Not just good....the best! I love tv and think it is one of the best inventions ever created. I find programs very educational and interesting, such as documentaries. Joey made a good point on friends, if you didnt have a TV...what would all your furniture point at? lol

Well, I'm not really sure if watching tv really hurts the physical body in any way, the only way you could even say it could is because it tends to be a time when there is inactivity. I think that some tv time where you are just relaxing and watching your favorite show/s is a great thing. For me personally, when I exercise I have the tv on because it keeps me going--so in that way it's very good, and it keeps me happy, and for me it's very easy to fall into depression and anxiety. So it's really a case by case basis. I don't believe that watching tv hurts anyone, but I do think that being active while watching tv is a great thing, not just sitting there snacking or whatever. Short answer is, I think it's not watching tv that is bad for our bodies, but maybe the habits we have, like sitting for hours or snacking and not realizing how much because you are distracted. That being said, there are shows that I wouldn't stop watching for anything. Reasonably thinking I don't think it's necessary for anyone to stop watching tv, just think about the reasons you think it's bad, and figure out a way to watch tv while being healthier. I definitely believe it's possible!
