To all DUers who don't watch TV, how do you do it?

23. Large part of why I don't watch that stuff

not since the cable and broadcast channels started their race to the bottom of brainlessness. Imagine, A&E used to be like a commercial version of PBS (it was cited as a reason that PBS was "unnecessary&quot , Discovery showed science, history, and nature documentaries, Bravo showed foreign films, and History showed historical documentaries besides World War II, the Bible, and the occult.

Yes yes yes!! Astute observation of how those channels/shows have gone to the dogs. I've always been a real "hardware" buff and gearhead but even the shows with that stuff got dumbed down. All the shows about classic cars and restorations became just another way of putting a dollar sign on what was once a good hobby. Don't even get me going on 'The Military Channel' or 'Military History Channel'. They became absolutely unwatchable and morphed into rah-rah sessions of the military industrial complex and the hawkishness of US foreign policy. They ought to just call them 'The Neocon Channel'.
