I've never owned a TV, tho I had my brother's TV while he was overseas, around 1978, & watched some of the classic British comedies like Fawlty Tiwers!! (I might leave that typo in as it is authentic) & news shows for a few months till I got fed up with it as I wasn't able to do anything, like make dinner. The TV & kitchen were separated by a wall & if I wanted to watch the news, then the current affairs program, then 1 or 2 comedies I ate late. Stuff this I said & turned it off & got back to living (well my version of living, anyway).

Last TV I watched was 9 years when visiting my 2 year old nephew & we watched all the great kids shows - Bananas in pyjamas, Sesame street. We had fun.

I never got in the habit of TV as we didn't get one till I was 14, the same time I got a room of my own & started pretending to study & listening to my own radio & record player. I moved out when I was 24 & in that period saw some episodes of the classic US, UK & Aust programs of the 50, 60 & 70's so can hold my head up conversations.

But give me a radio & CD/tape player anyday
