A decade or so ago, there was apparently an article in the news asking if you would give up your TV for a month for a million dollars.. I was in a convenience store while driving through Mississippi, and overheard a conversation in which a woman was pondering the question, and expressed doubts that she could do it. Might be a good topic for a Survivor show. Put people in a luxury hotel on an island without TV, and see which one survives the ordeal through a full season of taping.
Yup, the concept was foreign to me until recently. Hard to imagine. I am listening to the radio and my son just walked by and said, "Hey mom, this is just like the olden times, listening to the radio." My DD is online seeing if she can find any episodes of DeGrassi High.
My mom lives close by, so we can always walk down the street for our fix! She watches cable news all day and night. When we visit, the same reports are repeated five or six times- it's like hurricane coverage here in FL only with gunfire or missing children. The same thing, over and over and over. I think that helped me to kick my home viewing habit. Aversion therapy! The kids can go into her bedroom to see their shows, though.
Our newpaper here is delivered so late that I ended up cancelling my subscription. Now I log on each morning to read it. Hmmm......maybe I can watch Cash Cab online. That's such an upbeat game show. Even the losers are winners.

I watched the original growing up. I loved it! It was actually a very good show, groundbreaking with the themes it dealt with for teens at that time. I've watched the new one with my niece who's in high school. I was glad to see it's still pretty good and tackles some hard subject matter, and even has some of the original characters who are parents of the new kids now, a real treat for us old school Degrassi fans!
My favorite distraction is the computer not the TV. Want to accomplish something? Turn off the TV/computer.
