I'm very obsessed with 'The Real Housewives' franchise. It's a bad obsession.
I definitely watch reality shows where I'm not learning something better in the end.
I don't even own a TV because I think it's the devil.
Eat some pizza, play some Xbox, watch some TV. Gross? Maybe. Me? Yes.
Watching 'CSI: Miami' is like watching 'Teen Jeopardy!' or doing the crossword puzzle in 'People' magazine. It makes you feel smart even when you're not.
Amusement is a way of boredom-avoidance through external stimulation that fails to exercise our minds. It's mere diversion.
American mass media culture, with its celebrities, shopping hysteria, sound bites, formulaic plots, received ideas, and nauseating repetitions, depresses me.
I watch a lot of bad TV. I spend my entire day reading and writing, and after dinner my idea of fun is just to watch a lot of bad TV. That's how I relax and stay in touch with modern culture.
When I have had a long day at work, I want something to watch that is funny, lighthearted and easy to get into, and reality is that. I'm not really into serious programmes or documentaries.
Let's be real: It's just TV; it's just entertainment.
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
TV is a wasteland. It's a bunch of news actors that read off a prompter.
I've watched my fair share of 'Housewives.' And I just felt a little dirty afterwards.
I fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. It's very rare that I see the end of any show.
When most people come in from work, 95 percent of them reach for the remote control. Then they read before they go to sleep, to get off to sleep. They do that because reading feels like a duty, and TV feels like fun.
I despair of reality television, but I've never met anyone who watches it. Or people say, 'I watch it, but I hate it.' I've never met anyone who loves it. It's like, it's there, and we have to accept it.
If I'm really jet-lagged and need to get to sleep, I just try and watch cartoons. As long as it's animated, I don't care - it has to have that distance from real life.
TV is the best babysitter.
The guilty pleasure I miss most when I'm out slogging on the campaign trail is the chance to sprawl on the chaise and watch a vacuously spunky and generically sassy chick flick.
I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure.
I'm a big fan; I like all sorts of genres. I do like an occasion to just switch my brain off and enjoy some mindless carnage.
I do watch some kind of terrible shows on VH1, 'Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood,' 'Basketball Wives.' Those are like my guilty pleasures. When I want to see some drama, I'll watch those.
We have the media, which is such a waste in the sense that you can actually feel your IQ get lower as you watch TV.
I'm not a big TV guy, but I love either 'Auction Hunters' or those repo shows on truTV. It's really just glorified 'Jerry Springer' is all it is. Every now and then, it's just mindless entertainment. We'll be on the bus, and we'll laugh at it. Those are my guilty pleasures.
Reality TV rots people's brains.
