I don't have one and the reason is that I don't like anything on it, apart from, say, wimbledon, which I watched on my laptop. I have a TV licence, but no TV. 2 1/2 years so far. I didn't have one before I married either, but while I was, I must have dribbled away years of my life. So is there anyone out there who doesn't have one, or would like not to have one? I understand Thomas the Tank Engine is a must see for kiddies and it all started there for me. I understand that for a lot of people, not being able to talk about what was on telly last night is socially exclusive, particularly for school age kids. This is meant to be light hearted, not a lecture, but with a touch of seriousness. Is TV a good thing? Or are we better off without it? Have your say here. If you love it, I won't argue, I'm not an evangelist. I do listen to the radio as I drive to work sometimes, so I'm not completely cut off. I hope I've presented the case for and against TV dispassionately and without bias.
I used to watch documentaries on TV but with the internet I can read about the subjects I like and cross reference them and get other opinions very easily. I am a ***** like that
Oh sorry I'm here because i thought this thread was about transvestites But i do watch television sometimes as well, lol
I do like Radio 4, tho' Either I'm getting old and barmy, or just more selective. There's some good stuff on R4.
TV is watched selectively in Casa Del Terrordales. Documentaries & F1 for me & Ms.T likes watching the tennis. Apart from that it's rarely on.
I watch comedy programes and quizes documentaries if they are about animals or not to deep and the odd sports that i follow , but not everyday. Ive lived without tv and without communication too.
funnily enough i sat in the garden tonight,and thought about the fact ive watched about 5 hrs a week during the summer weeks, this includes moto gp a bit of the tour de france a little murry at wimblebum and the apprentice .. we dont watch tv at dinner time, and ive been out in the garden playin with vegtables and woodwork on the evenings, just came in at ten as it got dark, ive got some time team specials,and a few docu things on the harddrive... and pay a few quid a month to virgin come the winter nites i will watch more ...
Don't have one - afraid I'd watch too much c**p on it if I did then again I am missing old bullseye re-runs.....
The idiots lantern is on from dawn to dusk in our house, eldest watches russian news! middle un pop rubbish and the young un watches some great cranky cartoons on the channels I cant find. I like a good film of which there isnt many and question time. I could happily get rid of it though.
