I am amazed at the acceptance of violence, rudeness, infidelity, etc. etc. on the tv now a days. Now that ER is over, : ( <br>so sad to say goodbye to Carter, we watch a total of 3 channels on our tv. The Food Network, The Home and Garden Channel and Channel 8, our local programming channel. It is so hard to make sure that the children won't be exposed to something un-neccessary for their age. I don't want to go to the bathroom and have to come back having to explain something they don't need to know right now! <br>Enjoy your time with your family ..... and your husband..... wink . wink : )Giovannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07293813463598024256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964687142485241120.post-123977611779632132009-06-11T20:54:16.522-06:002009-06-11T20:54:16.522-06:00You are so very brave.

When we dropped the cable, we received only CBS and NBC with mediocre reception. For the past 20 years, I tape the national news and Jeopardy, and maybe something else. We wait until the next day to watch, but there are many times when we forget to watch or choose not to, or if we do watch, we often fast-forward through all but the headline of each news story ---or FF to final Jeopardy to see who won. If we really want to watch something else, we can usually get it on DVD at the library or from Netflix or watch on hulu.com. So we don't miss cable. Forty years ago, I lived in Brazil without TV or phones for 2 years. Sometimes I long for those simpler times.CJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964687142485241120.post-73752325852910929212009-06-12T15:05:40.023-06:002009-06-12T15:05:40.023-06:00I love this, Gin!

However, we are the proud new owners of a DVR in the hopes that it will keep our watching to a minimum.<br><br>Can't wait to see the lace!Paco and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00574653924255126134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964687142485241120.post-3992272409823178602009-06-21T18:09:14.085-06:002009-06-21T18:09:14.085-06:00You know what?

But not so. Even with the box, I get nothing at all on the one TV, and only one channel on the other. And you know what? Much to my surprise, I'm not missing TV at all.Great-Granny Grandmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984367859984906071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964687142485241120.post-49893006995670898862009-06-22T09:12:23.319-06:002009-06-22T09:12:23.319-06:00after a whole week without the regular TV, we aren...after a whole week without the regular TV, we aren't missing it at all. i am finding that i enjoy putting my kids down more and am not n a hurry to do so since there isn't a 'show to watch starting at 8.' my husband is enjoying it, too. i am glad they switched, because i never would have made the leap on my own! thanks for all your encouraging words, ladies!!ginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109107355106053563noreply@blogger.com
