I would literally feel ill watching it, I would notice that half the time I was not even watching it (just sitting there staring), I would feel drained just by being the same room, and I noticed I would go into these zombie states like hypnosis. There is much fear relate things within the frequency of TV. I do not own a TV.

I simply do not have the time to waste watching TV. If I want a movie night, the library has lots of free movies to borrow. News and weather I can get off the internet.

In the last three years watching TV has become obsolete to me, mostly because of the stupid content and annoying advertisings. I don't know when my TV was "on" the last time, maybe two months or more. I really don't miss it and i don't miss any of the stuff that is advertised all day long. To me it seems watching TV makes people plain stupid - my neigbours and co-workers are, in some aspect, comparable to Beavis and Butthead.
