Having a favorite TV show tells all you need a life and easily manipulated.
Look at the English major, sitting at the dock, waiting for their plane to arrive.
You might want to take a look at what constitutes Television today before shooting your mouth off. The competition for content is creating amazing work. Kevin Spacey, Jane Fonda, Morgan Freeman are some of the names you may recognize on TV right now but the list of Directors, Writers and creative people of all types that is flocking to television is truly amazing and has been growing for, I'd guess, over a decade now.
What's even more amazing then the incredible talent TV is attracting is the amount of variety that is available. Docu-drama, science fiction, comedy, cooking shows, home improvement, childrens educational, documentaries, drama's, series...the list is mind boggling endless.
My favorites...Master Chef, Suits, NCIS, The Good Wife, Person of Interest, Shark Tank, Restaurant Impossible, Walking Dead, Talking Dead, Antiques Road Show, I'm glad I don't have any pay channels...I'm sure I'd never be able to keep up.
NGW just had a special on...T-Rex autopsy. I sell fossils for a living. A, full scale, resin replica of a T-Rex skull costs between $8000 to $12000...not the real thing but a replica. It took 6 months and over 10,000 man hours to make this full scale replica T-Rex. Let me help you with the math; if the 'craftsmen/artists' that put this creature together got paid a pitiful $10 an hour...that's over $100,000 in only labor costs. You haven't even paid for the materials, designs, tools, actors, camera men, food for the crew...um are you getting the picture? What's the payoff...hopefully a lot but I suspect they barely broke even.
I love being manipulated like this. Insofar as needing a life...guilty but in your case...responding negatively to those that love free entertainment is not exactly what Oprah (Black woman who made her biggest mark in television...often considered the most powerful woman in the world) has in mind when she thinks of a life fulfilled; what's your excuse?
