Would You Give Up TV or Music?

[mikeyboy]

If you had to give up TV or music for the rest of your life, which one would you give up?

[booster11373]

Although it means missing good shows like Lost and The Sopranos throw the TV out the window.

[Fallon]

I can't live without music.<br />

[crb1]

I'd have to give up tv, just because I think I'd be much more productive without a tv around.&nbsp; It's easy to get into a show and wind up wasting an evening watching a bunch of stupid shows.

<p>Hard choice, but I'd go with giving up TV.</p>

[SinA]

i give up dave

[KennethC]

The only Television that mattered to me did Marquee Moon.

[Hottub]

<p>If it were not for sports (and maybe The Soprano's) I wouldn't watch TV at all. Gotta have the music.</p><p>I am basing this on giving up TV, and not the TV set. I still gotsta have my DVD's!</p>

[mendyweiss]

I think you all are lying

[A.J.]

I just spent a year without TV and music.&nbsp; It wasn't that awful.

Any show (other than sports) that you want to see on tv, is or will soon be available on dvd or the internet.</font></p>

[absinthe]

I was without TV for more than a year and it wasn't that bad, but I am moving into a place with free cable in 2 weeks so my opinion may change when I can again see Futurama, sports and Gargoyles again.

<p>TV for sure.&nbsp; I prefer R&amp;F to pretty much all television.</p><p>In college, I started dating a fella because he didn't have a TV and I extrapolated that he was an intellectual upperclassman, when in fact he had it stolen because he went out&nbsp;with his door unlocked and was an idiot.&nbsp;</p><p>I wish I could get those four years back.</p>

[Bill From Yorktown]

as long as I can still listen to R+F and O+A, I'd ditch music and keep tv.

[Bill From Yorktown]

guess I'm being literal that R+F is not music, so I can give up music and still keep them....

[landarch]

23 to 9 in favor of keeping music.&nbsp; Maybe it's because most everyone here listens to Rand F, hence owning&nbsp;and enjoying&nbsp;some sort of radio or other music-capable device.&nbsp; I started giving up TV about six years ago when I started to realize what drivel most TV had become.&nbsp; Since then, there are only a few shows that don't make me get up and leave the room.&nbsp; Jeopardy holds my attention for the full half hour, and Lucky Louie and the Family Guy make me laugh out loud.&nbsp; To me, the rest of it is just low-rent dog shit.

[Bill From Yorktown]

<p>they've completely muddied the water on this one</p><p>- downloading a tv show is ok if you give up tv?</p><p>- doesnt this mean that watching something on tivo is ok?&nbsp; if not what if I transfer my tivo to my pc - then it's ok?</p><p>- movies are ok, as long as we dont have the music track, even if we watch on a tv?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>way too many loopholes</p>

[fezident]

<p>I agree with Bill ^^</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People who claim &quot;they don't really watch TV&quot; are,&nbsp;very often, the same people who watch 4 hours of Football.&nbsp; In fact...some of these idiots actually buy the DVD set of the World Series from last year and watch all 20 hours of it a second time!&nbsp; </p><p>Still don't consider it &quot;watching TV&quot; though.</p>

[FreshJ]

If I have to give one up, I have to give up TV, but I will admit I actually am a multitasker and often watch tv, surf the net and sometimes even listen to music.&nbsp; Not that I get much out of the Tv, but yeah and this is assuming that I can still watch movies on occassion, not that I need tivo or other forms of Tv, but Movies are sometimes needed.<br />

[spot]

TV without a doubt. <br />

[ADF]

TV.&nbsp; I can just download any episodes of Rome or Reno 911 that I've missed, but I my trips into the city won't cut the provebial mustard without a few tunes emanating from my cell phone.<br />

[Fezticle98]

<p>I'd give up MTV. Haven't watched it in years.</p><p>Seriously, I'd have to keep the TV and ditch the music.</p>

TV is my wife and it's my life, but the Victrola stays. Music calms the savage man-boobs.<br />

[Gvac]

<p>I'd give up TV in a heartbeat.&nbsp; I barely watch it as it is, aside from the occasional &quot;Forensic Files&quot; or ball game.&nbsp; </p><p>Without music I'd be in the nut hut inside of a month.&nbsp;</p>
