All-
One of my students found this video on YouTube and showed a bit of it recently
during a discussion of trauma and responses to it. I asked the class to view
the whole thing outside of class. It just focuses on the devastation but there
are a few interviews - a very powerful video (over 15

I just wanted to agree that getting rid of TV is probably the only way
to take control of the family back. We (family of four) have been
without TV for about 2 years, and on dramatically restricted TV (PBS
only) for 2 years before that. I agree that the fist couple of months
are difficult, for

How we say it has nothing to do with whether or not it is a chunk.
What matters is whether or not it is a meaningful unit in LTM, as your
own examples illustrate. As the year in which Wundt established his
Psych lab, 1879 is probably a meaningful chunk for most of us. For the

I just tuned in grin to this discussion, so forgive me if I'm
repeating things, but...
I got rid of television in January of 2002, at the beginning of a
sabbatical, simply because I didn't want to waste my sabbatical
watching the thing. I thought I'd get a new set at the end of the
sabbatical,
Not much professional relevance here, but if I may chime in:
If you choose your shows judiciously and watch them only after
recording them (with a VCR or TiVo), you won't see any commercials and
you won't waste any time. This system has served me well, day after
day, for at least 15 years.
OK I'm convinced! Comcast will be getting a call today to cancel all! I
will honestly admit that I will still rent DVD's from time to time. But
that's so much more of a conscious choice of use of time versus using TV
as background/company. I suspect as a result I will significantly

I know I'm in a minority, but I enjoy junk TV. I like the
decision-making used in Deal or No Deal (and the greed) and I've become
interested in Studio 60. I also admit to liking the various iterations
of Law and Order and a few other shows. So, I'm a TV junkie and I use it
for aimless relaxation.
I think it could run on cable!
