I think Tv is the downfall of modern civilization.(no, I'm not a hippy) I've actualy done research on the feasibility of building a cannon to shoot down satellites in geo-synchronous orbit. I see so many people park their sorry fat asses in front of television screens and just drool on themselves for hours on end while stuffing various synthetic food products down their now useless mouth. I can think of 100 things off the top of my head that are better uses of your time then watching television. I think time spent on the computer is more educational aswell, it's interactive first of all so you are on send and receive mode instead of just receive (corporate jingles and other such nonsence)and also you can learn a lot more interacting with people across the globe breaking out of your immediate geographical culture.

If tv consisted of no commericals and more educational/interesting programming I might not hate it to the degree I do. I mean you pay for Tv yet 25% of the time you are watching it you are bombared by flashing lights and corporate jingles/slogans.
 
i only watch movies on tbs and sienfield, king of queens, sienfield, family guy, and simpsons. or skiing and stuff like that but other than that it sucks
 
i dont hate tv. i rather enjoy it. what i do hate is when the tv is CONSTANTLY on, even when there's nothing good on and when it's excessively used as background noise...my roommate does this ALL the time.
 
The only channels that I ever watch on tv is: ESPN, NFL/NBA/NHL Networks, Discovery, Travel, History and little Current TV. I agree with you to a certain extent, but at the same time I think TV can be very educational if you look in the right places.

i hate television, although i watch teh sports and my favourite shows...eys i am the elie of the hypocrites.

t.v. is just degrading
 
yeah i dont really like it, there is always something more fun to do, sitting in front of the tv seriously can ruin your life. i feel guilty every time i watch it. its just so much better to go outside and do something.
 
I rather enjoy my nightly family guy episodes, but if you want to see the real problem with tv, look no further than reality tv. Now THAT is shallow, mindless entertainment for the masses.
 
well i can manage to balance watching tv and doing a whole shitload of other things so it's not a problem for me it's your own fault if you sit there for hours on end
 
i think some tv is probably better than the time i waste surfing newschoolers...just a thought i get sometimes
 
nice list.

Everything in moderation....but it is, without a doubt, lazy entertainment. Yah it's something to do, but as the list above suggests, there's lots to do, you've just chosen to be lazy. Not that that's always a bad thing, i personally would rather do something that'll at least leave me with something worth remembering about that day.
 
the best solution is to not get cable. I only get the CBC here...how often is that worth watching? Coronation street double episodes EVERY week night!! WOOO!
 
"I see so many people park their sorry fat asses in front of television screens and just drool on themselves for hours on end while stuffing various synthetic food products down their now useless mouth"

sitting infront of a computer, is that any better?
 
On a side note I'm a fan of movies, although I don't watch them too often. I like cartoons (simpsons, family guy) on box sets aswell, I just get sick watching commericals.

x2!

there's 100
 
I agree with you, Even the wheather channel is becoming a garbage thing full of pubs, I mean, you have to wait about 10 minutes to get the one second of information you really need. Why do your posts count only 1? I see like 3 in this only thread...
 
Agreed, TV regardless of weather or not it is entertaining is terrible. TV is a huge component of instilling racism, sexism, and consumerism in Americans. The technology age which at frist seams bad ass has some problems. People start replacing their real friends with electronic friends (ie NS threads). In 1999 harvard did a study that showed a corrolation between watching TV and low public engagment, lack of sociability, and just general loutishness.

I wouldnt dought if TV has some influnce on all the hate on this web page.

Turn off your tv, log of NS, and go do something
 
Well I don't hate TV. But I much much rather go biking or just walking around the woods or skateboarding. However sometimes when it's like 2 AM and raining out and I just don't have the energy to ride my old bike through puddles, TV is a good source of entertainment (magazine is better though). There is some good stuff on TV, like Reno, and Aquateen. Also, Discovery/ history channel is kinda hit or miss for awesome stuff.
 
TV needs to die. the idea behind it isnt bad, but so much of the shit on it is fuckin garbage. like vh1. and E! celebrities need to burn also
 
ive got 3 channels, and no desire to have anymore. why the hell would i want to watch other people do cool shit? do it yourself
 
tv is becoming stupid, it makes people believe they have to be cool by doing something someone does on mtv. tv is a tool used to change the mind
 
this is the real reason why you kids all love your little glowing box so much... (courtesy of disinformation.com):

"When you watch TV, brain activity switches from the left to the right hemisphere. In fact, experiments conducted by researcher Herbert Krugman showed that while viewers are watching television, the right hemisphere is twice as active as the left, a neurological anomaly. The crossover from left to right releases a surge of the body's natural opiates: endorphins, which include beta-endorphins and enkephalins. Endorphins are structurally identical to opium and its derivatives (morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.). Activities that release endorphins (also called opioid peptides) are usually habit-forming (we rarely call them addictive). These include cracking knuckles, strenuous exercise, and orgasm. External opiates act on the same receptor sites (opioid receptors) as endorphins, so there is little difference between the two."
 
the trio is fucking sick!!!!!!!!!!

i dont really watch much tv ne more, except 4 tunin in to sportscenter after weekends and watching sports. in CO we have altitude, which has some good shit on it during winter(skiing, basketball, etc.) so i watch that in the winter. no real shows tho...everything on has really gone down the shitter (minus the simpsons, which i rarely see).
 
i agree, t.v. is a big pile of shit!

i do watch movies here and there. but i can't sit there and watch t.v. for more than 10 min without thinking...what a fucking waste of time, i could be learning to spell so i don't sound like a idiot every time i post!

video games are a bigger waste of time!
