How many DU'ers don't watch TV?

[McKenzie]

I have a tiny portable that lives in the attic; it only gets used during the Formula 1 racing season. Otherwise, I wouldn't allow a TV into my house. Ignore my indulging in F1 - parallel universe LOL!

Some researchers have dubbed TV "electronic heroin":

"Most unsettling of all is this: the content of television is not a vision but a manufactured data stream that can be sanitized to 'protect' or impose cultural values. Thus we are confronted with an addictive and all-pervasive drug that delivers an experience whose message is whatever those who deal the drug wish it to be. Could anything provide a more fertile ground for fostering fascism and totalitarianism than this? In the United States, there are many more televisions than households, the average television set is on six hours a day, and the average person watches more than five hours a day—nearly one-third of their waking time. Aware as we all are of these simple facts, we seem unable to react to their implications. Serious study of the effects of television on health and culture has only begun recently. Yet no drug in history has so quickly or completely isolated the entire culture of its users from contact with reality. And no drug in history has so completely succeeded in remaking in its own image the values of the culture that it has infected.

I suppose we all make excuses for whatever habits we have - I used to do it with alcohol. However, I absolutely HATE teevee with a vengeance. Since kicking the habit several years ago I find that I've never missed it at all.

I wonder how many regular viewers could turn off their teevee for, say, a month? Could you do it?
