I watch TV literally all the time, and the resulting rot of my brain from the absorption of commercial messages has basically left me unable to think for myself.
However, I am very entertained! Why just last week I laughed heartily at the humor in sex role stereotypes offered by the programme "Everybody Loves Raymond". Family disputes are also such a wonderful source of comic humor. It's best when they simmer just below the point of physical violence. There is often mild sexual innuendo involved as well, which brings about the possibility of other comic situations. What fun!
OK, enough of that. I would never get the Comcast digital cable simply because Comcast are stinking whores and their anti-dish advertising is sleazy to the point where it makes me nauseous. I've heard that digital cable makes it harder to click around and you're forced instead to rely on their program guides. The only person I know who got it was unhappy with it.
Instead, we got a TiVo. Now this approach is tons more expensive in every single way. But I am one of those "early adopters" who buys stuff for too high a price when it first comes out, paying for the development costs for the rest of you people.
With TiVo, there is no need for the extra channels that digital cable gives you, because suddenly your choices open up to every single program available during the week, at any time convenient for you, easy as pie. Enjoy "The Osbournes" but hate the idea of watching MTV? Hell, I didn't even know it was ON MTV. TiVo doesn't tell you; it just reminds you gently that, just in case you were interested, it has saved this program for you, which you can watch at any time, skipping past the commercials. Or if you prefer, you can safely ignore the show, until TiVo finds more and better things for you to watch as time goes by.
It's 2am and you have a Simpsons hankering? It's on there...
