It's not fool proof, because there are still good shows on ABC, NBC, and PBS, but in general, no cable keeps us from channel surfing and getting sucked in to a bunch of different series. We do NetFlix and, if there's something we really want to see that we can't get, we can see it at B's parents' house or on the internet, but we rarely do that since TV has moved lower and lower on the priority list for us. I find that I feel a lot better physically and mentally when I don't have TV on all the time and am not concerned with being home at a certain time for a certain show, you know? I feel like there's more solitude and peace in our home because of our no cable, no internet (except that which we occasionally steal from our un-password-protected neighbors) decision. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042225604102266574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14313954.post-66047700566657529182010-06-14T08:59:39.282-05:002010-06-14T08:59:39.282-05:00We don't do TV/electronics in the bedroom (exc...We don't do TV/electronics in the bedroom (except our noise machine). :) I'm all about my sleep, so it helps me keep it peaceful.<br />Good luck with the cutting back! We just do DVDs/online watching (no cable, etc.) now, and we really like it. Somehow, we still spend too much time watching, though. ha!Tiffany Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030610462498175664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14313954.post-26096316187335644562010-06-13T17:36:01.669-05:002010-06-13T17:36:01.669-05:00First of all, I'm glad I found your blog throu...First of all, I'm glad I found your blog through facebook. I love blogging and blog stalking so I'm excited to add you to my list! :) Secondly, we pulled the plug on cable entirely last year and are so glad we did. We still watch our shows (The Office & Chuck) online. We use Netflix. But when we had cable and DVR, it was constantly on. We had more shows that we had to watch and I would catch myself watching the bare essentials infomercial in the middle of the day while nursing L. What. In. The. World!?! For what it's worth, my vote is give the tv the boot from your room. Also, we went to Red Bar a few weeks ago and I thought about you and that spring break in Destin.

It's just a tv/dvd combo, so it's nice to watch movies in the bed sometimes. And our kids LOVE it when we say they can all pile in our bed together and watch a movie. <br />Love the zoo pics!Holly-- The Storm Chaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834342524567860800noreply@blogger.com
