For the Love and Hate of Television-Rachel Hart

I watch TV purely for entertainment. If something isn’t entertaining or keeping my interest I switch the channel or turn it off. I find no need to bore myself with something that isn’t entertaining. Usually I turn on the TV because there is nothing else to do.  I enjoy watching shows on Food Network, TLC, Animal Planet and ABC Family. I love watching The Fosters, Duck Dynasty, Too Cute: Puppies and Switched at Birth. I hate watching usually anything my brother watches; Dinners, Drive In and Dives; and Hoarders. I do think the TV does provide an adequate form of entertainment. Though I think there are many other forms of entertainment that are better ways to receive entertainment. I don’t understand why some parents believe that it’s good to use the TV as a form of a babysitter when they could entertain their children with so other activities like coloring or playing outside.  Companies realize that parents do this and target those children through their commercials because it is an easy way to reach a lot of people
