Television Addict?
Are you addicted to television? I might be. Do you have Tivo, frequent Hulu, or buy complete seasons of your favorite shows? I know I’m guilty of all three. I find myself avoiding homework to catch-up on prime time. I’m not only addicted to one show, but at least five. I do believe this is a serious problem. Not only are people addicted to their shows, but they are addicted to many shows that have similar plot lines and characters. I mean, how many crime shows does the world need? There’s only so many crimes.
My suggestion for you television addicts, get out of the house. Instead of living your lives vicariously through characters in your favorite shows (that don’t even exist!), do something productive. You should make your life worthy of becoming a t.v. show. I find that I get more stuff done if I make a to-do list. It makes me feel accomplished when I can check off things that I’ve been putting off for months. Also, pick a few shows to ‘follow’. A little escape from reality can be good from time-to-time.

I could not agree more!! I find myself watching a lot of television when I am at home over the summer. However when I am at school there are only 2 shows that I follow due to the fact that I do not have time to watch T.V. I could not agree with you more, I think during the summer I need to focus on living my own life and work on that “to do list” like you said! Thanks for getting me thinking. This was a interesting topic!
America has a sickness. And Asian countries too, I try to “illegally” watch alot of shows, and they usually have Asian subtitles, no wonder stars are such a big deal though. Everyone demands their work, why would they stop?
I do not believe I am addicted to television. I do not really watch much tv at all. I only normally watch tv when there is either football on, or I will sometimes watch American Idol and Americas Best Dance Crew, but that is it!
I would not consider that to be addicted to tv. I do not follow shows or anything serious like that, such as grey’s anatomy, one tree hill, or shows along those lines. I will watch them if they are on but I would not say that I am addicted.
Don’t hate on the addicts, thank you.
