[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5649264, member: 54707"] I don't much care for TV, generally speaking. I watch educational shows and a few others by recording them on my DVR and then watch them on the weekends if I'm not doing something more important. I also watch the news, but have to for work and business. Right now I'm recording Daniel Boone (me and my kids watch that on Saturdays) and Battlestar Galactica (the new one), which I like better than the first time it aired. The great thing about modern tech is that you can record whatever you like and watch it when you have nothing better to do. That allows me to filter out whatever I think is useless. When I was a kid both of my brothers and my parents had TVs in their bedrooms in addition to the family TV in the den. 4 TVs for a family of five. I never understood that. We lived out in the country on a big estate (I eventually bought it from my father) and I spent most all of my time outside, playing with friends, riding bikes or motorcycle, swimming in the pool, tracking animals, reading, drawing, or exploring in the woods. They spent all of their time laying on the couch or bed watching TV. (To this day none of them exercise, and I mean not at all, and most are overweight and in bad health. TV didn't make em that way, but constant TV did.) I guess this gave me a certain view of TV. That it is, generally speaking, I consider it a big waste of time and the least important thing I could be doing. Individually or with my family (and we have only one TV and that's all I'll allow in the house). That said I will also say this, I think recent TV (Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Eureka) is better overall than at any other time I've seen it. And because of technological advances I can now easily sift through the crap (and there is a lot of it) to get to exactly what I want without wasting time with stuff of no value to me. [/QUOTE]
