Don't buy one. Save the money, and save the wasted hours in front of it for more important things. TV free for 10 years here.

I agree about watching TV. However, I still own a widescreen LCD TV...because I use it as my computer monitor. I'm surfing FreeRepublic on a 46" screen, baby!

For you and all the other “TV IS A WASTE OF TIME. GET RID OF YOUR TV” people here...I ask why. (And this is not a personal attack, by the way - just a question/observation.)

Why not have a tv? Used properly, you can get a lot of information from it. It’s like the internet. You choose to view/read websites that are worth your time, and skip those that aren’t. TV is the same.

The other night, my son and I watched a show about how wild rats survive and how rats “learn”. He is still talking about it, and applying what he learned with our pet rats... we made a maze with landmarks, tested them on their memory, etc. He’s 4. We also watch Andy Griffith as a family once and a while, as well as “How It’s Made” which shows how common items we use every day )and some uncommon items) are produced.

I ask again: how is some TV not worthwhile?
