At many time in my life for one reason or another, ive gone without tv. It always surprizes me how i think it cant be done and after a week a forget the tv even exists. does anyone think that tv has actually gotten worse after the writers strike? its like they realized that people still watched when there was nothing new or even entertaining on and they just said fuck it...its cheaper to not make something new and stuck with it. as for me, i have cable right now only cause its only 15 dollars more with my high speed access which i cant live with out. besides i think it gives my girlfriend something to do!
