I've got to say that I really respect this attitude. I can get sucked into the TV for hours on end, a hypnotized couch potato, and I hate it. It doesn't matter if I'm watching movies, documentaries, or the news, it's the same effect. I would love to live without a TV someday, but I doubt it would ever be possible. It's such a mainstay in today's culture that it's almost unavoidable. There's a ton of information available exclusively on TV that I'd really miss without access to it. But I can't say that it's worth wading through the filth and stupidity that pervades modern entertainment in order to get to it.
I'm still living at home with Mom and Dad, so I don't have any control over the presence of a TV now. But I'll be moving out soon, probably this fall, and I'll have to make this decision for myself. I hope that I can take a stand as bold as yours on this issue. It really shows strength of character.
