Owing to complicated events in my childhood, we didn't have a tv for about 4 years - and by the time we had one, I had very limited interest in spending any time with it. I agree... less time watching and more time with hobbies. Yeah for all of you!Jennithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267852702688262202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555974008844207914.post-14617106287275990042009-02-26T19:37:00.000-08:002009-02-26T19:37:00.000-08:00very nice! i too thought what Clare wrote..lolour ...very nice! i too thought what Clare wrote..lol<BR/><BR/>our TV is only switched on in the evening for news and my shows though i really only watch my shows on Thursday night. American Idol and a bunch of other shows. The kids are not TV addict, they dont get upset or throw a tantrum when I flick the channel which is great. there is a chinese cartoon show that i put on since i want Ava to pick up mandarin. and i sometimes put on the french radio channel just for the heck of it..lolAidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554795865874702432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555974008844207914.post-59829086972777036042009-02-25T20:41:00.000-08:002009-02-25T20:41:00.000-08:00you should get the blue planet too.

There's a pop up add when you first click on it, but just ignore it. <BR/><BR/>Hope it works for you!

Maybe ...I lived without cable for... almost a year. Maybe less than that. I left university, and didn't buy a TV until a month before I left for Rankin. And I heard there would be a TV in my new place, so I never even hooked up the cable for it, and returned the set. <BR/><BR/>I didn't really miss it, because I gave it up in the summer, and there's so much else to do ... really. And I could just download the shows I wanted to watch when it came down to it. <BR/><BR/>Now I don't think I can do the non-cable thing. If I could download missed episodes etc, then sure, sign me up. But until frakin' Lost goes off the air... or I move somewhere more southern... <BR/><BR/>I'll probably still be a slave to my cable box. <BR/><BR/>And for a chick who lives by herself... the Game Show Network is some great company.Jackie S.

I've gone entire years in the past without it and I find that I don't really miss it. It's incredible how many other things you can find to occupy your free hours....although I have to make a concession for DVD's. CSI rocks....but I always just wait for each season to come out on DVD so I don't have to work my schedule around when they come on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555974008844207914.post-9762423241068284372009-02-22T18:45:00.000-08:002009-02-22T18:45:00.000-08:00Good on ya, it's amazing how tv can chew up your t...Good on ya, it's amazing how tv can chew up your time. We gave up cable in 2002. Like you, we'll rent seasons of something (Battlestar and the Unit were recent favs.)<BR/>To entertain the toddler between dinner and bath time, lately we've gotten into Google Ocean, which is loaded with National Geographic and BBC nature clips like giant squid in Baha and sharks in the Barrier reef. Pretty cool interactive stuff plus it gives her a little lesson in geography.APFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053406399897835074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555974008844207914.post-8600744919391106692009-02-22T18:40:00.000-08:002009-02-22T18:40:00.000-08:00We have those dvd's!

But I do -- for HOURS -- at night.<BR/><BR/>Planet Earth DVDs are pretty cool. Would Hunter and baby number two enjoy that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
