So the other night, the hubby and I are watching television around 9:30 in the evening and the TV just shuts down with the blinking power light being its only sign of life. Didn't matter what we did, it would not come back on. We both had the feeling it was fried so started to discuss whether it was time to upgrade from a 42" to a 50", 60" etc.
Then my husband in his typical "against-the-grain" fashion, commented that we probably shouldn't have a TV in the house at all. In his opinion, it "dominated" every one's attention and was on too much anyway.
Let's just say we now have a shiny new 50" Flat Screen TV hanging on the wall.
Disaster Averted!!

Hahaha you caved in to the modern world mania. I'm rather more like your husband and feel TV is a deep pit we fall into and have trouble getting out of. Still, I enjoy the big screen and a good movie.

LOL, I like a TV in the house. I will admit tho we prolly have too many.
I even have one in the garage when I am working on the car or doing a welding project. I think it is more for the white noise it provides.
Every once in a while, my partner and I discuss getting rid of the television. This usually happens after we've just watched some fascinating, violent show that we love like "Dexter." We comment on how we humans are FAR too comfy with violence. It's all basically hyperbole. We love too many shows (Justified, Dexter, True Blood, Girls, The Newsroom....the list just goes on and on.....)
