I feel that its a little sad when people are missing out on so much other things due to their concern with celebrities and drama yet I think that it is understandable that these programs and shows would be more interesting to the vast majority of people. While one is definitely more important than the other, I think most would agree, people don't want to get on TV and watch something serious one would much rather watch the glitz and the glam of the Emmy's and this should be allowed.

I know that I watch TV to get away from everything else that is going on and submerge myself in a whole other story. Yet I feel without TV I would be much less distracted from other things such as school work.

Overall I don't think its the TV that is the problem; I think it is the way we use the TV that is harming our society. The violence that is so entertaining on TV is also desensitizing the youth that is watching it even if it is not immediately noticed. Yet there are shows that strengthen the society through learning programs for toddler and children that broaden their learning.
