I really think tv is addictive. And I often think that "idiot box" is an appropriate apellation. If I had children, I would get rid of mine. For my part, I wouldn't even have cable if I wasn't getting it free as a fortunate side-effect of my internet connection. Since I do, however, I watch a fair amount of tv. In my case, tho, it is more because my entertainment budget lately has been somewhere between zero and none at all. I don't think there's anything odd about not watching tv. Matter of fact, recently I have been trying to reduce my tv watching and listen to more music, but I admit, there are shows which I consider to be must-see.

Mind you, I hope no one reads this and thinks I am putting them down for watching it, it's very easy to get the habit, not so easy to break it.
