Nope. We got rid of our TV almost 4 years ago...and our blood pressures have improved immensely.
What if our white ancestors were slaves, double indentured servants to serve 14 years for passage of the Atlantic on ships under crowded conditions.
All we usually watch is the news and Axe Men or Deadliest Catch.
This just happened to be on after we gave the kids a bath and put them to bed.
Good for you! We have two big flat screens in two rooms of our house, and that’s about two too many. Husband has a t.v. habit; insists on watching the news and weather before he goes to sleep. We live in tornado country, so I suppose keeping an eye on the weather forecast isn’t a bad thing, but we hear all the bad news of the world several times a day.
I keep the t.v. off most of the time; and wish I could get the rest of it under control. He’s sorta hard of hearing, so I can’t get away from it too easily. I keep earplugs handy, and that helps some. I’m convinced that one could go six months at a time not hearing all the clamor and clanging and still be better off.
I only know this because my wife still watches network garbage: The amount of gay couples portrayed on sitcoms is disgusting. I get it. It's part of real life but it's so obvious they make SURE there's a token gay couple in every show. Then, there is the standard dumb Republican insult that get's thrown into the script.
I just walk in on this stuff..and I see this much. You made the right choice.
