No T.V. for almost 11 months

For almost 11 months I have not watched t.v. I did turn it on 3 months ago for maybe a weeks time, but got bored. I have received most my news from the web, radio or newspaper the question is, did I miss anything of any importance?

 

Yes you missed out on all those great commercials and also the world came to an end without you.

 

The world ended, damn I thought it was all to end in 2012, damn internet, let this be a lesson to all t.v. is human beings only information source.

 

Yes, Dr Who. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/ http://www.scifi.com/doctorwho/

 

i here the new who is quite good

 

Yeah Big Brother installed a camera in your house and the whole world has been watching your every move for the last 11 months.

 

"quite good" ? - he is the best. This whole series has been the best.

 

I haven't had a TV for 16 months...course there is 1 out in the TV room but everytime I walk thru there, the guys in the building are watching news or sports...so I don't bother with that TV

 

Oh, so you're that guy:

I stopped watching TV for like a year, because it really felt like it was draining my mind.
But now I enjoy watching it more than ever in moderation, for like an hour or 2 before I go to sleep every other day.

 

Hmm... I have been mostly in the same situation as you...

 

I've been without television for about 5 months...not nearly as long as the other folks in this thread. It wasn't a choice. I was getting the free cable because it wasn't turned off when I moved in. They finally figured it out and yanked it though.

Now, the rare occasion that I get to watch...it's like looking into a window at some fucked up culture. I don't know how to explain it really.

I don't miss it much, that's for sure. I can catch Squidbillies episodes online so I'm set, lol.

 

yeah, well i haven't had a tv in 7 million years! i'm cooler than all of you!

 

TV is soooo horrible. Full of all that crap and advertisement BS. I'm soooooo glad the internet strays away from that!!!

 

been at least 5 years since we have had a TV.. havent watched TV in probably 2 years..

 

Oh yeah? I don't even know what a TV is...I'm the best!

 

I haven't watched tv for between 5-7 years.

there's only a couple things I really miss
PBS
discovery channels
history channels
food network

 

I do miss the discovery channel also and classic cartoons, but since looney tunes was pulled from most stations, the new ones were never the same.

 

no kidding, I love looney tunes...

 

I dont believe in limits. I do what I want
