When I read the threads on this bbs about the current TV shows, and the debates about what the plot line(s) in "Lost" really mean, I have an almost irresistible temptation to chime in and say "Look, guys, it isn't real!".
And, no offense, that would have been a little annoying.
Would you make the same comment if we were discussing a novel?
Sorry, that just got under my skin a little. I'm happy that you're happy without TV, but I thoroughly enjoy it and consider it a hobby in which I get very invested. Also, I have two tuners that prevent me from having to spend those hours you mentioned plotting out the week's recordings, so there's no pain or hassle for me.
