Find out!
Just don't let it get to you. I haven't watched TV in about five years now, although I do check out some of the things it has to offer (even if it's only just distraction).
But I fully agree. TV and especially the commercials are a royal waste of time. A regular person loses almost 3 weeks of their lives per year, watching commercials. Not to mention the makers of commercials who lose most of their time making them. A country like America with 250 million people wastes a good 700 million weeks per year (not counting babies, but toddlers already watch commercials). So all in all America loses millions of years in just a year's time and that is only America. We could sure spend that time better, but I don't think shooting ourselves would be that much better!

Because Television hasn't anything of quality viewing in a very long time. Reality Television has dumbed down the viewing audiences. Television programmers aren't able to try anything new, but are really good of copying what other stations have on. I have longed for some time for the studios to produce quality science-fiction, mysteries, or even to produce the collected works of popular authors. Such as Harry Turtledove, Anne McCaffrey, Nora Roberts, Nora Roberts as J.D.Robb, Lilian Jackson Braun, to name a few.
News channels are mainly about people who have a attention span of a 6 year old, and can't seem to give enough details on the storylines to make it worthwhile to view the news and current events.

television in general is getting horrible.... just sit on the internet all day and do nothing like some people do.... just go outside and relax in the sun or something (unless it's night time). Stay away from the TV for a while.... listening to the radio drives me nutz... but I'm in a truck for 10 hours... so I'm stuck....

television is a mass hypnotist. your brain produces zeta brain waves when you are watching it, zeta brain patterns are normally seen when someone is REM dreaming. basically it turns your head off. All governments are quite happy that the majority of thier population goes home and switches on the idiot box. they dumb us down and keep us docile. passivity means that they can abuse us ever so subtley and quietly. we awake in the morning and go to work keeping busy again. governments love a busy public because if we had time to think we might come up with a better way:)

Do what I do...don't watch that crap...I don't watch the news because it caters to media bullcrap and usually stretches the truth...I think commercials are stupid and make me want to buy their stuff less...I have a satellite and I can watch whatever I want without the mess. I wont watch anything that my kids can't watch.

Umm, I think you're mixing your threats of bodily harm. Shoot yourself in the head or slit your throat. Shooting yourself in the throat will likely leave you able to see and hear the tv but with no voice to yell back at it.
