If I...Alan, your 3rd and 4th paragraphs say it all. If I may, I'd like to quote them from time to time because they say what I think and say it better.<br /><br />I do watch tv, but mostly because my husband does and it's a way to spend time with a tired man who wants to veg after work. However, a lot of what we watch is syndicated older shows with good plots, great characters, and a lack of vulgarity.Ruth Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00382718447771554909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172600568883405670.post-39265720483599959292010-08-30T16:59:55.863-07:002010-08-30T16:59:55.863-07:00Can't imagine watching TV for 15 hours per day...Can't imagine watching TV for 15 hours per day.

I remember at my job once, someone mentioned 'South Park' and I had no idea what they were talking about. Now 20 years later, I have an HD-tv and am totally addicted. I have dozens of programs on my DVR and it's almost become a job keeping up. I've been unemployed for awhile so thought I would just do whatever I wanted. That led to me totally immersing myself in tv - almost 15 hours/day. It's weird how it creeps up on you like that just like any other addiction. I hope I can give it up cold turkey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
