I have always watched T.V. shows for one very simple reason: To escape. What could I mean by escape? I deal with reality every waking moment of the day, but for that hour or half an hour of television, I get to escape from it all. Enjoy a world where people solve their problems, get to do things I have always wanted, and the consequences never seem to be too harsh. Same with movies and video games, that's why I do those things. I'm sure I'm not the only one...
