#12 Tossed the TV about a year ago. Haven't regretted it yet. Dr. Chickie Babe grew up two streets over from me. Graduated high school with my sister. |

#11 I have put in a request that Achmed be invited to a Leno show. Leno gave up 50% of his pay already. He could get Achmed and get nothing. Letterman wouldn't work because he just has canned laughter. On Leno they could get good hang time for about fifty feet. |

#9 It could have been done in the old days before cable. Now, those who need their tv can retreat to movies and reruns, and never notice the difference...which is why ABC, CBS, NBC and even public television have been loosing market share for years. |

#8 The tv networks are in steady, serious decline. The govt could subsidize or take them over, but they will still decline. The USSR with its central control fell. A good warning that is unheeded by O and Co. Faxes, little primitive faxes did not help, either. |

#6 I stopped watching TV a little over 8 years ago, don't miss it a bit. The first 21 days were withdrawal, but, by the time 5 to 6 weeks passed I was done with it. Canceled the cable and with the money I was saving found some hobbies and started reading again. |

#5 Just wait until the government nationalizes the networks. 24/7 Pravda propaganda! w00t! Exactly how would that differ from the present situation? |

#4 I've lived without TV, can do it again. Most of the stuff is garbage anyway. I lived without electricity when I was a kid. We also had one of those two-hole outhouses. A bit cold during Michigan winters. However, the experience, developed a knowledge of self-sufficiency and independence. Message for the networks: Don't junk up my TV with that crap. I didn't like Obamacare the first time it was shoved down our throats and we were told to swallow and like it. |
