TV stress

I actually prefer TV shows to movies, because with TV shows there's the routine of seeing the same characters each time. With movies, I have to get to know new characters from scratch, each time I watch one.

I don't own a TV. It is too often a barrage of sensory chaos. :eek: Also, I prefer to be mindful in selecting what my mind's consumption will be. If I wish to enjoy a nature or science documentary, or laugh at a good comedy, there are always online options. :)

I'm very selective in what I watch too. I love nature and science documentaries myself. But, I also love watching the old time black and white episodes like the Lone Ranger, The Rifleman and Superman especially. I do like to watch the news. But this new garbage they call good I never watch. I hate most of the episodes that have come along since color TV. And yes I was around when companies came out with the color TV. I got quite a collection of horror and science fiction movies as well that I watch on my computer and like you I also watch a lot of stuff on You Tube including movies, nature and science. So we have some things in common.

Same here. I hate the fact that the TV interrupts to show commercials all the time. I hate commercials - they are "a barrage of sensory chaos" as Warmheart describes it.

I sometimes watch sci fi series such as Star Trek or Doctor Who, a film or comedy, but mainly I watch documentaries. I prefer to be informed rather than entertained.

A nice collection of DVDs helps against television commercial fatigue.

There are about 500 movie titles available in this drive alone in fairly sharp resolution.I have a stack of DVDs that I could hide behind plus stream around the clock...if I hear about something on TV and I am interested enough,I can find it missing all the commercials :D
