Re: what we're watching (NJC)

I have difficulty understanding people who reject TV entirely. If you use it
as entertainment in the same way as when you bring home a video, what's the
difference? Commercials are easily avoided by taping and watching later.
Otherwise the mute button works just fine. The production quality of the
best shows on TV is comparable to many a commercial-run movie. And how often
do you bring home an educational video that shows you real worlds you'll
probably never experience, the way TV does on channels like Discovery? I've
been to the depths of the ocean and to the top of Everest vicariously.

Certainly there are a large number of lowest common denominator-type shows
on TV but, you know. someone somewhere watches and enjoys them.
