Ehrenreich asserts that viewers rarely see characters on television watching television, on account that such a sequence would be boring, and TV only features interesting and exciting content. Her assertion is meant to show viewers they would be unwilling to watch what they do on television, so, logically-speaking, their lives are boring. I know this claim to be true because in my countless hours of watching television, I’ve never encountered characters watching TV for any extended amount of time.

I sat down beside him and told him to remember that I was nineteen years old. I started to take off my sock and he knew what I was going to show him before it was off my foot. He didn’t want to look at it at first but he wasn’t yelling so I took that as a good sign.
