anyone else not watch tv?

I really dislike most television. The only times I watch it are when I am getting 'ready' in the morning. I like to put on the Today Show, because it reminds me of when I was a little kid and my Mom would have it on. I also watch MSNBC for about one hour a day (usually just the 4:00 p.m. Dylan Rattigan Show). Other than that, I keep it off. I hate having it on in the background. Most people can't stand silence and need to have the tube on, but I am the exact opposite. I can't really relax with a TV on!

 

People that watch tv are like drug addicts.I think it is very addictive.The more you watch ,the more you want to watch it.It becomes part of your whole life.In fact I think with the new digital cable and flat sceen tvs people try to schedule their free time around their favorite tv shows.It is pretty sad.Most peoples whole life is wasted watching millions of hours of tv. They should spend more time enjoying their own life.I have a saying for that GET A LIFE!

 

TV is meant to confuse people,keep people IN THE DARK.....

If you want the truth,TV IS NOT THE THING TO WATCH!!

 

Hardly ever watch TV programming, because I don't want to be programmed. Probably watch less than 5 hours a month. Now this internet thing, however...I'm probably online for 60% of my waking hours. This is interactive, though...and I'm usually mining information.

 

If you have a strong mind you wont be affected by the crap in your face.. (That type of programming only affects robots)

 

i don't watch tv... some shows are good though, but yeah, it just doesn't seem trustworthy, don't like ads, nor the kind of things you see subtly trying to influence society culture, brainwash people...

flcl was a great show though, will never deny this eternal truth

 

I'm not sure if it makes me more intelligent, but over the years find myself watch less TV and spending more time on the internet. Think I need to get back into reading books.

 

I don't watch tv anymore.. only movies online!

 

I cut back on televison once I felt awakened to what is going on around me. I like to catch the news here and there, yet I read the paper more. Really, I haven't watched 1 hour of tv in months and haven't watched tv at all this past week. Books aren't censored the fuck out of, and don't have influential undertones everywhere. Also, we cannot let writers and artists and the whole craft of books and documentation die due to technology. TV just puts thoughts into my brain instead of giving me an idea that sparks many of my own thoughts.

 

No cable TV but I do watch Netflix. I try to minimize my time in front of the TV as much as possible.

 

TV in America must really suck..

 

I don't watch any "television". I do rent movies sometimes though and watch that on the TV.

 

I only watch TV when there is hockey on. The internet is where I spend most of my days, Chillin out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, An' all shootin some bitches inside like a fool.

I think TV is educational when you watch it with the right attitude.. it shows you how fucked up people are and how much they don't know/care.

 

theres hardly anything ever on tele anymore, the amount of channels we have and yet nothing really takes my fancy half the time lol..xox

 

No, it really doesn't suck. If it did I'd have it on all the time, using it.

I all watch a few shows.. Family Guy, South Park, Futurama come on they're dumb as shit but great when your high....

 

Over a long period of time I don't think it's too positive for anyone. And it's mostly one side of the coin, the world isn't necessarily the way it is portrayed on TV...Take the mainstream news for example, how often do you see positive stories about communities being built, homeless people no longer hungry, etc, etc?? I like watching TV sometimes to get an different perspective than what I get from real life, to see how the illusion has developed.

I agree though, people are screwed up and it is fascinating to watch at times. The only problem is that I have enough drama in my life to think twice about watching some other people's drama on a screen. I tend to want to get a feeling of accomplishment than disgust.

 

well i havnt watched tv in a really long time and not only do i not miss it or feel deprived in any way at all but i acctually feel enriched and I have found many other things to do like get outside and enjoy nature > im serious i went to the zoo today and I saw some really amazing stuff !
