I don't watch TV that much, because there's too much bullshit. There's nothing interesting, unless you're watching Discovery, Zone reality or Animal Planet :) Television is not even a way of getting informed...because of the way the information is presented. Media is all about the money and that's why there's nothing valuable about it! Best regards and keep writing this way! Hello! I don’t watch TV that much, because there’s too much bullshit.

I think we're all internet addicts...I keep hearing that one sentiment more than anything else. And, it's probably true. Thanks for the comment!

Like Star Wars toy commercials, shows like Transformers and G.I. Joe, and even watching Sesame Street, etc. But I think it's probably best for kids NOT to have TV or at least limited TV. And don't even get me started on advertising targeted to kids like for junk cereals and etc. I wish that was illegal.

I have cable now, but seldom watch it, there are just a couple of shows that I enjoy, but like several others mentioned, I´m a complete and utter internet addict. I went 5 years without it as well when I moved here to Guatemala, but now that I finally have it again, I could spend 24 hours a day online! However, most of the time I am working, so I guess that counts for something! My parents didn´t get a television set until I was 18, so I spent a lot of time doing things.
