I sure don't miss it. I don't know where I would find the time to just sit in front of the television.
We do have a monitor to watch movies with, but with all the kids recently out of the house, DH and I rarely watch a movie either.

We have DISH and four televisions. My Keith automatically turns a TV on when he enters a room. He goes outside, I turn the TV off, he comes in and turns it back on and goes to a different room, I turn it off and we go back and forth like that constantly. I don't think he even realizes that I turn it off. He just has to have the TV on. Me? I don't have any quirks, at all.

We just got Dish Network at Thanksgiving time, had it about 6 years before that, it is on almost all the time even just for the noise :roll:
We also just got internet the beginning of Nov.,so I'm on it more than watching T.V.

I've been without it for 6 years...and love it! Don't miss it a bit.
Everything I want to see or learn about is on the computer.[/quote]

I still have a TV, and have masses of videos and CDs, might watch 2 or 3 per month. Can't stand the constant noise from it.
And I agree, I can find all I want to see on my computer. I watched some of the old Adams Family series, and some of other oldies that I used to love.

Years ago, my DH and I were fighting about the TV. He yelled, "if you hate it so much, why don't you just sell it". The next day he went to work, and I put an ad in the local buy'n'sell. A week later, when he was all calmed down, he came home from work and the TV was gone. He asked what happened, and I said "I sold it". He's my ex, now. It took a while for that, though, because without a TV, um, things, between us improved incredibly!! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:
