TV and Stuff

To me, TV is like that little kid that's always being overshadowed by his big brother. Really, just about anything that is aired on TV can be re-watched anytime on the computer. Yet with such a disadvantage, I still give it attention as it does have its own perks, a comfy sofa and the big plasma screen being the first things that come to mind. And even with the absurd amount of reruns, once a episode of Family Guy comes on, you can find me sitting tightly on the sofa with some snacks and possibly a drink.

More people watch the Emmy's than the Nobel Prize, and some are upset over that. Don't be. People who watch TV want to be entertained, and what seems more entertaining to you: your favorite actors and actress duking it out to bring home the gold, or some scientist you never heard of win something for a concept you can't understand? Most people neglect to watch the Nobel Prize not because they don't care about advances in science, but because they don't understand the information; really, anyone outside the scientific community couldn't understand. Besides, the last thing the scientists want is a crowd watching the Nobel Prize just because it's the intellectual thing to do.
