TV rots your brain. Quit supporting liars and liberals.
I have a lovely flat screen TV 42” HD. The only time I use it is when a classic movie (or documentary)arrives from Netflix.
And the article doesn’t even mention the homo-ization of TV with it’s myriad story lines of Homosexuals are so funny and well-adjusted and loving and caring compared to heterosexual familes.
Bwaahhhaaaaahhhhaaaaa! I find that highly amusing coming from Bill O'Reilly.....
Hundreds of channels, and nothing to watch. Once every ten years or so, NBC returns to its golden age with a live broadcast of a major production, such as “Fail Safe,” and just recently, “Sound of Music.” Other than that, programing looks like something run by 15-year old boys.
Fox Movie Classics, American Movie Classics, Turner Classic Movies.
Amen to just about everything the guy says...the lack of morals as well as the filthy language is one reason why we don’t watch it, in addition to the mindless themes. The news, even local, is nauseating as well. Thankful for PBS? It’s full of liberal propaganda and the Sunday evening entertainment, like the British mystery productions, etc., are being replaced by immoral, mindless junk. Maybe it’s our local PBS station’s choice of subject matter, but it definitely has been around and on the increase for over a year here.
We’ve also been reading more good books and talking to each other more...actually living...
I thank the dear Lord that I have never been a TV addict. Of course, I was fortunate enough to get hooked on books at a young age.
I’ve been trying to decide whether to get rid of my cable in lieu of the outrageous bundle bill vs. pathetic programing. Can’t even watch the Weather Channel anymore, too much lefty indoctrination.
The History Channel? I don’t care about how something is made, I just want it to work. I want history!
I’d rather darn socks than watch reality shows or Dancing With the Stars or America’s Got Talent. Really?
Then there is the plethora of infomercials. I can’t stand the shopping channels. I don’t watch sports. In addition to 20 or so Hispanic channels (I’m not Spanish) there are unending gab fests like The View and assorted chefs who apparently will eat anything. I don’t care about how the pawn guy scored a deal or whether the Ice Road Trucker was rescued when his Semi went in the ditch. Why am I paying for this!
TV is the answer to the question “what do women want”, and it isn’t pretty.
I had DirectTV for 15 years. Gave up TV for a 40 day fast on February 17. I found I didn’t miss it at all.
So, I cancelled it and now have no TV service. I haven’t watched TV in my home since 2/17/13.
On Thanksgiving, I visited my parents and watched some football on their TV. I was struck by how inane and depraved the tube has become, I noticed it before, but going without it for some long made it clearer.
I have a super home theater set up, but only watch DVDs or something off Netflix or Amazon prime streaming.
I like Christmas shows and enjoy watching them with my daughter, so I bought two yesterday—for less than $20. My DirecTV bill was $96 monthly, with no premium or movie channels.
I don’t miss TV a bit.
We got rid of TV a few years ago. Unaffordable. I paid for Netflix for a while, but better shows are on Hulu+, but I abhor commercials if I’m paying. So now I watch a few shows on Hulu free, and watch Longmire on AETV (A&E website, watch for free just after air date). We have AT&T Uverse internet, and are bombarded with offers from them and satellite/cable, but it is ridiculously expensive and there is such a dearth of programs. I mostly watch sci-fi/fantasy/silly to avoid the disgusting content of most sitcoms/drama.
currently watching:
Once Upon a Time, Once Upon a Time Wonderland, Grimm, Marvel Agents of Shield, Almost Human
Still worth watching TV for:
1. Megyn Kelly
2. Gold Rush
3. NFL Football
4. NBA Basketball
5. NCAA Basketball Tournament
6. Downton Abbey
7. Homeland
Better use of HDTV
1. Chromecast & YouTube for music
2. Chromecast & YouTube for How Do I Do That Type Videos
3. Chromecast & Netflix
4. Chromecast & YouTube & “What is BitCoin?”
Aaahhhh... the light breaks in. We have been called twice this week by Nielsen Ratings, asking what we watch, and if they can keep asking us : o
Said even if we don’t watch much, they want to know, “for business purposes”, LOL.
We politely declined, since we haven’t watched “networks” in decades, and recently, have noted a significant decline/hard lean to the left in all programming - even in sports!?! So, the DH and I have been discussing the most economical way to watch what little we do : /
Strange times these...

Bill’s an idiot. Reality TV is simply a substitute for the overly mindless and repetitive (not to mention preachy) drek that exists for comedy and drama writing on television. There are 500 channels but, for most of them, there are only two programming choices - recycle shows that first aired on the main networks or create programming on a miniscule budget in hopes some sort of oddity will draw an audience. Given the choice, Reality TV attempts to be original programming within the budget constraints of many of these channels. Often, it fails but at least it tries to entertain.
Ow My Balls is the best show on tv.
There are many alternatives to the alphabet channels now.
