Television Confessional...

I have a confession:

For the past 2 months, He-Man and I have been conducting an experiment. We have taken the television out of our home. Basically, this means that the kids get to watch DVDs and videos and if there is anything we want to watch, we schedule it and watch it on the computer. This has benefited us in so many ways...and hopefully this means it will encourage me to hunker down and begin writing on a more consistent basis.

That being told, there is a show that I watch and LOVE!!!! I have decided that the show 'Samantha Who' is my very favorite show. I love it. It's so funny! I haven't seen every episode but the ones I am able to watch crack me up almost constantly. So, hopefully, it will stay fun and not digress into becoming a gross, filthy show that I won't feel guilty about watching. I will keep you posted. In the mean time, if you want 22 minutes of girlie fun, check it out!

I LOVE Samantha Who. I always hope the same thing. I am a little worried right now. I hope they don't turn it sluty. Christina Applegate cracks me up. She does such a great job.

trish, this is how it was when you were growing up, right? i remember Joey wailing about this situation in class. :)
i think no TV is a good idea. especially when you get download shows off the internet that are worth watching!

Many years ago we had a "TV Free Summer." We actually took it out of our entertainment center and put a vase of artificial flowers there instead. I have to admit that we spent a ton more time as a family just hanging out and talking and stuff instead of all staring at the TV.

However, that was years ago and I don't think I could do that again. We love Zach and Cody and Hannah Montana :)

For money reasons, we removed TV several months ago. I've been periodically putting it up to watch movies, but it's actually been quite nice being hooked up to regular programs. I certainly am able to keep an eye on what the kids watch.

I'll have to go check out this show, though. I can certainly use some girlie fun.
