I used to think I watched too much television. It&#8217;s always on. It wasn&#8217;t until I started writing this column that I realized that the TV is just&#8230; on. Background noise. Usually a movie running if I can find one I like, if not then some old sitcom or episode of Whose Line. I can&#8217;t stand it when it&#8217;s quiet.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t watch CSi, or Desperate Housewives or ummm&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. Anyway the point is I don&#8217;t really watch enough television to be able to write columns about it. So instead I look for some different angle to write from. Right now I&#8217;m thinking maybe I&#8217;ll take a look at how the Internet has affected television. And that idea just popped in my head as I typed this. I could talk about how fans of television shows can have an outlet for their need to talk about a show they love &#8211; especially if they don&#8217;t know anyone in their lives who watch it. There&#8217;s a niche for nearly every show, new or old. It&#8217;s allowed interactivity. There have been internet campaigns to save shows. You have instant access to every aspect of a show allowing your obsessiveness to row and grow until you end up with your own fansite *cough*<\/p>\n<p>Hehehe I&#8217;ll think about it. Ok this helped.
