NUance Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I been watching too damn much TV lately. Partly because of insomnia. But I think the insomnia is due to too much TV. So I'm gonna try to quit the tube for a month. Cold turkey. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That is not a good idea with NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs in full swing. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I could quit TV, especially with the Internet. I actually watch very few shows, but those I watch I quite like: Mythbusters Dirty Jobs Jamie at Home Tyler's Ultimate No Reservations There's no way I could go cold turkey during football season. I'd asplode. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 pu&&y...I'd like to see you try this during college football season. Quote Link to comment
huskersrule95 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I really don't think I could give up TV. I don't really have many shows I watch regularly but for some reason I am still finding something to watch. Quote Link to comment

I'd asplode. I like Mythbusters. And sometimes watch Dirty Jobs (I've had a couple of those jobs.) But I haven't even heard of the other three. For me its: Archer Lights Out Justified Law and Order Quote Link to comment

That's the thing. The Hawks just got eliminated from the NHL playoffs. I don't follow NBA. So I got nothin right now. Of course I'll grant myself college football this fall. It would take too much time to drive to every game. Quote Link to comment

I don't really have many shows I watch regularly but for some reason I am still finding something to watch. Yeah, I'm not sure I can go cold turkey. I'm a serious grazer of late night TV. btw, I'm mildly addicted to watching movies too. Which is where I got the line for that third choice, as I'm sure you recognize. . . . Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think the longest period I've gone without watching TV was a day or two if I'm not on vacation. Theres too many shows that I watch plus you have to throw in both the NCAA and NFL Football season, Hockey games that are available to watch, Cubs games, and UFC Pay Per Views that I enjoy watching. Plus when you own a 52" and a 55" HD Flat Panel TV's its hard not to watch TV Quote Link to comment
Parl Celini Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I could, I'll watch everything on netflix or espn3 (is it still considered television if I don't watch it on a tv?) Quote Link to comment

So I'm gonna try to quit the tube for a month. Cold turkey. What's going on? Talk to us. Going on? Well, not much right now. No more spring ball. The Blackhawks are done for the year. We got this NFL strike thing going. OTOH, I've been real busy at work, at home I'm remodelling a downstairs rec room, and building a fence around my back yard. Plus my baby boy just learned how to walk, and can throw a ball! I just think about how much time I waste watching TV. I could be doing more productive things. Like goofing around in the internets. /jk Quote Link to comment

There's is busy and then there is kid busy. It's the kind of busy that only people with kids can only understand. But t.v.,websurfing or gaming can electronically overstimulate your brain. Instead of quiting cold turkey, maybe you can do it maybe your setting yourself up for failure by choosing an unrealestic goal, maybe try turning the t.v. off for an hour at dinner and one hour before bedtime. Where should I send the bill? Lol. I am a longtime sufferer of insomnia Quote Link to comment
