How BAD TV has gotten?

I couldn't agree more! We gave away our last tv about 6 or 7 years ago and haven't missed it a bit.

So funny! Same thought!

We recently decided to cancel our Dish Contract. It was just too expensive. Besides, we have Netflix and with the Wii we can watch hundreds, maybe even thousands, of shows instantly through our internet connection. Good shows, shows we liked as kids, documentary, TONS of kids shows, too. Over the past week or so we watched full seasons of several series--Merlin, X-Files, Jim Henson's Storyteller, several others. At $8.95 a month it can't be beat!

We have netflix to and for the most part like it. We don't use it as much as could but that is ok to. We do watch on occasion the instant movies but mostly on the computers. I would say we watch a movie about once or twice a week, still a good deal though. We haven't had a game console in years in the house, I guess we got burned out on them many years ago. I do think tv and games are part of the reason some of the children are in such poor health these days. But that is the fault of the parents not the tv or the games.
