I gave up watching several years ago when I figured out that nothing coming across the screen made any difference in my life except the weather forecast and I could get that on the radio. I have since given up on the radio as well, since the phone now has the weather on it.
I do use You Tube and love the documentaries and history films. So if I am watching anything it is normally that.
With exception of thirty minutes on Sunday mornings, rarely do I see five other minutes of television, those thirty are a church service.
