Are you ever embarrased to admit you love watching television? Do you feel that society judges this pastime?

1 Answer

Answer :

Watching television isn’t something people are ashamed to admit. I think it would depend on the show, really. You should be embarrassed about watching “Daisy Of Love”. You should not be embarrassed about watching “Arrested Development”. And society will judge a pastime that is out of the norm for that particular society.
