Ever since I can remember, I have always looked forward to my favorite TV shows every week. I am a big fan of the tube- especially for my generation who prefer the computer. TV has always been considered a negative and almost lazy activity. I can understand people's negative point of view: it requires little brain activity, sitting, and you can only watch what is presented.
I don't think TV deserves such a negative reputation. I have actually learned a lot through television. Even shows like "The Simpsons" have taught me history and current events in a satirical manner. On occasion, "The Simpsons" has engaged and taught me more than any history class. And other shows like "Planet Earth" were mostly made to educate the public in an engaging manner.
Most importantly, TV allows me to relax! I have the best naps by the TV. It really reminds me that life could be worse (48 Hours, Intervention), funny (The Office), or just plain ridiculous (I Love New York).
