After 11 years of no TV, we just purchased one so that our 2 year old won’t have to stare at a phone screen to watch educational videos. After he leaves for college, I’d be happy to return to a no TV house.

To answer your question, my wife is a lifelong learner. She spends most nights reading or taking courses to further her career. I’m a hobby person - playing instruments, woodworking, 3d printing, electronics, house projects. If we want to watch a new movie, we’ll see it in theaters. We don’t have time for tv shows. We’ve never watched The Office, GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire, etc. which makes for interesting double dates.

I don’t understand how you can watch tv with all of the other things you could be doing tbh.

I’m my mind, sitting in front of a device that only lets me watch things it decides on the timeframes it decides whilst blasting me with ads is one of the last things I want to do with my time.

Almost anything is better

Don’t have TV for almost 20 years now, don’t miss it a bit. There’s only crap on TV, nothing I wanna waste my time on, and adverts all over the place. Who wants that?
