    Not worth it!

    i’ve done this entirely unintentionally, and then kept it up. i do watch t.v now, on occasion, but not very often and never very much.
    its sooooo worth it though, i was so much more productive!

    people are often surprised by this but  — 1 year ago

    Worth doing!

    I haven’t owned a TV for over 2 years now and do not miss it at all. I didn’t grow up watching a lot of television and feel better off without such an unnecessary mind numbing devise.

    Not exactly our choice  — 1 year ago

    We lived in a house with lousy antenna reception and couldn’t afford cable. We discovered the joys of NPR and radio dramas like “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” (before it was a book)

    ugh!  — 1 year ago

    Not worth it!

    I do it now more often… though I have a TV I rarely get to turn it on… I miss the simpsons and so many other shows… overnight tv rocks!!! but with the schedule I keep oh my!

    TV isn't all it's cracked up to be  — 2 years ago

    Worth doing!

    I lived without TV for over 2 months. I was living in the UK and TV’s were expensive and I didn’t have one (plus you have to pay a tax to own one!). Read a book!

    So much better  — 2 years ago

    Worth doing!

    During college, I had no time to watch, and now, I sort of hate the mindless repetitiveness of commericals, and the way you can wind up watching something you don’t even care about. I’ll stick to movies and games. Which I do intentionally, not just as a way to “kill time”

    wasn't necessary  — 2 years ago

    Worth doing!

    well.. actually i didn’t live w/o tv for a month, but i decreased the amount of hours watching tv.

    tv isn’t necessary anymore while i’m reading news via web and having fun with games or dvds.

    that’s why i almost stopped watching tv.

    I have lived without a TV now for almost four months, and while I do miss it sometimes I think that my life is better for it. I think that I am now going to try to do the same thing for the Internet, at least my entertainment use of it.

    Not worth it!

    TV broke so I had to.. I miss my TV!! I miss the simpsons, 11 o’clock news, even the stupid commercials…

    ...for months.  — 2 years ago

    Worth doing!

    ...and it felt great. Do you really want to piddle away your precious life staring into a box full of blinkie-lights and brain-numbing noise?
