Gary, I meant nothing personal from my post. If that is how it struck you, then please accept my apology.

I agree about the shows currently on the TV. A couple of years ago I saw an advertisement about a show about people and animals getting racked up/mauled, etc in accidents and by other animals. That did it for me, and I have not had an active TV in my home since.

TV insidiously influences every aspect of our lives. We would all be better off without it.

That is one of the reasons my TV alternates between the Sun News Channel, Turner Classic Movies, and the nearest MeTv station in Bellingham, they actually play things I want to watch. I've also been watching some foreign programing like Japanese and older British programs online, some of the newer British TV is just as bad as American TV.
Regards
Arran
