Bravo, Sasha!
I was starting to think I was the only American who doesn’t watch television!
Well, I should qualify that a bit — we do own an (old) idiot box, and we have a library of movies we like to watch on Friday nights. But we have no cable connection or antenna.
I lived outside of the United States for a while during my adolescence, in a country where I couldn’t speak the language spoken on television. When I got back, the first thing I noticed was how annoying commercials were. Then I started to notice bias in the news coverage. I never got back into the habit of watching television. When I graduated from college and moved out on my own, I didn’t bother to buy a TV.
I was fortunate to find a woman to marry who grew up without television until her teens. She doesn’t need it either. Our son is also doing fine without it.
