The Emmy Awards (aired recently)
are kind of a big deal. Not a big deal in that life-altering-kind-of-way, but a
big deal in the sense that a lot of celebrities dress up, that a lot of
companies pay more money in advertisements, and a lot of people stop watching
reruns.
The Emmys are not the only award
extravaganza of the season though. During the first week of October, without
the advertising, paparazzi, or celebrities, the Nobel Prizes are announced. But
how many people are listening? With the Emmys comes television's fall lineup,
but what does the common person get after the announcement of the Nobel Prize
in physics?
So, what are your thoughts? Choose
one or two or all of the following prompts:
Why do you watch TV? Why do you
not? What shows do you love or hate?
Does TV provide a good form of
entertainment? Is it just a convenient delivery system for advertisers to send
their messages to the masses? Is it an inane use of time? Can it be all three?
What does it say about our society
that the Emmy's have so much glitz and attention and the Nobel Prizes are
quietly announced in the news? Is this bad? Good? Appropriate?
