Hey Cheyne,

Yeah, I hear ya. I guess TV does become a distraction at some point… if you let it. But internet… no way! I don’t know what I’d do without the net… that’s my life baby!

I lived in Japan for a while, and TV there was UNWATCHABLE if you don’t know the language and are too poor for satellite.

So I got used to skipping TV. Nerdishly did more reading than ever — complete anthology of Sherlock Holmes, The Natural, Dubliners, Wicked — whatever I could get on the English rack at the bookstore.

And when I got home, decided to continue non-TV lifestyle. Internet is just as big (if not moreso) a distraction – case in point.

I never really got into Conan… I’ll have to give him a shot.

Yeah, luckily, I never felt attached. Watching TV is just something I can do nowadays and not feel guilty about it. I guess I used to feel guilty.

I watch TV just a few minutes before falling asleep, and from time to time just for some minutes.I don’t feel attracted to TV anymore, when I can see all I want on the internet, at any time, and only things that I’m interested in.

i don’t watch prime time tv.
i usually watch jay leno…and conan o’brien.

conan is great for entrepreneurs – his offbeat personality and weird comedy sketches can really get the juices flowing

Yeah, big ups to Prison Break and House! What’s a matter, you guys don’t love HBO? hehe….

Brian, yeah I like to watch stuff on the net as well… but not usually. That’ll probably change since all shows will be online soon enough.

Adnan, how’s Dragon’s Den? I hear it’s good.

I don’t watch TV. In fact, I don’t even pay for cable in my apartment.

That’s because I prefer vids on the Internet, like those on YouTube and Metacafe. For me, it’s an escape similar to the escape one gets when watching television. But I like that I can watch them according to my own schedule.

Most of them are mindless, sure, but they give me a quick laugh. And sometimes that’s just what the doctor ordered.

I am pretty much the exact same way. I watch a set of shows and not much else. I watch 24, Prison Break, House, The Simpsons, Family Guy and The War at Home.
