The box is back since two years, but I hardly watch tv nowadays, my kids get 1/2 hour max and everybody is a lot more relaxed for it. Our Saturday nights are spent slooooowly cooking and eating, playing games, telling jokes and stories, relating experiences, all without some rectal aperture in the background telling us where it's at. I know the world is going to hell in a handcart, but my family sure isn't, not if I can help it.
Well I am not that far yet. I still enjoy the History Channel, The Soprano's and now Rome on HBO, Law and Order on any of the cable networks and The SciFi channel when I have the chance. Other then that I am normally playing a computer game, swimmng with my son, or just relaxing doing absolutely nothing. Except when I am at work that is. Been working 50+ hours a week for ever.
