    Here here. Discovery Channel, History Channel, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Madow, Jon Stewart, Public Broadcasting, American Experience, Mythbusters, classic movies, etc., etc., etc., all to the tune of my knitting needles clicking away. And I still manage to read quite a bit. Jared Diamond and The Third Chimpanzee is on the bedside table right now.

    I am an unabashed TV-aholic. If I had to choose just one, though, internet access would win out over the TV. But I do love my TV...

    BTW check out hulu.com to catch some of those TV shows that you may be missing now.

    I have to admit I like TV. My fav shows, CSI, The Closer, Bones, Saving Grace, In Plain Sight, Dexter, National Geographic(NatGeo), Court TV, football, women's basketball. There is alot of garbage on TV and understand being anti-TV.

    I mostly watch the news, local and national, along with the Today show on TV.
    The only show I "need" to watch is NCIS, and there are a couple of others I like. I don't watch any of the hundred cable stations we have. We dropped HBO and all that after the free trial started, along with the DVR. We get 2 Netflix movies a month and at this time of year, sometimes it's weeks before we watch the one sitting on the counter.
    I couldn't imagine watching anything, sitting here looking at my little lap top screen. Of course, I don't like reading the news on line, either and I still prefer and look forward to reading the newspaper each day. According to the news, I guess I am one of the few who still reads the Boston Globe.
    I am pretty sure I could live without TV, but I don't want to.

    I miss random old movies on TV. You'd never know what would show up (unless you were a devout TV Guide reader) Like Tarzan or ma & Pa Kettle or a Charlie Chan movie.
    Even TV Guide is a relic now. Once upon a time it was indispensable.

    I love the Ma & Pa Kettle movies, Abbott & Castillo, and all the Elvis movies.
