I'm sorry, I don't watch TV.

Here is the thing, I don't watch TV. I own a TV, but the only thing it is hooked up to is the X-box I don't play. So no, I won't get that pithy reference to Desperate Housewives you just made, and no, the comment I am making has nothing to do with last nights reality TV show crapfest. It isn't that TV is bad, or that TV is bad for you, I am not one of those people who goes about extolling the evils of TV, TV isn't evil, it just is. Unfortunately, I find the vast majority of crap on TV is just that, crap. It isn't that it is unoriginal, nothing is really original anymore, it is just that I don't find most of it terribly entertaining. Sure it works for some, but not for me. That doesn't mean that I have abandoned the half to hour long serial as a medium, what it does mean is that I am no longer a slave to the oppressive vacuum tubes of the tyrannical broadcasting machine. I prefer to take in my shows on my terms, and fortunately the entertainment industry is finally getting on the bandwagon and throwing their creations on the Internet.

Now I can watch the shows I want, and only the shows I want, when I want, and how I want. Its great. For once the world seems to be changing in favor of the consumer, rather than against them.
