One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours without stopping.While watching TV,most of these people look so frozen that they almost look like dead things.Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the same black box.Also because these people are addictive to TV,they don't take exercise and usually get very fat.So in many ways,they look like real potatoes.Well,because they look so still and fat,and because they watch TV on a couch,they are all called couch-potatoes.Next time you see someone watching TV too much,just say,"What a couch-potato!"
