you think like me... almost exactly... i don't really watch much tv... if i'm watching tv, it's either cuz i'm trying to go to bed and i need something to help me fall into that "bored go to sleep" state, stand up comedy (which i love, cuz of how much it talks about real life, and points out all the flaws in life) or some show that has nothing to do with real life (supernatural for example) or even rosanne, that shows how life REALLY is, as opposed to being some bullshit happy family that nothing ever reeally goes wrong (if you're watching tv, and one of the main problems that's some huge episode is based on some 16 year old having sex then, you're watchign somethign that is far from reality) i also, for the most part hate commercials (the fueds between major compaines whether it be insurance, or cable-satalite tv or whatever) i actually in a way despise tv all together... sure it was a great idea in the begining.. but now it's just become a brain-washing instrument... that tells people what's attractive, whats in trend, what to think of others (i seriously don't understand how anyone on here can watch tv, see those "TRUTH" commercials and not want to vomit before never watchign tv again) and how to judge people...

i forgot to add, the only show i watch religiously is the news... if i have the option i will watch morning, evening and nightly news...
