Assignment #5, Juliann Hyatt, I don't watch TV unless I'm concussed


Recently, due to Time Warner Cable raising their prices for no reason, my family got rid of cable. We don’t miss it. The last time I was invested in a TV show that wasn’t already released on Hulu or Netflix was with Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, but after a few seasons the show aired later and later at night and became more of a time traveling space soap opera than a behind-the-scenes look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now I listen to the occasional Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode while cleaning and rewatch the first few seasons of Pokemon when I have a concussion. I guess television fell out of favor with me when I started being able to predict the ending of shows and seeing the actors as actors. I started feeling bad about what certain actors had to do to each other to do their job, and how some actors were objectified. So now I just don’t watch. Unless I have a concussion, and can’t do anything other than watch TV without getting a splitting headache.
