Do you own a television?

[mix]

Poll question: Do you own a television?

[Deja Q]

1. Yes. And when humans let me down, TV picked me back up.

TV is my friend.

Of course, that porn website is more than just a friend... :spray:

[ZombieHorde]

2. Yes, but I only use it to watch shows, watch movies, and play video games. nt

3. My dear mix...

I do own one...

But it doesn't own me...

:hi:

4. TV-free since 2007

[KamaAina]

5. Actually, no.

It belongs to the hotel in which I am presently "living". And it has a really sucky channel lineup, which got even suckier when one of the SF stations (CW affiliate) was replaced with a screen reading "Congratulations! You have a DISH 500." :eyes:

6. I don't own one myself, but when I'm in a hotel...I get sucked in quick.

[Bucky]

9. Ha!! Me too! It's cause we've totally lost our television-ignoring skills.

I'm a total TV addict, even though I don't have one. It's not cause I'm counter cultural; it's cause I'm 12-stepping away from it :rofl:

13. TV is seldom a satisfying experience for me for some reason, I feel like I've wasted time.

After binging for a few hours in some hotel, checking in on the zeitgeist, I always feel dirty, sad, and sometimes a little sick.

[Bucky]

15. Okay, at this point I have to ask you if you've ever had a long lost twin...

Get out of my head!!

[Common Sense Party]

22. I travel a great deal, and become a channel-surfing moron when I

get in my room at night. It's not that there's anything good on, it's that there are SO MANY choices.

We have a TV, but no cable or reception of any kind. It's just for watching DVDs and videos.

[MrSlayer]

7. Yes, several.

It is the 21st century after all.

[Bucky]

8. I pwned my television about 20 years ago and never looked back.

Well, except for Sunday nights when I visit my parents so I can watch Mad Men.

[T116]

10. Um, yeah. Several.

[BuelahWitch]

11. I own one but it's only used for DVD & VHS

I don't have cable so no TV.

[trof]

12. I own 6.

4 are rarely used.

[bigwillq]

14. Yes (nt)

[Mojambo]

16. Proudly. n/t

17. a militant

[femmocrat]

18. We have several.

Family room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms. One is always on!

[mix]

19. My mother has to sleep with it on. Bizarre.

[femmocrat]

20. I do too!

Can't fall asleep without the TV on very low volume.

[mix]

21. where does all that entertainment go, even while sleeping?

when i am around tv, my consciousness feels colonized

[Graybeard]

23. There is a great line in The Manchurian Candidate.

The original 1962 film. Lawrence Harvey says, "There are two types of people in this world. Those who, when entering a room, turn the television on, and those who turn it off." I still remember that even after almost 50 years, and I've always wanted to be the second type. But sorry to say I never was.

[Iggo]

24. Oops. I mean "Yes".

I forgot I'm half owner of the 54" in the living room here at my brother's house.
