Or, if you're poor like me, DVR.
Same basic thing, just not as nice. :oops:

I signed off of reality shows (only watched two of them) last year and I honestly feel liberated. They enslaved my time and, worst of all, my emotions.

On Demand or DVR. skip thru the commercials and junk. AI takes about 15-20 minutes to watch now, rather than sitting in front of the tube for 60.
Let the wild rumpus start!

Sleep is highly overrated. :lol:

Seriously: I do NOT work well in silence. Not sure where I developed the (bad?) habit, but I do much better with a radio or TV going to provide background noise. I have a nice little flat screen LCD TV on my desk and it runs in the background while I work. There's some Law & Order rerun on now.

Yea! I'm not the only one that needs noise in the background to work. I think I developed the habit growing up, there were 5 kids, dogs, lots of cats, friends of all the kids , cousins and my loveable, crazy father. There was no privacy or quiet in our home. The TV is on at home whenever I am there even if I am reading (I read 2 - 3 books a week).

Don't have time for any of them and in my oponion they have taken TV watching to an all time low. my 2 cents
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

I understand about the need for noise. I too have that need. I do have some "noise" going on while I work....I just don't have access to a tv.
It is one of the characteristics fo a sanguine to need that. That is why some kids get better grades when they are allowed to have a radio, ipod , or tv on when they study.The need for communication with other humans is a big issue with Sanguines.

Having said that.....I still don't think I would choose "reality" tv which is generally not much reality.

I cannot understand the interest in "Amazing Race".....it just borders on the stupid pet trick type of thing to me.

But then we aren't all so sophisticated in our tastes....I like war movies.....now there is culture for you.
