Random Thought: Is it Time to Smash My TV? Reality TV? Hah! Reality TV. If that isn’t an oxymoron, I don’t know what is. Scripted banality under the ruse of a documentary. How much time do we spend watching TV? Is it safe for our children? Are Hollywood values, misleading advertisers and fast food promises affecting our fragile, human souls? Maybe. The one question, however, the one and only question that you have to ask yourself, is this very, very important one: How do I feel after I watch all that stuff? How do I feel after I have sat on the couch for four hours on Sunday afternoon, watching another listless daytime matinee, one more rerun of an old detective show, a professional sports game filled with overpaid, self-absorbed jerks, or Martha Stewart’s Guide to Fantasy Living? Most of us feel groggy, dazed, and just plain exhausted. Is it really worth it? Isnt it time to smash the TV and go outside and play? Okay. Gotta go. Im only on season 7 and way behind on my 24 marathon.
