TV and My Dying Interest
When I was a younger kid, I watched TV almost compulsively! Some highlights of my childhood memories occured on CartoonCartoon Friday's, when "that one episode" of Spongebob came on, or when Ed, Edd, n' Eddy did "something". I loved the cartoons on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon exclusively, until they all took a one way trip to the garbage bin starting around 2005. CN, formely Cartoon Network, had cancelled all of their classic shows, and the beloved Toonami anime block, and simply cluttered their line-up with cheaply made, unoriginal, and foreign cartoons. Nickelodeon fell when they switched almost exclusively to live-action sitcom. This drop in quality and my adolescence combined to completely erase any interest in those channels. After then, I explored the other channels. I found great programming on FX (movies), Discovery (entertainment with explosions), History (edutainment), and sometimes MTV. I say sometimes because while I LOVE "Ridiculousness" with it's toned-down "Jackass" humor, "Teen Mom" and all it's similiar shows are complete trash. Today, when I watch TV, I usually just scroll through my favorite channels to see if they are showing anything good. If not I just use "Ol' Reliable" Netflix on my Xbox. Also, I am a big fan of YouTube commentators/comedians. A few of which include "Robbaz", "Cr1TiKaL", and "Azuritereaction". So in summary, their ADULT humor and my favorite shows (namely MLP:FiM) on Netflix serve as my entertainment.
