If you're a TV junkie like I am, television is your drug-of-choice, your boyfriend and your church (everything is fine! I'm fine!!!). A good TV show transports us to a bigger, better, shinier world where bills don't exist, laundry never needs to be done, and we don't have to face consequences for our actions, because we're simply observers. It's like a dream world that you get to experience wide awake while eating. But when you step back and actually think about what your favorite TV shows are about, in the simplest and most reductive terms, they may look a whole lot different.
