Yeah, I'm not so sure it's *evil* so much as *unhealthy.* As funny as
some t.v. shows are, I just think it's healthier to have *real* friends
as opposed to Must See TV Friends...
Ever since I gave up the boob tube, I haven't missed it at all. My wife and I read books and snuggle.
We eat dinner together and converse. When we want to watch something, we'll rent a film
( I just saw 'Citizen Kane" for the first time ever... so good!)
But usually we don't watch anything at all... and I do have so much m
ore time to have my real life rather than watching someone have a life
for me.
Ever since I quite watching t.v., I've not had that feeling of
embarrasment of watching someone make an idiot of themselves b/c they
weren't honest, or were trying, without cause, to "save someone's
feelings," or to impress someone.
