    The best hypnotist in the world is your TV! Got rid of ours 2 years ago. Sometimes I'll see a People's magazine and don't know 1/2 the people in them!

    There's no off-the-air reception here, and no cable. It's satellite or nothing, so we chose nothing. Who wants to pay good money to get 500 channels when there's still nothing good to watch?

    It's funny I notice difference in the responses here depending on where the poster is from. Seems like if you're in the US (standard) tv really is rubbish (I mean HBO has some quality entertainment), but people from Europe still seem to enjoy parts of what is broadcasted here. I myself find it kind of ridicilous to agitate so much against tv since it really depends on what you watching and if you have some discipline you don't watch the shitty stuff. But I can understand if all channels are so bad you dont watch it anyway it's pretty logical to get rid of it. I think we have some quality stuff on tv here in Holland and BBC can be quite good too. Of course it only stays good if you turn the telly off in time ;) :p

    You are definatly right most of the stuff on tv is really just violence or of no interest to me... and i am not a big fan of commercials im trying to break myself of the chains and having kids doesnt help... commercials definatly are pushing my kids into comercialism (i know im captain obvious on that point alone) just an outward posting of the things that are bothering me about it atm.

    well,, history channel plays stupid crap that isnt even history related anymore (dangerous catch anyone?)
    discovery channel is the same way (full metal jousting) not sure if those shows are on those channels, but pretty much all that's on tv anymore is crap like that.
    i would just watch cnn for a lil while till they started re-playing the same stories

    BUT,, i got kicked out, and i camp out in a tent.. so obviously no tv for me

    Reality shows are really big these days. If nothing else they show how messed up our society is today. Sitcoms that portray the parents as dumb and stupid and the kids as having the upper hand. How ridiculous and backwards is that? News.... pretty much all skewed. Get better truth off the internet of all places.
    What happen to sitting down and reading a really good book?

    You can do (and lots of people do) all those things if you're actually selective when watching tv.

    Since I went to college, I got far away from TV.Because of the latest news, wonderful animations and pleasant musics on the internet, I felt TV became more and more tedious,especially TV series. By the way, I love ONE PIECE very much!!!!

    I wish I had cable mostly for weather alerts and news. But I don't watch TV. I can't remember the last time I actually did. I watch netflix movies and some series too. My whole family got out of the habit of watching TV, and fox news is never dependable.
