10 things I hate about TV


I love television, and I think that its possibly the greatest invention of all time. Its a great way for people to be able to get info, be entertained, or even sometimes learn something. Unfortunately, because of all the corporations and rights to free enterprise in this country lead to there being some things on tv that we as viewers can really do without. There are about 1,000,000 things on tv that annoy me and I'm sure the rest of the country as well. Ten of these things are;

10. Reality tv (honestly, who needs to see people acting "real" tv, if you want to see drama and action, just look around your school or town, there is plenty of unnecessary drama going on there)
9. Exercise commercials (these are one of the more annoying things, where they sell products that really don't do anything, but they have a bunch of happy, thin, people using them; which brings me to my next thing I hate)
8. People on exercise commercials (the people on these commercials clearly don't actually use any of the things that they advertise, cause you don't get ripped using these rip off things, especially with "one weekly 30 second workout," and you can tell it's fake because otherwise everyone would have one)
7. Commercials w/ retired actors/athletes (these are actually kind of funny when you have someone trying to advertise for something that they clearly know nothing about)
6. Made-for-tv movies (honestly, if a movie was put straight on tv, than you can pretty much guarantee that it sucks, because who has ever seen a good made-for-tv movie)
5. Anything on Disney Channel (one of the most worthless channels on television, every single non-cartoon show has exactly the same plot line, its all about some kid or teen who gets into trouble by doing something, than gets out of it and learns something, I have no trouble with that idea of learning morals, but when its on show after show for 24 hours its gets frustrating and annoying)
4. Daytime Comedy Central (at night after 8 then comedy central becomes a comedy network, but before that its just old Mad TV episodes, made-for-tv movies, or politically correct shows)
3.Movies on tv with a one star rating (if a movie isn't a classic and has less than two stars it shouldn't be on tv, they're worse than made-for-tv movies)
2. Weight loss drug commercials (how fat is America that the tv networks have to provide weight loss drug commercials, its annoying how it is even legal for tv to advertise a commercial that sells a pill that causes its users to starve themselves)

And the #1 thing that I hate about tv is......

1. Censorship (everything that is on tv doesn't need to be censored, I absolutely hate the fact how whenever I try to watch any comedy movie I have to hear beeps or replaced words that don't go along with anything else. I completely disagree with this politically correct society that we live in. I'm not saying that I think we shouldn't act positively towards one another, but then again this idea that it is necessary to be ridiculously careful about offending people is not really that good or helpful to anything at all)
