If you had no television, what would you miss about it the most?

Not much ... we are slaves to television. We crowd around it (or even worse, each turn on TVs in our own rooms) to see the latest Law & Order: SVU or sport event.\nImagine, if we had no TVs, we would spend time together as families, and go out and exercise, and sit around the dinner table. We would learn how to TALK to one another. *SIGH*

I actually experimented with this a few years ago when I returned from living in Japan. Having lived overseas for almost two years, I decided not to simply go back to my life as it was before. So initially, I went without cable (or satellite, which I've never had), a cell phone, magazine subscriptions, etc. Gradually, I began reinstating such habits and possessions but I was intrigued to see how long it would take to make the adjustment.\n\nWell, the television thing was intriguing. I found that without benefit of the usual gazillion channels (and options to waste time sitting in front of the idiot box), I watched little to no TV. In fact, limited as I was to only local network fare, I relied heavily on PBS if and when I actually did watch TV at all. I was almost proud of myself for not returning to form... almost.\n\nWhat ended up happening was that I basically bowed to social pressures. This is almost a topic for another question but I realized how much watching and following sports serves as a function of social bonding (particularly with my fellow males). So that eventually necessitated getting ESPN. Loving films as I do, I also missed TCM. Picture quality was another major issue (have you tried using rabbit ears recently? good grief!). And before I knew it -- in this case, within two months -- I was back to my old habits. \n\nBut hey, I am still living without a cell phone and that's something, isn't it? :-)

Habit. It can be broken like any other habit.  I loved TV, but after going a year without it and doing other things, I now can't stand the thing.

No.  But If you don't have cable or satellite service there is not that much to record.

Television has been pretty lame lately so no suggestions here.  Maybe you can put in a movie or turn it off and turn on the radio or get a book or just find something else to do.

It would help if you told us which show you missed.

I'd like to see PAX(now known as Independent Television)bring back Chips,Knight Rider,and Buck Rogers,among others. I would love to see these shows again.

When you watch television, it is the only time when your conscious mind is "inactive."  For good health you need plenty of exercise, so if you watch TV all the time you will turn into a couch potato...and possibly be lonely.  But other than that if you do it in a reasonable amount you should be OK!

I think that would be a marvellous idea. A whole week without people discussing the so called plots of various soaps would be wonderful. Also maybe if the internet crashed people might rediscover the art of conversation, and parents might be a bit more interested in what their sons and daughters are up to.\n\nI would probably take up a new hobby, and I would listen to some music, and read some books, go to the cinema, and rediscover life!

well, everythign would be an issue. explanations, id's, work, my bf, my lifestyle...\ni would miss a few things like being able to dress sexy and tease males. i would not miss periods.\ni would make more money. \nafter i would get clothes, i would go and get a drink, pee standing up and try to find a woman to see how it feels like to make love, instead of being made love to.
