Have You Ever Participated in TV Turnoff Week?

I only watch Bones on TV and conan when he's on so my TV doesn't get used much.

I answer an emphatic no. I'm on track to earn my BA magna cum laude, my social life, nor my work life suffers, I exercise regularly--even with all the TV I watch (which is a lot). Television has become a scapegoat for those who choose to blame their ill health and sedentary lifestyle on anything other a lack of personal responsibility. People don't need to stop watching TV, they need to change their diets and invest in running shoes and a yoga mat.

I agree with Phil. TV is not the problem in most cases.

Besides, if I turned off the TV for a week, I'd just be catching up online the next week, anyway.

I would NEVER! lol.... that makes me sad.

This is rediculous... although sometimes parents need to be stricter with their children's TV viewing.

Never have and Never will. I think I would really die from television withdrawal if I did.

Nope, nor would I. I'm with Phil on this one.

Why is it always during the week when the shows come back for their final string of episodes? ...Not that I could possibly do it anyway, but still.

Never heard of it.

Is it 'TurnOff The TV Week' advertised on TV?

: R O T F L :

exactly my thoughts, kaykayelle!

Doesn't watching tv with family count as spending time with family? I mean you talk and watch, it's not as though you sit in silence

I dunno.. I only watch Chuck/Heroes that my parents record for me weekly. Maybe a movie once a week from Redbox or something, but all in all we have less than 4 hours of Tv a week at our house anyway. In the summer we're too busy outside to watch very much. I put netflix on hold til September. Except for the damn max and ruby dvd my 4 year old keeps on repeat. UGh. I hate Ruby, she's so bossy!

It would be impossible. i'm already behind on my TV watching! haha.

nope never did, not gonna.

i agree - obesity isn't caused by TV!

No Way!
I prolly should, but no.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV--only 4 or 5 shows all week--so I don't think I NEED to do this.

This is the first I've ever heard of it! So no, I have nor participated in the past. I wouldn't have a problem with it though -- but I would double my tv time the next week by watching everything I DVR'd during the Turnoff week. So it seems like sort of a moot point.

no, and i'm not gonna. nobody's taking my shows away from me.

I've never heard of it though I think it might be interesting to try

No because TV is my friend and I would never turn my back on a friend.

Kids, I made it through law school watching the insane amount of TV that I watch. I'm happily married and read A LOT. There is no reason to ignore my lovely TV.

I guess I could turn off the TV but I can't turn off my cell phone (my only connection to my family and I live in FL...alone with no friends... and they all live in NJ or other parts of FL) and i Need my computer because I'm taking my Masters online and my research paper is due Sunday.... yeah kinda don't wanna fail this month... hahah
