I have heard of such an urban legend as have we all of those “friends” who don’t have or watch TV.  But of course I didn’t believe it.  The world would soon stop spinning if such a thing were true.  Well sadly I have to say that there are 3 people in one of my graduate classes that don’t even own tvs.  I can’t frickin’ believe it.  I would go insane.  I love TV and I am not afraid to say it.  I love TV and thank goodness for tivo–we have two of them so if I really wanted I could record 4 shows every hour.  I don’t…well at least not very often.  I have always loved TV. I have to say that it calms me.  It provides a nice little escape for me.  I’ll put it bluntly…I love to be entertained.   I use to read for entertainment and then I became an English major and reading became work and then I became an English teacher and reading as well as reading about reading became work and instead of drinking I chose TV.  I think that is a good choice.

So fess up out there…do you love TV or not?  Do you let you kiddos watch?  Mine is addicted to SpongeBob (first thing he asks for in the morning after dada).
