tv shows
i know the "cool" thing would be to say that tv is a waste of time and i never watch it. but FUCK that! i love tv! oh, sure, 99.99% of it is crap, but the handful of shows that are worth watching -- shows like South Park, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report -- are more insightful and have more to say than most of the pointless movies that hollywood churns out.
