I have
not been a serious watcher of television in several years. There isn't a single
event or reason why I have stopped watching TV.
Way back when I used to be a regular TV viewer, I gradually lost
interest in the programming; sitcoms like the Big Bang Theory were cheesy and
unamusing, and the popular dramas were unoriginal and boring. Around this same
time, I gained an interest in film and music. Gradually at first, then almost
completely, films, music, and TV dramas (good ones, like Breaking Bad or The
Sopranos) replaced TV programming. This
might be because most popular TV shows try to reach as large of an audience as
possible. The easiest and cheapest way
to do this is to create an unoriginal and accessible show, and the more
difficult route being to create an engaging and unique show. Television
networks, wanting a low-risk money maker, usually favor the former. Perhaps
this is why I abandoned television with
very little regrets.
