I know it seems crazy to some of you but some people like to watch cable TV. We can shout HBO GO until we're blue in the face, there's not that many shows on it, really. There are arguably great shows on HBO Go but it's not that many and most of the seasons for each show are like 8 episodes long, great! Netflix .. really? OK, I get that is fashionable and everything but I don't ever see any data to back up that cable TV is done.
Also, as an aside, why is it so fashionable anyway? There's just all this pride of like "I haven't had cable or satelite in 6 years" or the "last time I had a cable was when Cheers was on but I turned it off and watched an interpretive dance instead."

I gave up cable for the same reason that a lot of people give up drinking... I couldn't handle it responsibly. I hit bottom, thinking "I've only seen this episode of 'Friends' a few times already, I'll watch this". So in order to keep from feeling like the TV is the default center of my life, I had to remove it.
