Crap TV: Confession

I'm pretty conscious about the food I put into my body.  I also think it is pretty important to be mindful about the thoughts you fill yourself with.

But there is a place for TV, and crap TV in particular.  Our favorites are football, comedies like Scrubs or Arrested Development, a bit of reality TV with The Biggest Loser and the utterly terrible Grimm, which I really can't stay away from.  I was practically a fairy tale major (more on that another day) and it is filmed in Portland, so I kinda have to watch it.

I will not claim any of it has any redeeming intellectual value, not even the PBS soap opera Downton Abbey (and you know it.)  Quite the opposite is what I like about.  It has the soothing ability to completely turn my brain off and keep me sitting still after a long day at warp speed.

In addition they amuse me.  For this reason, if there was only one TV show I could watch, it would probably have to be America's Funniest Home Videos.  It is like dessert:  light, easy and totally unnecessary.  A nice little treat to have at the end of the day and probably best not to have too much of too often.
