It's been over a year since I had a TV

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

It's both both a liberating and sadly Simpsons deficient lifestyle.

Are you sans box?

[Zuni]

1. No, but I really watch only HBO and edu-tainment

like Forensic files

Couldn't live w/out Curb Your Enthusiasm and Ali G sometimes

[Kellanved]

2. "Simpsons deficient" ?

You need a TV for the Simpsons? :shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. You don't?

:shrug:

[Kellanved]

5. Let's just say:

A TV wouldn't help me one bit.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. OH - you're one of them

give me your secrets - I want that kind of lifestyle!

[Kellanved]

7. What secret?

Getting DU to work on aAamish laptop took some serious work, but aside from that?

8. Thou know what I mean!

:wink:

10. the PPTP internet connection?

That's just a question of using good seeds to feed the pigeons.

11. I enjoy a good virtual barn raising as much as the next soul.

[Kellanved]

14. exactly

There is a good virtual barn raising channel on IRC: check #simpsonsmpg on EFnet.

15. Thank thou!

3. I'm thinking seriously about it

I hate to give all that money to Comcast every month. I NEED the internet, but TV?

I would want to keep the set for DVD movies and such, but I could really do without cable.

9. I won't give up my tv set completely.

Strictly because I wouldn't be able to watch DVD's.

But I'm really getting sick of the complete, idiotic dross that comprises 99.9999999999% of television nowadays.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. My computer plays my DVD collection and those I rent

So I'm ahhite - except I love PBS, The Daily Shw, The Simpsons, Family Guy and Cartoon Network :cry:

[Fenris]

12. I find that the majority of what I watch is animated.

Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, Futurama, Big-O, Fullmetal Alchemist, the Venture Brothers, Harvey Birdman...the list goes on.

The only live action shows I ever watch are Seinfeld reruns and the Daily Show.

16. You are my kind of person, person.

13. 4 years of university

By choice I had no television - I found that my evenings were mostly spent drinking wine and talking......

Now life without a stereo system - that's a totally different ball-game.

18. Yes, my TV broke in June

So it's almost a year now. I decided not to repair it, since it was such a horrible machine. The hours behind the keyboard have increased immensely, but I don't miss it anymore. I've been to a hotel a couple of times and then you could spend the evening zapping. The first hour was pretty cool again and then it became boring :)
