If you don't currently watch television email me. - After spending a few days thinking about this and watching yourself, please answer the following question in great detail and depth, citing examples: Why do you watch TV?

7 points total

- 3 points for explaining why you watch TV (or a substitution you and I have agreed upon) with depth and thoroughness.
- 1 point for a robust and thorough conclusion
- 1 point for a paper free of obvious errors--it seems clear from reading it that you wrote it, then edited it. This isn't about correct grammar. Its about glaring typos, etc. This is a point for taking care in what you submit. Putting effort in, respecting your own ability enough to go over what you turn in and make sure its the best it can be.
