    I think it was some of the time because Dad was home to see the show. Or late afternoon early evening. I think they changed TV stations and moved the times around.

    I don't like TV. I don't watch it. I have a television which serves as an excellent dust collector.

    Maybe you can start charging extra for "security" like that school all the rich kids go to for having an "armed security guard"

    Havent watched much tv in 6+ years, and got rid of the only set I owned 4 years back. 99% of it is worthless to me.
    I have noticed its actually hard to watch more then 30 mins or so, as the frequencies that they give off give me a headache and my eyes start to get sore if I go any longer then that.
    Once I really stopped watching on a regular basis it just seems pointless for people to be watching a screen with flashing colors for hours on end.

    3 years without TV. I get all my current events online. And I am totally selective. I do watch a lot of movies and documentaries on DVD - but don't think of this as TV: I choose what I want to see and hear. :)

    I honestly used to watch so much television, I don't know if all the shows taught me more valuable life lessons or just how to fit in with every other person in the world. It's all the same stuff. I'm glad I don't watch much anymore...some of those shows..ugh.

    Only if you aren't selective and have no discipline.

    I find it really boring, and the shows are just stupid. I lost interest a long time ago and never bothered to upgrade to digital, so I haven't even had television in years.

    Well I could follow the funeral of Nelson Mandela. But I'm not receiving cable service. Must use the internet streaming. I wish to learn to read books in my age.

    I don't watch TV at all, it's so boring. All they ever play is the Kim Kardashians or 16 and pregnant, its neither educational or entertaining, I don't know why people waste their time watching that.
