I didn't watch TV much...but then i lived with roomates whoe wanted cable... Sci-Fi, National Geographic, Discovery, Comedy Central...it's the worst thing to happen to me! TV is evil and i need to never ever own one! Curse this little but functional box of mine! When i could be outside i end up sitting in front of that box while it chatters away at me, telling me what to think, what to wear, how to build a house in less than a week, and how many other things i could be doing with my life other than sitting there doing nothing when i should be hiking but i'm just watching... kill your TV...then come over and kill mine...PLEASE!!!???!!!
