From the headline, I was expecting the correlation to be that more TV watching equals more loneliness. At least, that's been my experience. The years I spent without a TV were the most productive, and least lonely, of my life. (Of course, those years were also before the advent of the web, so there was a lot less time online, as well, which may be a factor.) As David Mamet put it, "Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it isn't fun. It's entertainment."
