Emily Crum: Assignment 5

I watch television as a form of entertainment and sometimes as background noise for when I need to power through meaningless assignments from school. The shows that I like to watch are Scrubs, Rick and Morty, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Good Place, The Walking Dead, and Preacher. I think that television can provide a good form of entertainment, but I believe that other forms of entertainment (such as cards and board games) do a better job of uniting families and friends. It can also be informative if the television being watched is educational programming. Like everything else in life, television should be used in moderation. I typically only watch television on Netflix or as a download; so besides product placement, advertisements don't reach me that much. I think that it is a sad statement about society that more people pay attention to the Emmy's than to the Nobel Prizes. Except the Emmy's are Hollywood  related, so it makes sense that they are glitzier(seeing as that's part of the allure of awards shows). I believe that some people make television out to be more evil than it is, as long as you don't let the watching get out of control, television is fine.
