We have been without television for 8 years. No cable (which doesn't exist out here) and no satellite (which does exist) and no regular local reception (which is just an amusing concept).
But stand back when we visit folks who do have tv.
Stopping by mom's, for instance, means that we're hollering "dibs" on the remote before we get there.
Guy likes The History Channel and all things war related or anything educational.
The 11-yr old wants cartoons.
The 18-yr old wants music videos.
The 26-yr old just likes to watch moving pictures.
Me? I only want to watch...
I know Guy understands and I hope Mel will.
But since we can't always visit when the show is on, my 26-yr old has been good at providing me in-home viewing with the purchase of these:
He'll continue to be fed.

We don't have cable or reception either. We've been told that it's because we "want to shelter our kids". No, although I don't see what's so wrong with that anyway, it's because if we watched it enough to justify that money, we'd be watching WAY to much tv. Besides, why pay for cable when there's Netflix?
