My tv is broke at the moment but I couldnt care less. I was gonna buy a new one but now im thinking I'll just live without it and see what happens. Has anybody given up their television and if you have did your life get better? Thanks

I only bother to own a TV when I am living with someone else. When I am living alone, I don't keep one around.
There are a few programs I enjoy when I do have a TV set, but I can't really say that I miss them when I don't.
In fact, I almost find it annoying at times when my boyfriend has it turned on. I think I really enjoy life a lot more without that irksome squawk-box, .

Yes I threw mine out when george bush was re elected,never did anything better or more freeing in my life.I find I read more and accomplish much more,than I ever did before.Give it a try you just might like it.I find as much news and other diversions on my computer,but i spend much less time than I did when I had "THE DEVIL BOX" LOL Plus I don't have to listen to,or look at those self-important,self centered newsheads.

I put the news on in the morning while I'm getting ready for work so I can catch the weather and traffic reports. Other than that, I don't watch tv.
My life got better in that I lost some weight. Instead of sitting in front of the boob tube eating snacks, I read books like crazy. I can't eat while my hands are busy holding a book!

I gave up watching TV many years ago, and I found more rewarding and interesting things to do with my time. There is actually a pretty large movement regarding how awful television is for our health, our society, our relationships, etc. Check out: http://www.tvturnoff.org/

I gave it up about 3 years ago but my wife still watches it. I became hard of hearing and could not hear it anymore. Yes I think life is better once you find something else to do, I read a lot every night.

I wasn't that much of a TV watcher in the first place
I would think that it would force a person to find something else to do if all of a sudden the TV messed up(that is if it was their main form of entertainment)

no, nor am I planning to,
I'd like to stay in touch with real world issues and I limit my reality tv show time,
television is educational if you're watching the right stuff
