assignment 5: for the love and hate of television Ben schaeffer

Television is practically an addiction for many people. Millions of
Americans spend their nights watching television. It is an easy way to be kept up on current events, watch sports, and be entertained. I personally watch TV because when I have nothing better to do it keeps me occupied. Usually when I'm bored and have spent my afternoon laboring in some way it is an easy way to relax. I enjoy pretty much anything that isn't noticeably bad or uninteresting. I love watching sports, especially lacrosse and Premier league Soccer. In addition, I really enjoy watching outdoors shows and the Alaskan reality shows; however, most of the time I just leave it on Sports Center. I really am intrigued by crime shows such as Law and Order. The plots seem really complicated and well though out. Either they are based off real crimes or the producers have an extra creative bone in their body. The only show I actually follow is The Walking Dead. It's pretty easy to be entertained when it's just one hour of killing zombies.
