I think part of the reason for such high television numbers is we are so mentally and/or physically exhausted after work (and taking care of children, and chores around the house, and whatnot), that we don't feel like doing much but sitting down and relaxing during this time. Also TV is one of the few things you can do while also doing other things, like I had it on while I was cooking and doing the dishes and eating dinner yesterday, after I finished working at 6:30pm, and was finally done with everything at 9:30pm, just in time to do 20 minutes of saving interesting articles about the pandemic, and then passing out. I'm doing the pandemic article collection, in case people are curious, for multiple reasons. So I can look back and reflect on how it developed later (or show future children), and maybe use it as inspiration for future game designs or short stories I might develop in the future, since I'll likely forget most of the more unusual stories or side effects of the pandemic eventually.
