My wife and I stopped watching television almost a year ago. We do watch one or two movies a week still, but not regular TV.
When we first tell people we don't watch TV anymore the general reaction is "That's great, I wish I could do that."
It does periodically get a little awkward sometimes. The biggest time it gets awkward is when our friends that know we don't watch TV ask us things like "hey, did you see the trailer for that new movie?" or "Hey, did you see this story on the news last night?" No, we don't watch TV, we don't see very many movie trailers, just what is on the DVD before the movie we rented, and those are usually for older movies. We don't watch the local news (we do read local news though.)
- Groxx 16y agoI keep somewhat up to date with news via this site, and some from NPR. Between the two, everything major and most I'm likely to care about is covered, and I feel no great loss at not knowing that there was a 12 car pileup in Kansas, nor do I lament wading through the websites / 45 minute piece covering it to get to anything remotely important.
