I've always loved watching TV - I choose the programs depending on content. Sci-fi is my favourite but there are so many interesting things also to choose from, health, nature, cooking, documentaries, interviews, music and comedies of course. When nothing appealing is on, I have books, internet, newspapers or occasionally visitors and conversation over coffee. The trick is to not let the TV control you (this can happen easily and for some maybe throwing away the TV is the only solution). When our TV died last year (after a lightning storm) we were a couple of weeks without one until the insurance arranged for another, but I didn't really miss it like I thought I would. We are watching some of the Olympics this week, and no amount of ads for hamburgers will convince me to eat them, just because they are on in between fast runners, fast swimmers, brilliant gymnasts and great teams. TV is like most things, neither very bad nor very good - just be discerning!
