I watched quite a bit of TV until very recently. Last spring (halfway through spring break) our TV package was changed (down with Spectrum) without warning to include drastically fewer channels. These channels included many shows I watched most days. This was probably at least in part a good thing for a time, as I wasted less time on it, but I soon found a replacement. Now, I often watch Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert on youtube. This still takes less time and I find I am more attentive to my work. Before I would often multi-task, doing homework while watching TV. This ended over the summer when my mother read The Teenage Brain. I blame you for this.
Now the only show my family watches is People of Earth on TBS every Monday. We also choose usually an older show to watch on DVD on Sunday nights, currently Foyle's War.
I can't say whether the attention given to the Emmy's compared to that given to the Nobel Prizes in our society is a good thing, but it's expected and an accurate depiction of our priorities.
