I haven't watched network teevee,or even much cable beyond Turner Classic Movies and History International,for years,and I don't feel I've missed a thing. I feel free from the peer pressure to be aware of the vapidity of pop culture,actually. I have much more time to devote to things that actually interest me.
Im with you ..Why would you ever watch TV when you have the internet..I spend my time reading and learning ..TV is a waste. I haven't a clue who ANY of those "stars " are .
