Sure, i'd love to have a TV and just watch a few shows, like the discovery channel and the learning channel and Futurama, The Simpsons, Malcom in the middle, and the movie channel. but I know I would get addicted and watch it all the time. Also you can't just pick out channels you would like to get, you get the whole package.
