TV

There are lots of reasons one would want to watch the television, as it has so much to offer. You can learn about the news, weather, cooking, space, and all kinds of stuff. The only thing i watch on tv is sports, the news, and occasionally a funny show like the office or scrubs. I think tv is a good way to relax and take your mind off things.
I think the biggest part of tv is the news. The news helps us to connect to the rest of the world, and be aware of whats happening in places from New York to California. I don't think there are many instances when tv is an inane use of time. If your supposed to be doing something else like homework or your english, and instead you just watch tv, its a waste of time. Other than that tv is a great luxury to have when used in moderation.
I think its a bad thing that the Emmy's have a ton of attention when Nobel Prizes don't. The Emmys, to me at least, aren't even a huge deal. Even compared to the grammys or oscars i don't care about them hardly at all. That being said, Nobel Prizes are really important, and i think its a bad thing these don't get at least a block of programming on television.
