We watch almost no TV in our house. Jakob and I watch the Browns on Sundays, and its disgusting how I have to sit there with the remote in order to be ready to change the channel during nearly every commercial when they advertise for disgusting evil shows that are on later in the week during the (I assume) 9pm timeslot so Jakob doesn’t see them and have them impressed on his little brain. There are always a bunch of witchcraft, shooting, sexual innuendos, etc during the ads for other shows on CBS, it almost makes me not want to watch the game.
When Rebekah and I walk at night, it just amazes me to see TVs flickering in about 90% of the homes we pass. We are so busy being parents, reading, doing MBA work, keeping our home up, etc, I don’t know HOW all those people find so much time to WASTE!
Other than football, the only show that graces our television screen is 24. Yeah, I know its violent, but you gotta love Jack Bauer…
I watch The Office, Survivor China (only because it’s in China), and Sunday NFL games. When LOST comes back on, I’ll probably watch that too … but I have no interest in watching more TV. In fact, I often end up catching those first two shows online instead of on the tube.
Unfortunately, I’m probably going to have to not only get a TV, but also subscribe to cable or satellite in my new home. It’s one of the basic services that tenants will expect … at least I’ll be able to write it off on my taxes!
