It seems that people today can’t live without television. TV is a major source of communication, advertisement, and entertainment, I’d be lying if I said TV isn’t a key part of my everyday life. I have 4 TVs in my house alone. Even though I rarely have time to actually sit down and watch TV throughout the week, when I do, it’s extremely relaxing (I normally watch the ABC Family dramas, probably because seeing all their problems makes me feel better about my own). TV has become an outlet for many. A way for them to escape the stress of this world and enter into a fantasy one where the characters have more issues than they do.
Having established the fact that TV has it’s advantages, I believe that we tend misuse this privilege. Most people would much rather watch their favorite sitcom to find out whether or not Ricky cheated on Amy than see the terror of what is really going on in the world. Sometimes I think that people don’t watch the news to avoid the understanding that parts of our world are in major depression right now. They refuse to face the guilt they feel when realizing they’re not doing anything to help these suffering people when they could be.
P.S.- Psych is the BEST SHOW EVERRRRRRRRR!!!! It comes on every Wednesday at 10pm on USA and the new season starts October 12th. Watch it if you want your life to be 1232983048203 times better.
