Since my term paper last quarter on the ill effects of excessive television consumption (Paper title was "Reclaiming our Living Rooms") I have not watched anything on TV other than listen to the morning news while getting ready for work. I haven't missed TV at all actually.. In lieu of the boob tube, I have begun going on walks which I find highly addictive, or I work on some digital portraits I never had the time to work on before. I just reduced my cable plan actually on Friday and now I just get the basic channels and it saves me $25 a month. I still see movies though at the theatre.. could never cut them out
A very interesting quote that I used in my paper was uttered by Kurt Vonnegut on the 1 Giant Leap CD:

quote:Do you agree with this quote above? In general, what are your feelings towards TV? Is it a friend or foe? Also, please answer the poll question on how much TV you watch on average daily..
TV is enough... is providing artificial friends and relatives to lonely people. What, what it is, is uh, recurrent families; the same friends and relatives come back, week after week, after week, after week. And they're wittier, and they're better looking, and they're much more interesting, and they're richer than your real friends and relatives.
