What I don't miss the most

Sometimes when I have free time I just sit and think. Since we don't have television, I don't have the option of just "vegging" out on the couch watching TV. And I definitely think this is a good thing.

Of all the television shows I remember watching, the ones I miss the least are talk shows. Some of them were reasonable in their content, like Oprah or Montel Williams. But the Jerry Springer show in particular was a total circus. It was purely for entertainment, not informational at all. I mean, requiring a DNA test to confirm your baby's father is bad enough, but some of these women came back on the show over and over to get more men tested. Do we really need to see this??

Worse still, is that these shows are on in the daytime, when small children are home with their mothers. I certainly don't want my children to think this is normal behavior. Anyway, I'm still content without TV. This month marks one continuous year and we are still going strong!
