I would not pay $20 for a TV.
What do you want to see? Baba WaWa? Perky Korupt?
Dan Blather? Fancy Polozzzi? Stupid sitcoms?
Alphabet garbage? Oh, I know, you lust for Rozy O DooDoo

There is nothing on TV worth two cents, much less $2000.

Not sure why you felt the need to insult me or hijack the thread, but have a nice day anyway.

I kind of like that show on crab fishing, it’s cool.

I agree there is little on TV but I do watch a lot of football, DVDs of select movies and DVD sets of the occasional TV show that is good (like "24" or "The Shield"). So I only have one TV and I made sure it was a good one. It was a 60" HDTV Sony Wega. Spend nearly $5,000 (including oak cabinet to put it on) but it's been worth it. Stunning picture quality.

That was two years ago and they have since dropped dramatically in price. Now you can get a 60 inch set for under $3,000.

I would definitely spend the extra money because the additional screen space makes all the difference.

Really? We watch all kinds of history and science shows - with Hi def you get really current information and incredible pictures. There are all kinds of documentaries and biographies and sports... With DirecTV a dozen science and history channels and we get 30 sports channels and about that many movie channels.

Networks, yeah lots of crap there but we do watch House and Two and Half men with Charlie Sheen. And my wife likes Law and Order

Tivo/PVRs also change everything. For $5 a month you can record two programs all the time and ever how much TV you want to watch whether its 2 hours a week or 10 hours a dayyou can watch the nest stuff whenever you want.

Also new technology makes it easy to monitor multiple channels when some live news event is happening.
