I can get most of those shows online. Full episodes and the funny night talk-show clips. I don't personally own a TV (my roommate has 3) and I don't need to. Dealing with commercials and not being able to pause so I can go get a beer. Why bother? Heck, if I wanted more..like the newest episode as it comes out before it's put online; I saw a USB thingie at CompUSA that you can plug your cable or antenna into to let you watch movies on yer puter. Only 70 bux, no other fees. You don't need a special video card anymore. It even acts like a TiVO, can schedule it to record whatever right to your HD. So yes, I have given up my TV. What do I need one for? PS: And yes, you can watch TV shows online..legally. Prime Time TV(mostly). Alot of the big network websites have full episodes of their most popular shows..with fewer commercial interruptions than the original broadcast. Ehh. I can get most of those shows online.

We often (especially in religious circles) view TV as being evil. But TV can be a great tool if used correctly. I love watching the Travel Channel. Very good article.

I’ve considered it, but have decided that we enjoy our TV too much to remove it from our home. I agree with Patricia of A Better You Blog when she says that television can make “a better you” and introduces us to a list of TV show gems she’s found in 10 Reasons NOT to Give Up TV. Some of them I currently watch, most of them I’ve at least heard of. I’m going to have to Tivo #5 - I know my oldest son will enjoy watching this with me. And I agree about The Upside Down Show in #8. My #9 would be Heroes and Ugly Betty (though nothing has ever replaced Friends for me, which made me laugh out loud like no other show does). And my #10 - instead of comedy shows like Patricia has listed - would be craft shows: That’s Clever, B. Original, Creative Juice, and even though I don’t knit, Knitty Gritty. See if you discover some new gems for your family in her post! [...] [...] I know quite a few people who have gotten rid of their televisions, or rarely watch, keeping their TVs covered up.
