Couch potato 老看电视的人
. i: g* B# v' |; l; S) f m; Q6 V) n* Y# ?
Why should I go out to see a movie or a concert---it is a lot more comfortable to stay at home. I have cable TV, which gives me a choice of 30 different programs. Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR.9 m( }" Z- ~$ o
