Besides the news, sports and "Gilmore Girls" (don't ask, a friend is making me watch it) I don't watch TV. If I had cable, I'd probably watch stuff on the History, Discovery channels, etc. I watch movies on DVD though.

I only watch sports on TV... but I wouldn't miss it too much.

I went 8 months (I was in Kosovo) without TV and it never bothered me. Then again I was kinda busy all day :D

For me, the choice is either Cable TV, or Cable Modem...Being in college, the internet is kind of something that you have to have. So, I'm going to go without cable most likely for 9 months except on breaks. And I doubt I'll miss it too much.

I could go along time, i don;t watch too much tv, i probably spend more time on the computer. I watch alot of DVD's though.

I used to watch TV all the time before I got into the Internet - not so much anymore.

Now, the only shows I watch with consistancy are Frontline and Nova. That's not to say I can't enjoy some Daily Show now and then. And, of course, in season, Marlins and Dolphins games are often on in the background. =)

But I could go quite a while without TV, I would say.

a college student without a tv?? nooope.. i don't think so..

i don't watch tv that much actually.. i watch movies more than anything... but thats just because i love movies.. plus i'm thinking about getting into the entertainment industry..

I can go for a long time without TV these days. There are only 2 or 3 shows that I enjoy (Simpsons being one :)). Now DVDs on the other hand - that's my weakness. Love the movies (and The Simpsons box sets of course).

I could go indefinately, I rarely watch TV, there is so much crap on - perhaps if I had cable I'd have a different stance :P

Depends on when the next Boston Bruins road game would be...

and...does watching DVD's constitute TV?

BenChuy 08-20-2003 01:37 PM

as long as i have internet, high speed, then i could go for life.

PulpMind 08-20-2003 04:04 PM

until last week, I havn't had a TV for about... 8 months?
and hardly ever watched tv before then...
now, without cable, I only watch conan o'brien, the simpsons, and the occasional movie (like Starship Troopers right now)...
I do wish I had comedy central, discovery and such tho =T

As long as it's not available i can go with out it. but put one in a room and I'm done.

When my band played one of it's first shows the bar we played at had a TV on top of a cooler and I had perfect view of... i watched while on stage and performing... I couldn't stop looking at it. i asked that they please turn it off... everybody laughed.

anti fishstick 08-20-2003 04:25 PM

probably a month or more. i just don't watch tv that much. movies on the other hand....

Jameson 08-20-2003 04:35 PM

Well, I have internet on cable, so I get the basic cable channels. I watch them occasionally because they are there, but really if I didn't have TV I wouldn't watch it. I'd just surf even more (if thats possible).

Now, if I didn't have the Internet....<shudders>...

em1014 08-20-2003 08:47 PM

It used to be a day at most. I had all my shows that I kept up with. Now since I've started college, there is just not enough time to plan around my shows. That is what summer re-runs are for. So now... if I'm doing something/entertained I can go for long time without it. When I'm bored... that's a different story!

peacy 08-21-2003 05:57 AM

I stopped watching TV ~1.5 yr ago. It's great and most probably something huge has to happen to start it again...
After I've stopped I realized how much time I've spent watching that stupid box... There're so many other things you can do... (For ex. instead of watching sports you could do some...:))

hobo 08-21-2003 01:02 PM

Forever. I rarely watch TV and anything that is TV is also on the Internet.
