I watch "Bones", when it goes, I will probably just not watch anything. Just not much on "watching" TV. I am such an avid reader that it matters not. I am big on radio, some talk shows, some music. As you know, I'm on dial-up, not much interested moving up to anything else. Every thing in my life has become simple and stream-lined. I lack nothing and have become content in my old age. My health gives me problems and the word "chronic" has become my middle name relating to the word health. But I am blessed beyond measure. I also have had many lives in one, blessed in that also. I can also rattle on and on!:)

Been watching this English soap for 25 years. It's a matter of filtering out the crap and just enjoying the best TV has to offer, which is not much I have to agree.
I don't mean this as demeaning to anyone here, just an observation, but many people who want to discuss things on forums, to really understand and share and try to learn together are off the TV drug. Those who aren't tend to be confined to one or two shows, and unfortunately they still make bad decisions when it comes to things like prescription drugs and diapers.Diogenes wrote: YOU TOO?????????

I have not had a TV connection of any sort for many many years, 10 at least. I do have a TV and I watch some TV shows, but I don't see ads, I watch what I want when I want (mostly netflix), and I would never ever watch the news or read a newspaper. I can't even glance at newspaper headlines or I need to rant for half an hour.
It is a tough life, but someone has to do it.
Instead for instance, last night I played guitar all night. I am a (newer) chef and I spend many hours at night experimenting or inventing food items. I spend time with my soulmate and cats. I read. I play video games occasionally if I need to turn my brain off (no I don't play FPS heh). Yes, sometimes I even go on the internet although I work on it all day so I try not to.
