TV junkie

I hate to admit it, but I’m definitely a TV junkie. I love it more than anything (but not really) and have so many favorite TV shows. As sad as it sounds, TV is a big thing in my family and something we all really enjoy, especially when all six of us can find a show that we enjoy even a little bit. But, during the week, we aren’t allowed to watch it and can only catch up on our shows on the weekend. Speaking of, my favorites are: Friends (I’ve probably seen every episode a million times), The Office, Craft Wars, Modern Family, The Middle, Pretty Little Liars (super girly show but I don’t care), Survivor, The Amazing Race, Gossip Girl, Grey’s Anatomy, Awkward, Saturday Night Live, Keeping Up with the Kardashians (shallow reality show, but sorry I’m not sorry), and honestly, the list goes on and on.
I don't really have any shows I hate; I figure if I like shows like KUWTK and Gossip Girl, other people are entitled to have their own guilty pleasures as well. I know there's supposed to be a difference between 'quality' television and 'trashy' television, but what does it really matter? Is TV supposed to be something we actually learn from? What really gets me going is when people judge me by what I watch. If I watch shows that I enjoy and you watch shows that you enjoy, there's no need to get your panties in a wad about it if they're not the same type of program. Is there really a difference between two genres of something that's supposed to suck you in?

I watch TV because it’s just the way I entertain myself. I’m always up for a good comedy (if the show makes me laugh, I watch it) any day of the week. And while people keep saying that they’re not people that like to sit in front of the TV for more than an hour, I don’t care that half of my Saturdays are TV. I don’t watch TV during the week, and I still get things done while I’m watching it on the weekends. It doesn’t control my life at all, but it’s just another thing that geeks me out. I watch it because I like it and it takes me to another place.
