I personally love TV. Whenever I have free time, which is not often, you can find me laying down on the couch watching reruns of Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones, The Blacklist, and other shows that are similar. I believe I enjoy the relaxed feeling while watching TV. The time of day most families will watch TV is at night after a long and exhausting day, so it enables them to forget about real life for an hour or two.
TV provides a good source of entertainment and is a good place for advertisements. Notice that around dinner time, most TV ads will be about restaurants, this is because companies know that there are families discussing what is for dinner while the TV is on in the background, and if a member of the family hears the name of a restaurant, maybe not even consciously, the likelihood that they recommend that place of dining is more likely.
Society has become a shallow place where all anyone really cares about is glitz and glam. Many people would find who won a Nobel Prize boring. Society has been shaped into caring about celebrities, and who wore what on the red carpet. The future generations have the capability to change society, let's see if they take the opportunity.
