Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 We quit TV last summer. We decided that we were just watching too much of it and the TV was on all the time. Plus we were on our computers so now we just have the computers and we still watch a few of our favorite programs online but we dont watch nearly as much tv programming as we used to. It can all be addicting and time wasting, even reading books can be time wasting if there are other things that need to be done that are being neglected. We still have our tv and watch videos here and there also, but it is rare and usually a religious program. Its all about personal choice.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Life is stressful, economy is bad, traffic is terrible. I like to watch a little TV and unwind each evening. Nothing wrong with a laugh watching Seinfeld or home animal videos, sports scores, and I don't like being shut out from the world so I watch weather and news too. Hooray for TV. The computer can easily eat up more time and the spam box is full of porn links and you don't dare use chat rooms anymore. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I agree with #1 Ladies Detective Agency. However I watch hours and hours of TV every week. Heroes now. Medium at 10. Then probably The Big Bang Theory and The Daily Show that I recorded earlier. Maybe Global Spirit tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Soaps can be addictive. I watched B & B through college, and when I lived with my mom during law school, she watched Y & R on Soap Net every night, so I got to know those people pretty well. I can still recognize the voices of all of the long-time Days of Our Lives actors, my mom watched that the whole time I was growing up. Bo and Hope and all the rest! I think it's hilarious how many men watch the nighttime soaps and deny that they're soaps. My dad claims it's his wife who watches Desperate Housewives, but somehow he can always manage to give me a very detailed re-cap... Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If you find a solution to a TV junkie let me know. My DH has installed mutliple satellite dishes and we have cable just so he doesn't miss a single hockey game (or other sport for that matter). I guess he is more of a hockey junkie. As the mother of two (soon to be three) boys I am already spending my fair share of time at the rink. I don't particularly like TV and typically only watch cooking and renovation shows (only on cable because I can't work the satellites!!).

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 love Big Bang Theory! And My Name Is Earl LOL. The boxes themselves are not the problem - it's what you watch & how much time you spend doing it. Computer can also take over if you let it. DH is currently addicted (I do not use that word lightly) to some game called 2nd Life. He neglects everything around the house in order to play. It should pass soon - his enthusiasms usually do.
