Debate: Television

Following m'learned friend's cultural initiative of yesterday, this blog moves that no earthly good has ever come of watching television. It's not called the 'idiot box' for nothing. Watching television rots your brain, fattens your body, alienates your friends, and ultimately takes over your LIFE!!!

Or does it?

What do you think?

I say tish and verily nonsense to you. Though we just have the basic five channels, the TV itself shouldn't be castigated. If celebrity boob swap cooking for gardeners or whatever is what people will accept as entertainment, then fine - disappointing, but fine. And in terms of the many-a-channel TV set-ups that occupy most homes nowadays, I hear good things about The History Channel and BBC Three, and I do occasionally long for BBC Four.

So. There.

Nah, there's lots of good stuff on, like the National Football League, Discovery Channel, History Channel. You CAN be rotted, though, if you watch enough reality shows.
