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?

Prompt one: I watch TV for entertainment and if I get attached to characters I believe I relate to. Sometimes I don't watch TV because either the plot doesn't interest me or if it is too difficult to follow. I love fictional TV shows that often times show what we don't have in the real world. Such as The Walking Dead, or LOST. It keeps people interested and wanting to watch more. I dislike shows like reality TV shows since it often shows things that everyone already deals with and in turn it makes the viewer anxious watching the show.
