I watch TV because it's entertaining. It's a convenient way to kill time and rest. It's sometimes an easy way to get away from what's going on around you. One can just simply sit down, press a button, and dive deep into a different world and life. You can laugh or cry along with the people in the big, flat box and have fun doing it. When you have nothing better to do, you can just watch TV. There are so many different genres of shows to choose from. Once you're bored of one, you can start another.
TV certainly is a convenient delivery system for advertisers to send their messages to the masses, but that doesn't necessarily always have to be a bad thing. I think that's just an irreplaceable method of efficient marketing.
When I have a lot of things I need to do, every minute I spend watching is an silly waste of time. But when I have those times when I am free (and bored out of my mind) it's fun and it gives you something to talk about to friends who watch the same shows as you.
I think that TV can be all three (entertainment, a delivery system, and an inane use of time). It's an easy way to quench the ever thirsty need for something to do in today's society. It's not exactly like reading a book, but it something.
