I watch very little-once every few weeks, or a few minutes of the news here and there. It really is of very poor quality. I maybe am on RHP a bit much...

I really think that moderation is the key. A TV can be of value in gaining iformation about current events. I believe the problem exists when we rely upon it too much as a souce of entertainment which develops into wasting escessive amounts of time. I mean hey, if there's nothing good on then turn it off and find something constructive to do. πŸ™‚

And please, (I'm not directing this at anyone here-just general), if you do watch heavily, realize that those of us who don't watch it do so for a reason and don't tell us about it! I get that a lot...

1/2 the movie I could watch again over and over, the other half was so disgusting I couldn't turn away. For the record, anything having to do with a "gooch" makes for a good arguement not to watch TV anymore.

p.s. I did not particularly like Death of a Salesman. Maybe I'm too stuck on Shakespear. I do like some of the more whimsical plays, like Bye Bye Birdie. Much better reading than much of twhat's on TV.

I would never admit this to my friends, but I really like Romeo and Juliet. It's not that I like love and tragedy so much, but the artistic puns in there never cease to amuse me. As you might guess, I really dig the character Mercutio. The best of old school word play in my book.πŸ˜‰

T.V. ? whats a T.V. ? πŸ˜›

That reminds me of the simpsons episode where Homer breaks the toaster and Marge has him fix it...the next scene is Homer putting the outer casing back on the toaster and we get a brief glimpse of what Homer did to the toaster - A Quantum Accelerater looped around an inverse black hole on the event horizon of a .. Well, you get the picuteπŸ™„

Anyway, home goes back in time altering history over and over. along the way he comes across his own heaven on earth, everything is perfect. Until he asks Marge for a Donut.
