This past Saturday was a great example of how I found myself watching television for hours on end after promising myself, "I'll turn it off after one more." I had not planned upon starting an epic journey of my second British panel show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks. To date, I have probably watched approximately 15-20 episodes so that is at least 7.5 to 10 hours since Saturday. Saturday at 10am, I found myself completely resolved to have a productive day. As I watched the sun arc high into the sky and start to sink behind the blinds of my bedroom, I realized I had lost an entire day to ridiculous pop culture nonsense. I'm not quite sure why I find British panel quiz shows so entirely entertaining and informative.
Maybe it's because of moments like this...
Television has the ability to make me forget that I have responsibilities and commitments.
Maybe I just need Phill Jupitus stand in my apartment and yell "TURN IT OFF!" at random intervals.
