My TV

On Monday I watched the new episode of Prison Break, throughout the week I watched several episodes of 24on DVD, and I watched the new episode of the Office on Friday. I learned that I probably spend too much time watching TV and that I have very little self control in watching 24. The episodes are just so addicting though, it's so hard to stop. TV is a really strange thing to analyze because there are so many elements of TV watching. TV is so personal; there are sporting events, game shows, reality shows, cartoons, news programs and anything and everything in between with advertisements specifically directed at each audience. TV really is all about money. The high intensity shows that I watch always end with a 'cliff hanger', causing me to want to watch the next episode. Advertisements play a great role in television and indirectly determine which shows succeed or not. Without advertising support, a TV program cannot sustain itself. I watch television for a few different reasons. If I have a stressful day and need some relaxation, I will lay in my bed, go to Hulu, and watch some TV. Most of the time I just watch for entertainment. I like to get really involved in my shows and often times become addicted.
