Oh, I could...I NEVER really watch tv. The last show I watched was something on MTV and that was about a month and a half ago. If it weren't for the kids, I probably wouldn't have a tv in the house at all and I DEFINITELY wouldn't be paying for cable!!! Can you live without tv? Why or why not?

I don't watch much television but there are a few certain shows that I don't want to miss. so I could live without it but only for a little while. I really like some shows and I look forward to watching them every week. The show House is one I wouldn't want to miss.

i suppose i couldnt live without it because it cures the boredom sometimes and i love neighbours :). But on the other hand if i couldnt afford one or they wernt invented i would have to deal with it and i would probably find something else to do, probably be more healthy too :)

Well i don't really watch that much TV but occasionally when i feel bored i like to watch some music and comedy programs. Then i like to follow news and current affairs, not to forget sports events which i like to watch. But i have cut down as i used to watch daily soaps which was time comsuming and never ending and i didn't wanted to end up as couch potato as i have better things to do.

Yeah I can personally, but to save my sanity I prefer to have it. I do wish thow that I could customize my channels and only pay for the ones I actually want.

Yes I think I could live without I have it on as Background and thats all very rare I watch it. I think I would still have one in the House though as I do like to know it is there if I want it.

No, I couldn't live without a tv. I don't watch it very much but I like to watch the news every morning while I am having breakfast and again in the evening while I am having my tea. This is my daily ritual and even though I could listen to the news on the radio, it is not the same as seeing the pictures. I suppose it's a bit like I would rather watch a movie than read a book.

Well, I must have a television, so I can watch my favorite Aussie Rules team. I can't live without my footy.

Honestly, I wish I were like you and could live without it, but I can't. I would go nuts! My TV is on all the time. My daughter watches several shows thru the day and then my son has 2 shows he likes to watch after school. After supper, bathes and bedtime for the kids, this is my way of winding down. I TiVo my fav shows and sit and watch them until about midnight. Then, off to dreamland myself. I have many shows I just can not go without watching! I mean, I wouldn't die or anything, but I sure would be bored a lot more. LOL

I could live without TV much more easily than i could live without my computer! I don't watch it very often, an hour a night max, when we're eating. I only really watch specific TV shows, i don't just sit and watch it for the sake of it. Even then there arne't that many i watch.

I think I could live without T.V. I know when my parents television broke when we were kids, we didn't get a t.v. for a long time and we played outside and we were never bored. Now as an adult, I love to read and so on, so I think I could occupy my time, I would miss some of my shows but it is not something I couldn't live without!
