I will admit that I am guilty of aimlessly watching television for hours on end. After a long week of meetings and homework and even more homework I want to sit down and do something that for the most part is mindless and will take my mind off of the fact that I spent so many hours in the library. The Game Show Network is an excellent channel to flip to that will never disappoint you because there is always something new (or old and you have never watched it before) going on.

Flipping to the Game Show Network is a dangerous path to go down though because you never know when you will stop watching. No one is going to walk into the living room and complain about the Game Show Network playing on the TV, they’re just not. So, be prepared for many episodes of all sorts of family friendly game shows and the side effects that go along with watching these programs for so long.

You decide your family are the perfect contestants.

My family would dominate "Family Feud" hands down. Plus, my family is full of unique characters and would make for great TV. We are all obnoxious, but we are also incredibly smart and full of useless information. It’s really a shame that this hasn’t happened yet.

You start humming all of the opening music.

After hours of watching this channel, the opening musical number will get stuck in your head and you will incorporate them into your everyday life. These songs are practically essential to living now because they provide the perfect amount of suspense to the most mundane situations to make them interesting. Tired of waiting for someone to answer you, Jeopardy is your go-to musical track.

You have an overwhelming need to be competitive.

Just face it, after watching all of these competitive game shows you feel on edge and ready to take on any challenge. On top of humming the songs, you feel like you need to challenge anyone and everyone to the dumbest competitions. You make eye contact with someone and suddenly you have to get to the door before they do. You are pumped up and ready to go at all times even though there is no cash prize for doing the dishes the fastest. Life isn't a competition, but a small part of you is inclined to believe so.

You realize that the world is full of crazy, superstitious people.

People have the weirdest superstitions, especially when it comes to winning a prize or cash money. Specific numbers and trinkets and medallions matched with a crazed look in one's eye makes for strange personality tics and makes for even better TV.
