Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, The Office, and My Name is Earl. Thats it. I do not have cable so the kids really do not watch tv here because there is nothing to watch. We rent movies for them and that seems to do it. I will admit that I watch four shows every week. Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, The Office, and My Name is Earl. Thats it.

It meant giving up my satellite TV subscription(only way to get any TV this rurally). I now read 5 books a week, love the peace and quiet, sleep better, and have lost 10 pounds. What's not to like!

Hubby is the one addicted to the thing. I can't wait to tell him that it's TV turn off week. We regularly come around to the whole discussion about getting rid of it. When we were first married we didn't have one. I love the atmosphere of no tellie. In fact we just had the discussion again the other day and he has had it on far less that usual. I just don't know how he'd go giving it up completely these days. I think it's sad how dependent our culture has become to it. Great topic. ;-) I would love to be TV-less.

Or watching a show together with the kids, a movie, or letting the wee ones build crap with their blocks while they watch Thomas the Train or Bob the Builder. They're all wiggly tv-watchers too. It's a shock if they actually sit still for longer than 5 minutes, before they're up and running amok again. :) I couldn't stand to just sit and stare at the tv without doing anything else though. And if other things are going on, we skip the tv watching. Don't even bother with taping shows to watch them later. Life really has gone on without catching every episode of our favorite shows. heh Nah, I’ll skip this event ;) We don’t watch much tv, being book addicts (2151 books in our library), but it’s nice to sit down after the kids are in bed and watch mindless tv, while reading (husband) and doing needlework (myself) and chit-chatting.
