I only watch tv shows that I download now. I watch the news and get scared about things that may never affect me. I watch ads and want things I would never need. There's reality shows that are anything but real showing people I have no interest in knowing about. Tv can be limiting to what will sell ads for the network. I prefer to seek out what I enjoy and I am much happier not watching television stations. A few television shows actually began my path to awakening. Just as with everything in life-keep the balance.
