Assignment 5: For the love and hate of Television -Keionna Bailey

How can one possibly hate television? Watching TV is amazing you get to experience things outside of your world, you can see what life is like elsewhere. I watch TV because there's not too much you can do in Lexington, Ky. But even if I did live somewhere more exciting I would most likely watch the same amount of TV as I do now. I love getting so involved in a movie or television series to point where its like I'm a part of the process and I'm actually in the show. But the best part of Television is the shows. My favorite shows that are on right now are Scandal, Revenge, How to get away with Murder, Vampire Diaries, the 100,...etc. I could go on and on. And as you can see I love all different types of genres. I love the everything from reality and mystery suspense to sci-fi and fantasy. Whenever I watch a show it just makes me wonder, does all of this happen in real life? The one show I absolutely hate is The Walking Dead! That show is just like one long movie that needs to end and I don't know why so many people like it. I feel like nothing ever really gets accomplished and the same things happen every season.

 A lot of people watch TV for the news and politics but I'm not a fan of either one. The news reporters always have to report the most negative events that are happening which is just depressing and if I wanted to know about politics I would go online or just go downtown and listen to debates. And some even wonder why more people would rather watch entertainment award shows rather than ground breaking educational awards show. And it might seem like I'm being hateful but in my opinion television is more for the entertainment business. When people come home from work and school they want to unwind and laugh they don't want to watch some show that just makes it seem like they never actually left work.
