TV sucks, I voluntarily stopped watching it a few years back. I've seen a little bit of things, but like five minutes at a time.. ****ing boring.. I'd rather read my books

Agreed, TV is rubbish. However, anyone who does like it has no need for one in this day and age.

I disagree, I much prefer TV dramas to movies.

I really like a good TV drama but it seems these days they are all below par. Even the 'big' shows have far too many flaws and annoyances.

It's still there you just have to know where to find it.

Channel 4's recent adaptation of David Peace's Red Riding books was fantastic and just as good as anything that channel put out in it's heyday.

I don't really watch an awful lot of televison but I don't miss stuff like that.

Coincidentally I recently lost all my books. This has caused me to focus more attention on watching TV and playing video games.

^ Video games are fine, in my opinion.
I don't like watching TV, it makes me feel like a vegetable.
I like to be doing something, which is why i guess I enjoy going on the computer over watching television.

I don't think I've watched TV for anything other than football-related reasons for almost two years now. I haven't missed it.

None of my TVs can receive a signal, so anything TV related I want to watch I do so online.
