and say that it makes you stupid or that it is a waste of time, always be watchin' dumbass movies like Scary Movie pt.12 or American Pie 4: Stifler's Mom's Revenge, but talk sh*t when I watch some thing that requires a little bit of intelligence or attention to detail like The Wire or Arrested Development?

The question is why do people claim that all tV is a waste of time and unintelligent, when a.) there are good, intelligent, thought provoking shows on, and b.) watch mind numbing crap like Scary Movie or Date Movie?

EXCELLENT QUESTION!
I wonder that too myself! I think people who don't watch TV aren't all that impressive. Yeah, they say it's a waste of time. But, like you said, there are some thought provoking shows that enlighten you or make you think about things from a different perspective. TV is our link to the outside world. A way to see what everyone else is doing. So, I agree with you. Those who don't watch TV don't always have the "most intelligent" comments to make or don't have very open minds.
Those who DON'T watch TV are WASTING THEIR TIME!!!!

because those are the people that don't own a tv or they just don't have time to watch tv. also, they are the stupid ones because they have to overthink some things and say tv shows don't have a beginning middle and end but movies do. but i totally agree with you, there are more better tv shows out there than movies.

It's like junk food for the mind. You know it's bad for you but you like it anyway. You just have to be careful that you don't have too much or something similar will happen to your mind that happens to a body that consumes too much junk food.
