Mrmn. The last time I was bored and watched TV, I learned how to make a dish which I subsequently made, which was fun to do, and which delighted those who ate it. The last time I watched TV I wasn't bored, I was hanging out socially with my roommate: we discussed what we were seeing, she taught me quite a few things about the subject, and we had a great time together. I get a little tired sometimes of the blanket condemnation of TV as all worthless. It's a medium, like any other, with quality examples and lots of crap, and subject to the same moral panics as any other.
