As someone who doesn't watch a lot of TV, very few shows on DVR (which I could go without) and a major sporting events. This serves as a powerful reminder of how easy it is to let material things take a hold of us. Thank you for sharing. That is powerful!

We lost signal when everything went digital last summer, so we got rid of our TV's. Been TV free for about a year now. More time with our children and they're not zoning out staring at the tube.<br><br>More time with family and one less bill. Also, our kids aren't zoning out, amazing how much our daughter loves to read. Just as important, you don't get the mood swings from watching all of the bloody political pundits and political ads.

My other half is a self proclaimed TV addict who gets narky if I'm in another part of the house crafting instead of sitting beside him silently watching a load of crap on the box. This does my head in! However if I bring my craft stuff into the living room he's content to live with the unholy mess I create, so long as I'm visible. Explain that... Couldn't agree more!

TV is such a sneaky little thief. <br><br>I've been trying to get my family to watch as little as possible. There are a few shows I really enjoy but for the most part we were just watching TV for its own sake. Even if there was nothing on it lulled us in. I love this post.

We all agreed that was the best 2 wks we had, because we were "family" for that short time & the TV didn't "steal" our attention. I often wish we had never had TV repaired!

Good point, don't disagree a bit. If you ditch TV in order to spend more time online you haven't really changed anything. @Hotlittlevaio: Haha! Good point, don't disagree a bit.

While all the hipsters were echoing each other about TV in a very 1999 sort of way, I kept quiet but hey, I was equally poisonous. From several years of wasted time out, how do all those hours and days spent staring slack-jawed at "productivity" and "zen" sites look now bub? Bwahahahaha.<br><br>Love,<br><br>Your laptop Hi!
