The trio of Anders, Blake, and Adam can never be rivaled. These three guys are the main characters of the show Workaholics which is, by far, my favorite show on televison. But Workaholics is not for everyone. A show about the life of three young telemarketers who spend most of their time partying is not appropriate for families sitting in their living room looking to watch a family friendly show.
Even though I watch Workaholics and football a lot, T.V. shows don't appeal to me as much as they use to. I think this results from me not having a lot of free time usually due to homework, and, most times, when I watch television shows I feel like I could be better utilizing my time.
I'm astonished every time I read about a new contract in the NBA where a player receives upwards of 100 million dollars in a five year span. I wonder how they can possibly spend all that money. Here lies our problem in society. When people in the entertainment industry are able to make hundred fold what Nobel Prize winners make, that's when we know we have a dilemma. The Emmy Awards were advertised constantly on television while it's hard to find event what day the Nobel Prize awards are given out. We , as a society, need to do a lot better job of recognizing the people who make important advancements in areas that effect us more in our everyday lives. I'm not saying we should totally get rid of entertainer's salary because, for example, football players are putting their lives on the line every time they step on the field but scientists, physicians, and writers should be respected more.
