Good for you, John. I read your post...it is true you can get a lot accomplished when not mindlessly watching tv. I am not sure I am ready to give it up entirely, but at the moment I just DVR specific shows I want to watch and try not to turn it on just for something to do. I guess it's a start.
In the back of my mind I've always had the thought that I want to have my future kids grow up without tv...or at least with a very limited amount. I've worked with kids and seen how bored they get watching tv all the time. They actually beg to be taken outdoors...they say their parents won't do it.
