"I'm sleeping tonight with my television on"


I love my TV. I’m not addicted and sit on my bed and watch it for hours on end, but having a TV is really nice. I turn it on when I’m getting ready, cleaning my room, or when I need something mind numbing to wind down. It’s nice to turn on the TV and have some background noise while you’re doing something or to sit down and pop into a different world for an episode or two.

In all honesty I don’t really watch all that much TV since its all on the internet. However, my family and I love watching Chopped, Cupcake Wars, Cake Boss, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Say Yes to the Dress, and the movies on ABC family whenever we have time together. My personal favorite shows that I try to follow are (that I watch online but they’re technically TV shows so I’ll count them) are BBC’s Sherlock (THANKS ANNIE AND PAIGE!), New Girl, Being Human, and Raising Hope.

However, I dislike reality television, as in the whole 16 and Pregnant, Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Toddlers and Tiaras scene. Part of it is that I think it’s trashy and petty, and then there’s also what reality television does to those that are in it. I feel like by being filmed for reality television, people have to change or some of it has to be scripted for it to be marketable. By doing either or it really could damage relationships, but it makes for a good reunion episode.
