When we were growing up, we had the only TV in the neighborhood, neighbors would come over on Saturday nights to watch the westerns. I just looked around in our home...not good, I think we have more than we need. How many in your home?

    I couldn't believe it, but we have 6 TV's and 3 VCRs. The only rooms that are TV free are the bathrooms. Actually, this way, all the grandkids can watch what they want and I have my computer all to myself.

    I have one at present, but the wife is pushing to get another one. I lived without a TV for ten years, and loved every minute of it. When my wife and I got married, she had a little TV from her college days that we used. It was fine for me, but she insisted it was too small. I argued with her about getting a new TV-it was a real issue. She told me the small TV was giving her headaches. So for medical reasons, we got a super duper mega gazillion inch television. I have to admit, it makes watching TV a lot easier.

    4 T.V.'s

    When I was a kid we didn't have a television until I was 8 years old. The old man bought one for the family for Christmas in 1956. Prior to that it was the radio, especially every sunday afternoon.

    Lone Ranger
    Rin Tin Tin
    Superman
    Hop-Along Cassidy
    Jack Benny
    Fibber McGee & Molly
    Inner Sanctum
    Dick Tracy

    and a bunch more I can't remember.

    1 TV that never gets watched unless the 1 VCR is playing something worth watching. I'll never forget the $5 cash I received in the mail in order to make my contribution to the Nielsen TV ratings. I was supposed to keep a diary of everything that I watched for a week. I kept the cash and mailed them a blank diary. I get all of my information from AM radio.

    We don't have a TV. Live too far out to pick up anything but a couple of small town stations...and the closest cable is almost 20 miles away. But we don't miss it in the least. There is nothing on TV we want to watch...or have time to watch...or that is fit to watch.

    Don't take a newspaper either. What news we get is from internet news and a radio that sits by my wife's chair.

    5 TVs
    2 DVDs
    2 VCRs
    2 Sat dishes.
    If you live out in the boonies the Sat Dish is the way to go.
    My dad even has a sat dish on his motorhome. Perfect picture perfect sound where ever you go.

    One TV, one VCR. I rarely watch anything if it isn't on The History Channel or one of the news channels. TV is hardly worth filling my brain cells with anymore.

    1 small TV and 1 VCR that plays only doesn't record. I lived in Ithaca, NY from sept88 to sept92. Ithaca is in a valley with no TV reception at all. At that time cable wasn't in the budget. I can't say that 4 years hurt me in any way. During that time I played quite a bit with short wave radio. I still find that more informative and entertaining than TV. I still only watch about 2 hours of TV a week. I spend that much a day on the internet. I've been really tempted lately to pull the plug on that. I could really use the time for something productive.
