have a tough time writers strike freaking me out companionship engage in
没有电视看的人伤不起啊 “不管你信不信，乔治都不在家，请听到哔哔声之后留言。”那么当你联系不上乔治的时候会发生什么呢？一些电视迷会觉得烦的。“滚出去。”是滴，这是真的，在《大众传播与社会》期刊上发表的研究如是说。 2008年春天，编剧罢工。这意味着没有新的电视节目。于是，研究人员对400多名大学生进行了调查。“你别吓我啊。”研究人员调查了大家看多少电视以及看电视的原因。原因包括消磨时间，放松或者逃避工作。但那些因为缺少陪伴才看电视打发时间的人会因节目的减少而感到痛苦。“嗯，祝我们好运吧。” 此研究也许会使人们失望，他们觉得节目的减少会促进人们更多投入到所谓的真正的活动中去，比如社交。“看，我们要去第三大道。”因为大部分人哪儿也没去。他们只是打开电视看重播或者上网。只有18%的人表示他们有了更多陪陪朋友和家人的时间。“谢谢你，先生。”你真是太客气了。
