This puzzles me in the light of the other thread on TV. Justin doesn't watch TV at all. I watch it in fits & starts (never a complete show or movie) when one of the features of my depression (inability to read) hits. And all three of us have an equal basis for making the judgment that "most people would flip the channel." That is not the sort of thing that watching tv 70 hours a week would enable you to make, or that never watching tv would prevent you from making.
