Daytime TV: Curse or Blessing?

I'm really not sure anymore whether Daytime TV is a gift from God or sent from the Devil himself. Being out of work has been an eye-opening experience for me, mostly because I can't believe how much television I've consumed. I would think that it was all a waste of time, but I've been learning so much!

In the end I think it all comes down to choice. Are you going to spend that rainy day on the couch watching Jerry Springer or Maury Povich? Or are you going to watch a home improvement show that teaches you how to caulk your tub? I've been spending a lot of time on the History Channel myself, but I recently found that ABC Family is re-running Gilmore Girls from the pilot episode. Sigh. They make me so happy. :)
