Reality sets in

        Television has become a big part of most peoples' everyday lives. However, television isn't nor has ever been too important to me. As a child I only remember watching TV when a Disney movie, Jurassic Park, or Saturday morning cartoon were on. Now I only watch TV when I really have nothing better to do or am having a super lazy day.

      TV has taken an interesting turn in the past years. Cartoons in the 90s where cute and funny. Now cartoon are vulgar and I don't think they have good esthetics. Most TV shows are basically the same sex centered stories except with different settings. And the worst shows in my opinion are reality TV shows.

There are so many reality TV shows on all of the time that I think they have taken over the air time. There are dating shows, dozens of cooking/baking competitions, The Real House Wives so such and such, Jersey Shore, and my least favorite: Keeping up with the Kardashians. The thing that bothers me the most about reality TV is when the shows are fallowing people make complete idiots of themselves and they get rewarded with money and fame for putting their over dramatized lives out for everyone to see. The Kardashians annoy me because they are on TV all of the time, and their show is basically them pouting about stupid things most of the time.

      I don't mean any offense to anyone who enjoys these reality shows, but when I try to think a reason why people may be so obsessed with these shows, the only thing I can come up with is that everyone is too lazy to go out and live their own lives, this is the closest to excitement they get. I would like there to be more TV shows that actually have a good and meaningful story line, till then I'd rather curl up with a good book.
