Television Is About Control

Television is all about control.  When we watch it, we allow it to control us.  There is an unspoken agreement between the television watcher and the programmer in which the watcher trusts the programmer and simply soaks up what is being transmitted.  This has been preconditioned into us by decades of tele-watching.
