What is it with TV?

What is it with TV? TV takes up entirely too much of everyone’s time.  We know this yet we watch and watch and watch.  The average american watches 5 hours of TV a day. We just sit on our ever expanding asses and watch. We consume cheap TV shows and fake news just like we consume processed food and disposable products. Not only is all these hours of watching TV making us fat but it is making us dumber.  Does real life suck so much that we have to dull ourselves with mindless hours of TV?  Maybe we are just so frustrated with our own lives that we escape into other people’s lives on TV.  Ever notice how no one on TV actually sits and watches TV? Time to turn the TV off and find out what life is all about.
