Don't worry, Horatio 'll have this case wrapped up in an hour


Television is a great invention, and there aren’t many things better than lying on the couch with the clicker in your hand and having absolute power over what images appear. That being said, I don’t watch any shows religiously except for one: The Jersey Shore. It is the funniest show ever and you are in denial if you don’t agree. Because no one is too good or too important or too “classy,” that they can’t laugh at the things those people do. I mean GTL. How can a person be so ridiculous to even invent that? It’s hilarious. And the things “The Situation” says. You have to laugh at it. Also, some sitcoms can be funny, but they run out of soap and become uninteresting. That’s why cable companies are always creating new ideas, and the “best new show on television.”
Shows I hate. I don’t really hate any shows, but it’s funny how a show that you never watch can have you stuck like glue to the screen for 30 minutes, even if you flipped to it halfway-through. However, I do thinks it a bit ridiculous if a person watches shows like CSI, or Psych, or Law and Order every single week. Like honestly, you seriously didn’t think they were gonna catch the murderer? I promise you Jerry Bruckheimer will not disappoint. It’s basically pointless, at the end of the show you are at the same point you were at the beginning. But I do refer back to a few lines above, where it is very easy to be sucked in to a show for a few minutes, but if you are planning your whole evening around CSI:Miami, you might have a problem.
All of that being said, I don’t hold a grudge against a person who watches a lot of TV, it’s entertaining. Mostly though, because I just don’t care, if you want your hobby to be knowing everything about all the characters and thinking you know the way a made up person is going to act next Wednesday at 9, then that’s fine. I’d say at least 75% of the TV I watch is sports, and some people think that’s pointless too, but at least athletes are real people, and the ending of a game is always unpredictable. So TV is wonderful, and life would suck and be so much different without it, but I’m just not the kind of person who is consumed enough to watch a show every week. And advertising I think was a result of TV, because back in the good ol days there weren’t commercials until companies realized how many people watched it, and how simple it would be to market their product through it.
