I do love the TV, it's a great invention, but I must admit that I hate it sometimes. I’m sure many of you know how easy it is to spend far too much time on the couch. Since I've got at least 50 different channels to choose from and the fact that there is always possible to watch something, even during night-time, I spend far too much time in front of the TV watching programs I don't even like, when I could have done something more useful instead.
On the other hand I love the nights when the kids are asleep, the house is quiet and I can relax in front of my favorite TV-series. To dream away and live the lives of the characters for a little while is a great way of escaping the real world, although I watch far too many series for my own good, most of them I don’t even like.
The series I do like airs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Therefore I rarely do something else besides watching TV those nights. Tuesday night starts with Ugly Betty, which is followed by Desperate Housewives. I’m totally in to both, but especially Desperate Housewives has caught my full attention since there is always something new going on at Wisteria Lane; Lies, murder, infidelity, stolen babies, deception, you name it.
Ugly Betty is about work and life on MODE; one of the world’s biggest fashion magazines. Actually I’m not very interested in fashion, but if you have seen an episode you know there’s so much more to love. Betty is a strong girl, always being herself regardless of what other people might think. I think Betty is a nice contrast to the girls we are used to see on TV. And of course there is Amanda. Her irresponsible “dumb-blonde-personality” is hilarious!
Despite the fact that I really dislike TV-series which takes place at hospitals since all the seasons with E.R has wore out the genre, I watch Grey’s Anatomy on Wednesdays. Just like I said about Ugly Betty, Grey’s is so much more. The intrigues never go too far, there’s lots of love and emotions and I feel like I know the characters as my own friends.
Speaking of friends, I must mention F*R*I*E*N*D*S, my all time favorite sitcom. I think I started watching Friends in 1994 and since then I have seen every episode multiple times, they never wear out. Despite the fact that I have all 10 seasons on DVD, I often watch the reruns in the afternoons.
As I said, I think TV is a great invention, even though I wonder how life would be without it. What would we do instead? I'm certain that we would be more social, spend more time with our families and talk more to each other.
But a night on the couch in front of a favorite TV-program now and then wouldn't hurt, right?

First of all, I liked the idea of just being able to sit in front of the TV and relax:)
SvaraRaderaYour text were easy to read and I think there were a flow in the text:)
But...!confused here...(paragraphing?)
No paragraphing at all? Or did it disappear? I can see where they sholud have been:)
P2 from "On the other hand I love.."
P3 from "The series I do like.."
P4 from "Speaking of friends.."
Or, did you have an other idea?
Have a nice weekend emma:)
My paragraphs disappeared! Thanks for reminding me!
SvaraRaderaDear Emma,
SvaraRaderaI meant to make one of my two comments on blog your third blog, but as it wasn't there I'm afraid I will only be able to comment on one of your six blogs. I realise that life has interfered in some way, and hope you are all right. Still, make sure to write a blog for assignment #3 since the six blogs are set assignments that need to be done in order for you to get a pass on the course. However, please note that you won't get any comments on it.
Best,
Marika
