Addiction to Television

Hi, my name is Shep. I am NOT addicted to tv. It amazes me how many people are. Sure, I watch television for background noise when I’m doing other things, but I DO NOT base my life around programs like more and more Americans do each day. Am I the only one who thinks that this is ridiculous? Tivo has become the standard for people who can’t watch every single one of their television programs. Tivo the OC tonight, I can’t watch it. Tivo Survivor because I’ll be watching American Idol which is on at the same time. It is horrifying how addicted we as a society have become.

What pulled this little rant from the depths of my mind? Someone came into the computer lab today when I was working. She had a portable television and was watching tv while browsing the net. It is so sad that she couldn’t leave her television to come to class and/or the computer labs.

    Hi, my name is Kim and I am a TV addict. Let me also remind you or should I just say “Saved by the Bell”

    well, saved by the bell is not just tv. that is a piece of tv history that is above every other program on tv, ever. besides, its been a long while since those saved by the bell afternoons. they NEED to put it back on tv.

    i agree with the TV. i saw that woman you were talking about. she was watching a soap opera. she should just drop out of college if she’s stupid enough to be watching that trash.

    i get addicted to late-night C-SPAN re-runs during big debates in Congress. but i’m a dork like that.

    I still can’t help wondering if this is not just a case of the pot calling the kettle black
