Television- and too much of it.

To be completely honest, I don’t get very many opportunities to watch too much TV, especially during the school year. But I do watch it some, and when I do, I like to watch the occasional scary movie, or Law and Order: SVU, NCIS, or some older shows- as with everything else, it just depends. One of those is usually on whenever I have free time. It can be helpful for news and everything, but it’s not usually my main source for entertainment or information, even though there is a TV in just about every room in the house, and I’m sure most people could say the same.

TV can provide a decent form of entertainment, but not all the time. There has to be a line drawn between TV time and the time people spend doing more productive things. Advertisers definitely use television to their advantage, but I doubt that is working very well now. I mean, I just mute my TV during the commercials and do something else until it comes back on. Other people just skip through them or watch the show online, just so they don’t have to see all of the ads, which isn't going to help those companies sell their products any more than most other ways of getting their ads to consumers.
