Television

I watch television because it entertains me. Simple as that. If something is entertaining (and appropriate), then I don't see why you wouldn't watch it. Unless I have a bunch of homework to do or places to go, I'll probably either be on the internet or watching TV. The fact that television is so readily available with so many options of what to watch makes it hard to resist. At any given time, there's probably something on that would entertain me. That's the problem, though. Someone with little self control that is put in that situation would have a really hard time getting anything done. Priorities are important; I'll try to finish my homework before I watch TV, or have some time allotted afterward to do it.

The shows I like include How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Tosh.0, and Wilfred. I'm a fan of comedy. I also watch sports and SportsCenter very often, and the news every so often. The shows I dislike are mostly those lame reality shows. Not all, but most. It all just seems so fake.

As for what the whole Emmy's-Nobel situation says about society, I'm not sure if it is good or bad. But it is unavoidable; TV appeals to a much larger crowd than the Nobel Prizes. Naturally, this would mean more coverage and attention on the Emmy's. It's a shame of course, because the Nobel Prizes signify such great achievements in the real world. But I'm not sure if I can see a way around it.
