Take a closer look with a critical mindset. TV is a value-shaper and most do not judge it by any objective standard of right and wrong, but rather the judgement criteria is whether or not it gives us pleasure or makes us feel good about ourselves. But it did make you forget your problem for a time, time that could have been spent solving that problem. Maybe we should not be trusting the opinions expressed on TV but rather looking to the factual statements on reality found in the Scriptures. Right and wrong never change, only opinions about what is right and what is wrong change.
TV tries to remake our image utilizing whatever behavior value happens to be in at the moment.
