I hate the TV and sometimes swear to smash it on the concrete if people in my house don't get out of their hypnotic state and turn it off.
They are not even watching anything good or informative. They sit at stare at reruns of Full House or even infomercials.
There are, however, a FEW shows I like to watch. From the sound of the folks on this forum, I might have to check out 24 to see if it's 'count.
There are only three shows I like to watch: Battlestar Galactica, 24, and My Name is Earl (funniest show on tv).
I am addicted to 24. Oh yeah, and Jack Bauer! Come on. Try it. Just one time. One time can't hurt ya! ;o) You can always quit watching the following week!
By the way, you must watch in Flank 2 position. I repeat, Flank 2 position!
Be careful; once you start watching, guaranteed you will be hooked.
I'm the same as you with the TV. We pay almost $50/month for DirecTV, and despite all of the channels, there is nothing but crap to watch. I will occasionally watch the Military Channel or one of the Discovery channels, but the amount of commercial interruptions gets too annoying, and I soon turn it off.
When you watch 24, the time FLYS. Try it out this Monday, I think you'll like it.
So I sets me VCR on Saturday to catch the 2 hour premier on Sunday, 24 hours before 24 came on. Then, being a diligent vid, I set my VCR to record Monday's 24 season opener which was 24 hours after the first 2 hour premier of 24.
Then Sunday the NFL playoff went over and I lost the last 15 mins of 24. So I waited 24 hours for the Monday 24 to record because they give a synops of the previous 24, which aired 24 hours earlier.
Then I got a 24 can case of brewski's of my favorite vintage and watched 3 hours and 45 mins of the 4 hours of 24, but it only took 3 hour and 10 mins or so because i have commercial advance.
But luckily I had 12 extra cans of beer that complimented the original 24.
So in 108 hours from now another 24 will air but only 1 hour of the 24 season.
woowoo....
