Your point is well taken however. I don't watch a lot of television, but I have sometimes found myself staring at it mindlessly when I sat down in front of it. I couldn't even tell you what I was watching. My husband and I have taken to turning it off when neither of us is actively watching a show. Instead we turn on music or the radio, especially <a HREF="http://www.issuesetc.org" REL="nofollow">Issues, Etc.</a>, a very fine Christ-centered, cross-focused talk show that makes me think. They have interesting guests, too, such as one Rev. Scott Stiegemeyer who writes one of my favorite blogs. ;-) I had to laugh when I saw this post that followed on the heels of your post about 24, just as I had to laugh AT your post on 24.

Actually, although I always watch it, I view mostly comedy, usually the older shows. Too much drama in real life to watch it all night as well. I prefer the family-oriented shows – like 24.
