Let’s talk television…TV plays a big role in most of our lives and it always helps to be conscious of your routines.
First off, you never wanna catch yourself being the mindless clouch plopper. These are the individuals who get home and have nothing to do for the rest of the night but aimlessly rome wherever the remote takes 'em. That’s when you know you could use a few more interests.
On the other hand, if you’re a TV virgin and claim that you’re “too busy” or don’t care for television, well that’s equally suspicious (although sometimes excusable).
Subscribing to HBO and Showtime is just like springing for premium clothing. You enjoy the finer things in life.
Meanwhile, sticking ONLY to sports and/or the news might require more branching out. Listen, I’m a big sports fan but why deprive yourself from the rest of the entertainment that's out there?
Reality shows, contests and soap operas have to be taken on a case by case basis. Some are good natured and entertaining (American Idol, Top Chef), and others are… well ... more questionable (MTV's 16 and Pregnant??).
Cartoon Comedies like South Park and Family Guy show you have a sense of humor. Always a plus.
Then of course, there are the sitcoms. You'd be surprised as to how your favorites can become ingrained in your life. For example, my buddy JB, (the Sprezz Handbook contributor) finds a woman who can “speak Seinfeld” to be the ultimate turn on.
What do your TV habits say about you?
