A Chore?

I know I know I just said I'd leave you alone but then something occured to me. Television was first made to show news, important events and things to entertain you right? Well I have to ask, do you think today, sometimes, this activity appears more as a chore than a lesuire? 

Take for example, if you had been watching a series, it would be annoying to miss a part so even if the only thing you want to do is have a nice mug of hot chocolate and curl up in your bed you have to sit in front of the television and watch your stupid show. This then becomes more of a chore than a lesuire and you don't enjoy what you're seeing. 

I just wondered if anyone else had noticed this new level of stupidity human beings have risin too, because being at home I seemed to have notcied this.
