Assignment 5 Alec

Television is like a box of chocolates, if that box had a couple pieces of dung in it. You really never know what you're going to get. there are plenty of well written, story driven shows with quality talent. These shows are well worth watching. Then you have the dung, shows like Jersey Shore, which fall under the category of "reality TV." They appeal to the least intelligent aspects of america, and serve only to waste your time. You may as well spend your time watching a ceiling fan spin as watch reality TV. Television is only as good as what you choose to watch. You can spend your time watching quality shows like Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones, you can waste your time watching crap like Jersey Shore or The Bachelor. You are reflected by what you watch; The intelligent look for entertainment that fulfills, the dumb simple look to waste time. TV serves both, yet it cant be TV's fault, it is the fault of the people who subscribe to the dung. They are the ones who are ruining television.
