Assignment 5-Garrett Uebelhor

Why do I watch television? I’m too lazy to change. Since I was a young child television has been part of my daily life. Just as one’s daily routine involves brushing their teeth, mine involves TV. Of course there are other reasons I like to watch TV, I enjoy the comedy shows and being plunged into a fictional world, yet the fact that television was ingrained into my very DNA as a child is probably the number one reason why I watch TV. My favorite shows usually involve some scientifically advanced or magical world, but not always. Just a short list of favorites would include Merlin, Doctor Who, Firefly, Walking Dead, Supernatural, and so many other shows which I have left out. Long story short: I Like a lot of shows. Although I mentioned that I like a lot of shows, do not in any way believe that I don’t dislike a lot as well. Primarily on this list would be most things on Hallmark and TLC. Although a few decent shows, most concepts are rather archaic and cliché.  As a whole though, I very much enjoy the guilty pleasure that is watching TV. Could I use the time more wisely? Probably, but personally television viewing gives me a way to alleviate stress and forget worries. And for this, I truly love TV.
