If it's anything like the book I wouldn't bother.

You guys may not believe it, but I sold my TV 2 weeks ago. The only thing worth watching on public TV was the News, which are also available through the Internet tubes.

Thinking about it, my favourite News anchor on the "tubes" is a guy named Jim

I gave away my TV when I bought my 28" monitor two years ago. There are shows I like, but I can see them through Amazon Prime if I really want to.

One of my teachers in high school used to say that television is the rape of the mind. We do not even have cable or satellite TV at the house the only thing we use the television for is to watch movies on Bluray or DVD or from the internet and my daughter plays some video games on it.

A man that works for me does not even own a TV at all.

Of course the internet based news is just as silly.I do not see it as a bad sign merely a sign that people who think (or start to) use a different source of information other than the main stream outlets.
