But Do I Want to Live Without TV?

During the move from Texas to Ohio, we've not had a TV in Ohio. The longest I've been without TV is about 3 weeks, during the rerun season. So, I "can" live without TV. But do I "want" to?

Some friends have been discussing, lately, the ugliness that is on television... the lying, cheating, back-stabbing characters of low morale. Granted. But sometimes, I need an escape. And I do love to read, and often escape into a good book. But, again, sometimes, a TV escape is in order, in my humble opinion.

I like being able to DVR my shows and watch them at my own convenience, and skip right thru the tedious, obnoxious commercials. I can watch 90 minutes' worth of Dancing With the Stars in less than 30 minutes if I fast forward thru all the extraneous hoopla and blah-blah. I watch it for the dancing, not the talking!

And I love me some history channel. LOL. After all, I am a self-professed history nerd. And, wait!! Let's not forget travel channel!!! Oh, the joys of traveling from my sofa....

Yep, I'm thinking I "can" live without TV, but I don't want to!! Off to order my new TV....
