Why Television Shows Ruin Your Life!

tv ruins your life I was watching the Green Bay/Seattle game last week in complete heaven. My favorite sport, football is back for 17 weeks of pure pleasure, leading to 3 weeks of playoffs and 1 week of Super Bowl. That’s right…

I’m now happy until February. As happy as I am when football starts, I’m equally as happy when it’s over because commitment of this long drives me nuts. Anyway, I’m watching and there’s a preview for some Deborah Messing show. If you don’t know her, Deborah Messing is the actress from Will and Grace. The show is called, “The Baddest Mother.”

Television is just retarded. I’m sorry for being politically incorrect, but it really is. It’s pure stupidity. Is it supposed to be funny?

Are you supposed to think it’s believable or are you supposed to laugh at it?

There are people who spend every single evening watching TV all night long just wasting their life away. They spend hours sitting in front of the idiot box as my Mom and Dad used to call it when I was growing up. They go from watching one show to the next. If you’re someone who sits staring at the TV for hours, it tells me you’re not experience enough of life.

Are You Striving For Something Amazing In Your Life?

If you spend hours in front of the TV it means your life is so boring it isn’t entertaining you enough. You have so little entertainment in your life, you need a bunch of people to write stupid scripts about women walking up to a gun wielding maniac, and punching him in the face. And don’t even get me started on reality shows.

I can tell you for a fact reality shows aren’t real. You know how I know? I know I’ve been on them. People are as real as they can possibly be with a camera in their face. People are as real as they can be knowing a camera is following them everywhere. I mean, let’s talk about “The Bachelor.”

That’s a real show!

When are you going to have the opportunity to go into a mansion and have 25 beautiful woman competing for you?

TV is such a complete waste of time. It sits and sucks you dry. Granted, there are a few shows a year that come on and are pretty good, but the majority of stuff that comes on is just a waste of time. Instead of sitting for hours in front of the TV looking for inspiration, read a book, go out somewhere, go to a museum, work on your brain, work on who you are as a person, or communicate with people. Everyone you meet can teach you something about life or yourself. Everyone you meet can share experiences that enrich your life.

Don’t just sit there on the couch, eating Cheetos, sucking down a bottle of sugar water that’s the color of pollution (Coca-cola), and go do something with your life. Go and achieve your goals!

Bullcrap! EVERYTHING in "The Pickup Artist" was REAL, and not staged in ANY WAY.

They showed a scene where there’s a man pointing a gun at her. This guy is pointing a gun in her face and she just walks over to him before punching him. Seriously, what woman (or man for that matter) is dumb enough to walk up to someone pointing a gun at them to punch them in the face? This is just more of the feminist controlled media and "women's empowerment" The baddest mother..." I'll bet an entire carton of Marlboros this is one of their brainchildren. Yep Arnold Schwarzenegger has now become Deborah Messing in terms of badass characters. Saying look we are women we can go up to the stronger sex even when he has a weapon and take him out no problem because we are WOMEN! We are Supreme. Death to patriarchy and blah blah blah. You have even pointed out in a previous blog topic about this guy that had this great invention he wanted to use in his garage but couldn't until his wife "allowed" him to in his own house. So yes it is retarded I agree but this is just the norm in today's society... Women=Good Men=Bad.

TV is entertainment. If you´re looking for reality, head outdoors.

I watch a lot of sports and I'm inspired by the players. All these games are about failing and none of them are getting embarrassed. I'll turn as red as a tomato still when I blow it with a woman or have an awkward conversation, but I know I should still keep going. Like you said before, Peyton Manning doesn't start crying when he has an incomplete pass. That was hilarious by the way!

Great blog ! The worst are those shows where men are depicted as complete dorks and morons. I am not really sure where this started, somewhere around Al in 'Married with children' or George Costanza in Seinfeld. The show has George attracting all kinds of women, while in real life a guy like that would make each and every woman run for the hills. I sometimes feel these shows are feminist revenge or something like this. Hey, but then there was also McGyver, he always knew what to do, or Walker, Texas Ranger, to me, that guy depicts everything a man should have.

These shows are built around the concept of getting ratings. There is so much competition for tv shows, it's unreal, for us viewers, it's great, but it also brings what shock jocks used to do in the late 80's and 90's, which is...be as outrageous as you can in order to get people to either watch or talk about the show or both. The concept builds over time, what was shocking in the 90's is no longer, so they come up with more ways to be more outrageous for ratings. If the show wasn't shocking with distaste, would have it made on this blog, most likely not... David does not like the Bachelor, what a surprise there! :) Not! I remember you talking about that on a podcast with some women. Your right though, it's not what generally happens in real life, but they still call it a "reality show"...Many of them have used that show for business opportunities such as selling their own clothing line, some used to promote their acting career...while most of them found their soul mates off that show. But you can't say the show is a complete flop, some couples did find love and got married and so far, none of them have gotten a divorce. I like the show, but for entertainment purposes. I rather get to know someone off a tv show than being on a tv show. I didn't care much about "Bachelor in Paradise", which is a summer spin off from the Bachelor shows. In order to stay on that show, one had to be coupled up otherwise they were gone. So what happens? Many flip flops on the relationship, one day they were into this person, then that person goes out with someone else, then they are on the hunt for another. At the end, one couple got engaged after 3 weeks of knowing each other which is way too short of time to decide something that important. That is not reality, that was done because of the show. I bet if those two were dating off the show, they would be still dating but not engaged. I don't watch much tv, I don't have the time, but it's also not good to be so wrapped up in those shows that it confused with real life.
