When I was little I thought I could die if I didn't have my tv. Now I think I can manage a week maximum. How about you? How many days you can do without your favorite shows?

Days?? How about hours? WEll TV is a big part of my life. But I could not watch it...never mind. I couldn't live without it. I am going camping next week so I guess I'll be able to survive without it....and my computer. But if I am home I don't miss a day watching it.

Camping is so nice that you will forget about computer and tv. I think the worst would be do not have TV or computer while we are at home. Like the tv and the PC are broken. Thanks for your answer!

I don't watch much tv so I may be able to do without it all together. I mainly watch it when it's time to go to bed. It puts me to sleep. Unless there is something going on in the world real important that I think I need to know about on the news. Then I watch.

I am jealous of you! My life is quite boring right now since I am unemployed, so TV is a good distraction. Thanks for answering!

I had my cable disconnected for about two and a half months. I didn't like it, but I could deal. The hardest part for me was that they disconnected my highspeed internet, too.

When I'm on vacation, I don't really even think about TV at all. In the summer I don't watch it regularly because all my favorite shows are in repeats anyway. When the new episodes are being shown, I don't like to miss them, but will if I have other plans (that's what VCRs are for, right?) There are only 2 or 3 shows that I watch every week; the rest of the time, I just watch TV because I am bored or too tired to do anything else. Honestly, I think if I no longer had a TV I would probably get a lot more done and be in better shape, too. :-)

When I was young, I couldn't live without t.v. either. But now I have only a few shows and they only air once a week. What I can't live without is cable t.v.There are movies I can see, sports, and shows.So there are so many choices.

Before I though I could not manage if I could not watch television, that television is already a part of my life, but when I came to work here in Isabel, Leyte, I dont have any television in my room. I was uncomfortable and I dont know how to spend my time without television, I read books, I exercise, play badminton, and even sleep early. I have manage anyway and didnt watch for 3 weeks but once I knew my next room officemates who have television in their room, I watch television in their room after work during the night time. Now I have time to watch jumong, but my new favorite show is marimar in GMA channel seven. my neighbors television dont have cable so I cant watch cartoon network nor cinemax nor hbo. I can only watch two channels either ABS-CBN or GMA.

Well I could manage a couple of weeks without tv. I just like to listen to music when I'm bored. When I want to hear news, I could go for the radio. So, I think I could manage without tv.

When I was younger we didn't use to have TV but even now I don't watch too much. I could go with out it for probably a couple of months, I have done for much longer years ago.

I can live without TV all the time except when there's any interesting footbal event. I like to listening to the music much more then watching TV.
