A TV is more than just an electronic box with pictures on it. A TV is a magical device that allows us to transcend reality. When we turn on our TV, we leave behind our worldly concerns and issues for a utopia of mindless enjoyment (at least until the commercial break). TVs allow us to live out our fantasies, feel better about ourselves by mocking others, escape our own struggles, and experience all the emotions we could ever want without leaving the safety of the couch. These are the reasons I watch TV. To be more specific, I am an avid television viewer for two reasons: to laugh and to forget about homework. My favorite shows are clever comedies such as The Office, The League, Wilfred, and South Park (Okay, perhaps not so clever). I also enjoy dramas along the lines of Breaking Bad and Prison Break. Sci-fi shows like Firefly and on-again/off-again Doctor Who. I despise any show attached to the Disney label in post-Suite Life of Zach and Cody era. Dog with a Blog? Are you kidding me? I fervently hate anything that aired on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon after 2005. Shows like Fan Boy and Chum Chum and people wonder why the rest of the world hates us Americans....
