Kels love CSI too. Great episode. Of course I didn't turn on the TV until 9 thinking it would be on at it's regular time. Nope, it started at 8. Doh! Me thinks miss Kelly will be returning in a few years.

There was a time when my family was practicing Orthodox Judaism and we had an electricity-free Sabbath (Fri night through Sat night). No TV, no music even. We played board games, card games, read books, took naps. It's one of those things where when you're involved in a community that does it, it isn't that hard, and you get to enjoy it. Saturdays were always so quiet.

I'd rather do whatever the hell I want though.

In any case, I don't watch much TV, and when I do it's on my own terms. As a kid I was a TV junkie. Of course now I'm an internet junkie instead...

Hear Hear! - I grew up in front of a TV set and now I rarely turn ours on. This is my third day in Philly, and I haven't once turned on the TV in the room. On the other hand here I am posting and I haven't even had breakfest yet.

Exactly! In our day and age, (and among a group such as ourselves) a better question would be, can you live without the net?

True that. But I know a lot of people in my generation who were latch-key kids baby sat by Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street and the Electric Company. I know I was. I was also baby sat by Martha Quinn when MTV first started.

My TV watching went WAY down after getting Tivo. Since I can now record whatever I want whenever it airs, I find there's just not really that much that I WANT to watch. I may watch an hour or so a day, a little more on the weekends.

we have the most basic of basic cable packages now, and a $2500 TV... something dosent add up here....

but honestly, we dont watch TV, really at all, we watch our netflix, and thats about it. The TV was more of a practical "fit in our space" purchase....

mhrc4,
What movie is that playing on the screen? Nutty Professor 2? A Time to Kill? Color Purple? I don't think it's CP...

Ooh, that could be it.

I was also hoping the picture could have been a streaming video instead. You know, me without a TV and all...
