Tsk Tsk. Nobody has yet mentioned the greatest television series of all time, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

I’m not laughing. This thing is superb. Were you shocked at what happened with Kara Thrace last week? I was. I had no idea that was coming.
 
Actually, I forgot two of my favs, both on Discovery Channel: How Is It Made? from the CBC (thanx, Canadian taxpayers) and Mythbusters.
 
The Sopranos (HBO version of course)
LOST
The Shield
Florida Gator football
SEC football
Tennessee Titans football
NFL football
All In the Family
Real Time with Bill Maher
Nick at Night
 
Dog the Bounty Hunter, and King of the Hill are the only shows I’ll deliberately tune in, aside from the local news on occasion.

I watched Barbarian Week on the History channel this last week, those were some interesting programs.

TV is mostly vacuous. Time is better spent doing than watching.

TV is not evil…it can only be used for evil. TV is not the problem with today’s society. The real problem is moral relativism and liberalism, both of which should regulate what is displayed on the TV. I could say the same thing about books. They can promote evil ideas, sexual themes, sexual images, etc. That doesn’t make all books evil. Your theory doesn’t hold water.

Even when TV is not used to promote reletivist or liberal ideas it is still bad. It destroys creativity and makes people stupid.

The key phrase is: “in my humble opinion.” It’s not relaxing for you, but it is for some people. TV in moderation is not messing up one’s mind, any more than staring at your computer screen reading this message is.

Watching TV for only a few minutes can put one into theta sleep. It is best to avoid the boob tube entirely.

I don’t pretend to think that TV is a the best thing in the world. In fact, I’ve written a report on how it can be harmful when used improperly. But telling people that it is evil and that they are foolish to watch it is irrational.

I disagree. People need to be informed that they are wasting their time watching trash.

Says who? “Recreation” does not automatically equal “wasting time.” God gave us recreation as a gift when He created the sabbath. Who says every waking hour must be spent reading or exercising? What’s wrong with enjoying leisure? How can it be a “waste of time” to enjoy life?

Had you said that an excess of lesiure is bad, I would have agreed. All things in moderation. “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven,” Ecc. 3:1

I watch no television. Throw your TVs out. Break your TVs. Watching TV is a total waste of time. The world is enslaved by television.

Ah, but TV is not recreation. It’s an addiction. Many many people are addicted to TV. People may think they are having fun watching TV; but really they are not. TV is not lesiure; it’s an addiction.

Whenever there is really “severe weather” I just check the internet, or I just look outside, or I see what the weather page in the newspaper says. Also, for all of human history people haven’t had to use TVs to check for warnings about “severe weather”.

Many people are addicted to alcohol (a vastly more destructive addiction than television) but that doesn’t make alcohol inherently bad. It isn’t — only the abuse of alcohol is bad.

Just because something can be misused, doesn’t make it inherently bad. Almost anything can be misused.

ok you have , your answer is you dont care. but for much of human history theres wasnt any way to take care of the kidneystone problem I on occasion have either , but I do take advantage of medical technology when I do get one. I suggest you dont get in a debbate with me on the severe weather, because Im a degree meteorologist and I know what it can do. and I say this if one is injured by severe weather or killed because they didnt use the modern way of warning themselves ie tv and radar on tv, it is their fault.
 
I literally didn’t watch TV from about 2003 to late last year.

Now I will watch “Good Eats” or the occasional rerun of “MAS*H”, if I have nothing better to do.

Unlike my DW, who yesterday actually used up two perfectly good hours watching Conehead the Barbituate. I fail the see the attraction of a sweaty Ahr-nold, but that’s me.
 
I make no apologies for my love for television. The Anti-TV nutjobs out there don’t phase me in the least.

My favorite show is 24. I also enjoy sports, news, documentaries, and of course, EWTN.

If you want to waste your time watching garbage like 24 then that’s your problem. While you’re rotting your brain, “Anti-TV nutjobs” like me will spend our time reading or having enlightened conversation.

Addionally, this thread demostrates the puerile mentality of many people on this message board. Sorry, but many of you guys don’t seem to be too smart.🙂

Do “severe weather” warnings justify television? I think not.

Yeah, I just sort of struggled my way through law school until I earned my doctorate in jurisprudence by sheer luck, and now I just coast along in my solo law practice without reading. TV really ruined my brain, all right. If only I would make something of myself.

Ever think that maybe some of us watch TV because we need the break?

Evidently, you are able to deal with television and you do not let it overly affect you. However, society as a whole is not able to handle TV properly. Hundreds of millions of people are addicted to TV. Just because you can deal with television does not mean everyone else can. There are a lot of stupid people out there and TV is not helping.
