As much as I wish I didn't, I absolutely love TV. I follow several shows throughout the year allowing me to procrastinate and waste time. I love TV because it is an easy way to relax and block out anything else happening around me. When I watch television, I completely forget about school and homework or whatever else is bothering me. I also find many TV shows incredibly entertaining. I follow the shows Suits, The Office, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Covert Affairs, White Collar, and The Amazing Race, but I will watch any show that seems entertaining. My interests are broad in that some shows are comedies and others are more serious. For some strange reason, I also will watch incredibly trashy TV marathons for hours and think they are funny (ie Jersey Shore, Honey Boo Boo).
I find most TV to be an unnecessary waste of time, but I do not think that it "rots my brain." I think some TV is an effective source of entertainment because it actually makes you think and pay attention rather than sit back and become a zombie. I definitely recommend Suits on USA because it is an engaging, witty, and dramatic show that most audiences rave over. I believe the value of television is underrated by many because they stereotype shows into boring, predictable, and pointless plots with often cheesy acting.
I have a love/hate relationship with TV and I hope that I will have the willpower to limit my time being spent staring at a screen so I can be more productive in my spare time.
