I won't pretend to have some super cool explanation for my obsession with the tv. Tv shows are my escape, they tell stories that couldn't happen in real life. That's why I love watching the tv: it's alike reading, only much more passive. If that makes me lazy, then okay, I'll take that. I wouldn't say that my love of tv shows has to do with being lazy, though I doubt I'd pay as much attention if it did have some sort of required exercises to go along with watching tv. My love of tv comes from intricate plot lines and character depth, and the way they can make you feel for characters who aren't real and who will never be real.
It's pretty lame but I get really excited at the prospect of even telling people what my favorite tv shows are. I've always loved cartoons, though I have several non-cartoon shows that I enjoy as well. All of my favorites from my childhood still matter to me, like Avatar or the new Avatar series, The Legend of Korra. I also like Phineas and Ferb and I was in the middle of watching Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes but I just sort of stopped watching it. Now, to prove that I'm not entirely immature, I have other shows that I tend to obsess over more. Who can resist falling in love with Sherlock (I mean the show, the character, as lovable as I find him, is a jerk) for its intense storylines and amazing characters? While I also like humorous shows such as Modern Family, The Office, Parks and Rec, and Community, my favorites tend to be the type of overly melodramatic stuff that...well...is just that. The original Star Trek series might give some people headaches from how silly it is, but I love it for what it intended (though I do laugh at some of the cheesy lines sometimes.) I've also liked anime since I was little, and only recently have begun moving away from those as my main favorites. And lastly, Dominik has recently made me start watching Doctor Who (which I already knew I should watch, he just gave me the final push) and I've fallen in love with the story and the characters as well.
