There are, I would argue, some good shows on tv (Downton Abbey), but mainly those can be watched via Netflix or from the library. For me, it's going to have to be baby-steps. I've been considering doing away with cable. Maybe after the Tour de France ;)<br /><br />I do admire you for not succumbing!Liza in Ann Arborhttp://provenceinannarbor.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157649763596808151.post-58321237763590664092012-02-12T23:56:31.494-05:002012-02-12T23:56:31.494-05:00It is strange isn't it?

Yet, our culture says it's ok to prioritize it over people and they are 100% ok choosing the Desperate Housewives or the Bachelor over the real live humans in their lives and telling them so without batting an eyelash.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626133162650984625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157649763596808151.post-77149191679403713692012-02-12T10:43:58.220-05:002012-02-12T10:43:58.220-05:00Not having cable, it seems, is equally controversi...Not having cable, it seems, is equally controversial. I grew up without a TV but have had one in my own home most of my adult life. In fact, I just purchased a new one that is mainly used to watch movies. Or I hook up my computer so that I can watch Hulu. I think I had cable for 6 months and then couldn't justify the cost given that I'm not home enough to watch. People simply can't believe I don't have cable. They're like, "Oh, my goodness! What do you do with your life?" Ummm...?<br /><br />I've also been turned down for TV shows. This is just...strange. I mean, I've gotten sucked into American Idol this season as well, but I still prefer real people.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606773460727128896noreply@blogger.com
