A TV that shows stuff is a TV that shows stuff. Especially in this modern world. Heck you can watch almost all the TV shows ever made without even having a TV now, we know he’s on the internet so he can get to the stream. Right now what I’m watching on TV is from the stream. If the thunder storms had hit harder I’d be watching DVDs but the internet connection stayed up.

You know you can have conversations AND watch TV. It’s not an either or world. It funny how the folks that feel the need to come on TV threads to stroke their own ego just can’t seem to manage simple concepts like keeping the TV at a volume it can be talked over. I talk the spouse with the TV on, I read with the TV on, I FReep with the TV. And I do all that stuff without it on too, because life is about options.

He’s the one that said to “kill your TV”, that IS smashing the evil machines. Had he said “watch less TV” or “be more selective in TV” that would be different. but he said to kill it. Not my fault he didn’t mean what he said.

Actually with the modern age of TV dramas you analyze, then often you hit the internet and discuss, sometimes you even get to discuss with the makers of the show.

I’ve gone years without cable, see that’s the problem with coming onto threads just to stroke your ego, you tend to make assumption, and we all know about ass-u-me now don’t we. Currently I keep the cable, it’s convenient for much of what I want from my TV. I could setup a media center PC and do things a bit of a harder not always as legal way, but I’m willing to pay for convenience, I make enough. My life is groovy as is, awesome wife of 20 years, comfy home, solid health, many many entertainment options, and the job’s not to terribly time consuming so I get lots of time for that entertainment. Because you see I understand how to use TV, it’s not too tough if you’re willing to understand that it’s part of the options of life. Maybe if you spent more time watching TV you wouldn’t come onto threads to stroke your ego, stroking in public is kind of gross.

I’m not surprised you consider modern TV to be at its zenith. You have a mind to match it.
