1. I don't watch much TV at all. Probably 2-3 hours a week, now that football is over, and only in small amounts at a time. I do, however, listen to about 12 hours or radio a week. I listen to Loveline, which is a talk show with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. I only listen to music on the radio on short trips when I don't feel like searching for a CD.
2. On TV I watch reruns: Simpsons, Seinfeld and That 70's Show. I also watch Arrested Development on Sundays, and occassionaly, I'll leave SNL on while I play CS on a Saturday night. Radio: I listen to Loveline, and occassionaly music.
3. I listen to the radio because it keeps me entertained when I drive. I listen to loveline every night because I have been since 4th grade (I'm in 11th now), and I think it is the funniest show on the radio.
4. I don't know why I watch TV. TV is crap. I only really watch reruns, and that's because it is of old shows I liked....I'm not into reality TV, so I don't really keep up with the new stuff on TV. I have a TV void present in certain converastions. Oh well, I can tear you a new one if you want to indulge in music.
5. TV: Movies. Really, I wouldn't give a damn if I lost the ability to watch broadcasted TV shows. But, I use my TV as a projection for movies. That's why I like my TV. Radio: I like listening to Adam Carolla, he's one of the funniest men alive.
6. Changes? Well, first off, get rid of reality TV. It's crap. Second, get rid of the modern day sitcom. It also is crap. Radio: less commercials that involve penis and male enhancement, and more music. And when I say music, I mean less mainstream and more small stuff. And not even that. I mean, play some Melvins or something every once in a while for christ's sake.
Ahhhhh....good times.
My monitor is flickering right now. Stupid CRT piece of crap. Time to buy a new one.
