I like sci-fi because it is more cerebral, and tends to have little violence even when there is conflict. Or, at least it is not usually gory violence, although of course that is not always true.
I don’t like fantasy shows like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter for some reason, and I am not sure why. I would think most sci-fi people do like this genre.
I watch car shows mainly because it connects me with my husband. Well, also I can’t avoid them in my house. I swear Top Gear is on every minute of the day. LOL. That show is very funny though. And, there used to be a show on cable that discussed the auto industry my husband and I found very interesting. It was business and economics oriented, so we both liked it, it was a Sunday tradition, and inspired conversation afterwards.
Sit-coms are a long tradition in my family, and I am thrilled my husband loves them too. I don’t know if I could be married to someone who looked down on TV. I find some of the sit-coms to be thoroughly entertaining, and it is happy, no-brainer time, in my household shared with my husband. It was the same when I was a little girl. We all got together to watch Soap or MASH. It was quality time. We had other quality time too; discussion around the dining room table, traveling, and more, but TV time was quality time also.
I love that TV now has so many informative shows. I love learning about science, history, new discoveries. I am not much of a book reader, I get a lot of my information from the TV, and then later read up on the topic if I am interested.
Oh, there is a degree in Media Studies.
