Why I love TV

I am passionate about the internet, but I love TV.

I love TV because of magical shows. From silly ones like Bewitched and Family Guy to cartoons like Felix the Cat and The Jetsons. From new-age soap operas like Lost and Battlestar Galactica to satirical comedy like SNL and The Daily Show. From ridiculous comedy news like Fox to nostalgic drama like Mad Men.

I love being a couch potato and zoning out. Not all the time, but sometimes it is priceless. I love the quality, and I love the trash. And thanks to my Sky box (or your Tivo), now I love the thing I never had much of with TV that always used to piss me off: control.

And sometimes (but clearly not all the time), I even like the ads, and Thompson Holidays' latest is the one that caught my eye and prompted this late-night post:
