form of entertainment. Families and friends can bond over TV time and common interests in shows. You can even multitask without it taking up too much of your attention. TV is a convenient delivery system for advertisers to send out their messages to the masses. That's why you see clever and new commercials during highly televised events that a lot of our population watches, like the Superbowl, The Emmy's, Grammy's, AMA's. A lot of these commercials are beneficial because the audience can see new products they'd like to buy for their benefit. We all watch these events to root for your home team or see the new styles all the celebrities are wearing or see your favorite stars and musicians take the stage.
I think our country is kind of a shallow country, caring more about the latest fashion and celebrities and football teams instead of the people further advancing our nation, the ones earning Nobel Prizes and Pulitzer Prizes. Honestly I didn't even know that the Nobel Prizes were announced on television. This is bad because half of us probably don't even know what these are, nor the people who win them.
