I also watch only a tiny amount of TV, usually just House and whatever series I'm into (like Beast Machines: Transformers!). And that's not on an actual TV.
I read in What Happy People Know (no reference atm, sorry), talked about how television was introduced in about 34 cities at a time. And the first 34 cities recorded a marked increase in petty theft, leading to the inference that people wanted more material things and felt entitled to more. Same thing happened with the next 34. I'd like to check out the study, if I could find one, but its written by someone more or less reputable (Dan Baker, PhD).
