Rather than stopping watching TV, I just started doing more things and suddenly there was no time for tv.
Highly recommended! Choose rich experiences over passive entertainment.

I agree with a lot of what's being said here, what is reality TV about? I can't think of anything less real:>. My TV broke down six months back and it's been great getting back out on the mountain bike again. I must admit to missing some of the live sport TV though, so I checked out how to watch tv online. This is what I use. I know I had to pay for it but it does it for me.

I think that it is great that you are getting by without the tv. I agree that there is much more to life than getting caught up in the world of television. Especially these days with all the reality shows on. I’d rather pick up a magazine or read a book!

TV is a very antisocial idiot box. just recall the days you had to go without tv for a day or two and the family would get together in the evening telling stories or catching on with each others lives. While i cant live without tv, i also appreciate the fact that social life with my family would be highly enhanced if were to lose it.. but may be life would become boring after all…ill never know until i get the idiot away from the box

[...] Save yourself the $20/month. My school offered a basic cable package in the dorms and apartments, for free, and we hardly ever even watched that. If your school doesn’t even offer that much, pick up a set of bunny ears, or just remind yourself that nearly all of the good shows are streaming online now. [...]

I had a hard time learning to live without TV, but now that I am used to it, I wouldn’t start watching again! It’s really nice not to have all that noise and those violent images interrupting my dinner.

My fondest memories with my two boys happened when we had no TV. One place we lived we just couldn’t get it. Another time lightning ruined our TV. Both times have special memories of our TVless time together.

Its hard but not impossible. Like everything, moderation is the key. I’ve reached a point that I’ve reduced my TV time mainly because I realized how angry I was becoming over idiotic/formulaic shows and infuriating commercials.

I have done both. My life has revolved around the TV schedule and I’ve totally sworn off of TV. Right now the TV is on almost all the time, but I rarely watch anything. I think it’s just habit and background noise. I think it would be great for people to at least lessen the amount of time that they watch TV, even if they don’t totally quit watching it.
