No TV for me!

Absolutely. Watching TV is like going into McDonald's. Gorge on the regular shit, and you're gonna end up unhealthy. Snack on the salad bar and you'll be just fine

 

I recently took the tv out of my room and replaced it with a sewing machine, which was replaced with a hamster cage


i still have my sewing machine, but its sitting on the floor instead

 

I read the internet, ride my bike, and pursue academia more than I watch t.v.

Granted, I still watch a good 30 min- 1 hour 30 min a day.

S'all

 

Not watch TV? What will you have to talk about with people you meet at parties or social functions? Some people watch the tube just for that reason . PBS has NOW with Bill Moyers, a good liberal news and interview show. CSPAN has some progressive journalists on occasionally. I spent a couple of years just watching TCM and nothing else because it was commercial free. Whatever faults it had, it didn't have that fault.

 

My tv watching has decreased dramatically..I dont really care for what the mainstream entertainment industry has to offer these days but that is just where I am at now. I do however like the science and National Geographic Channels. If I need to decompress at the end of the day I will watch something along those lines, an indie movie or just go on the internet..I also totally dig The Weather Channel..

 

I think you can tell the quality of someone's reasoning skills by the television shows they watch. If they're watching "Fear Factor" and "Yes, Dear", they're probably not the most intelligent people in the world. lol

You say "these days", though, as if there was ever anything good on T.V. It was always crap, really.

 

i like yes dear!

 

You would. The show should simply be called "Misandry". And every commericial while it's on should simply be misandristic. Really the show should just be called "my emasculated, castrated husband". I bet it would be really popular if I made a show called "Yes, sir", with a wife being berated with insults and demands and treated like a child. Hell, we could even have her husband fucking her in the ass while she scrubs the inside of the oven during the intro and the ending credits. I think we've got a hit on our hands!

 

um... well from what i've seen i've liked

 

That's what I mean. If I was a female, I'd probably love it. For obvious reasons.

 

I can't think of anything worth watching on TV, apart from any documentary that might draw your attention.
Gameshows treat their audience as if they've been abducted by aliens and had all their brain cells sucked out.
Soapoperas appear to be written by a computer choosing random themes and acted by actors that make you wonder where all the Amazon wood has disappeared.
Movies, well you can rent whatever movie you want to see in your own time.
Talkshows are the scum of the earth trying to be shocking for their 15 minutes of vanity.
Music has no substitute to actually being there to hear it live.
Sports has no atmosphere unless you're there either, but is mildly compensated if you're an ardent supporter.
So there's only one place for the good old TV: the ecological garbage disposal. May it rest in peace. Amen.

 

I bought a tv in 1988 for 50 bucks at a pawn shop. I only got 2 channels and one was fuzzy as hell. I didn't watch the thing for 6 years and can honestly say it was the most peaceful 6 years of my life. Without a tv, people find much more productive things to do. I watch it now and laugh....I mean what the hell is a cotton commercial doing on tv? To redirect our thoughts from a much more efficient and durable substance....hemp. What are all these medicine commercials for that you can only get from a doctor? Comedy shows aren't funny anymore. The news gives you all the shit going on in the world, and it chooses what shit to give you. Most cartoons have as much violence as regular tv shows. It's an evil tool used to silently manipulate the lazy mind.

 

Hmm its been 6 years of not watching T.v and im only 16.. you see i guess i found it borning i was yung and didnt care betting things to do. now i know i made a good conciouse act for my well being
