Young adults who watch tons of TV, and spend more time on the couch than at the gym, may end up paying for it with diminished mental performance in middle-age, new research suggests.

Yes , my tin foil is on correctly! Thanks for asking!

See what happens when you watch all those old Gilligan’s Island episodes over and over again.
“Blow up your TV, eat a lot of peaches...”
We booted the tube from our house 7 years ago. Blood pressure is down, SERENITY NOW!
Gamer alert!
Translation:
Legacy TV networks prefer you watch THEM, and avoid sponsoring Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.
Yeah, the network-employed Doctor$ think your brain might otherwise explode.
People still watch TV?
Ain’t got no TV, but the best part of binging is moving on to the next one.,..

A study in the mid-1970s showed that the brain activity of someone watching TV was about equivalent to someone asleep.

Try to remember what just happened in a TV drama or comedy when the next commercial break occurs.
Hmm... booted the tv seven years ago, blood pressure down. Who came on the scene seven years ago that could raise someone’s blood pressure, I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I can’t even remember the last show on TV I watched regularly.
Although I must say, since Hulu got Seinfeld, I have been doing some binge watching.
Global watching causes binge watching.
I don’t have a tv either. But I have the same problem as you, only it’s youtube, and Hogan’s Heroes.
I binge watch and code at the same time.
Maybe that cancels out the negative effects?

I’m 76 and watched a lot of TV over the years and...
I’m 76 and watched a lot of TV over...
I’m 76 and watched...
I’m 76...
What about binge FReeping?
And the only Gilligan’s Island worth watching was about Harold Hecuba.
Mary Ann or Ginger...
I’m doomed!
No man can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
I think it is going to take a great deal of TV watching to exceed the brain damage from being in college in 1970. LOL.
Last night I watched the 13th and final episode of Jessica Jones on Netflix. I should need help bathing myself now after than amount of binge watching. har har har
BTW, I have some criticisms of the series, but over all, pretty good. David Tennant’s portrayal of a murderous psycho was quite good IMO.
I really like David Tennant. I’ll have to watch that. I recently binged Halt and Catch Fire, that was good.
