LOL. I don't know about this, but hey if it works for some why not. But I think I prefere the real thing to tv.

it also cure boredom, fear of boogieman, baldness and stuff...

Umm... Duh? O_o This is common sense that it's a possible substitute for human interaction (hence why people aren't as fond of reruns). However, it's not as satisfying because the characters are obviously not interactive. I mean, don't tell me your invitation to Ross & Rachel's wedding just got lost in the mail...

Not true. If anything, TV is one of the leading causes of stuff. Watch enough TV and soon you'll be neck-deep in stuff without any knowledge on how you got it. It just accumulates over time thanks to the cancerous waves of TV.

Clinical studies have shown that for every household, 9 out of 10 residents have spent hours and hours of Sunday mornings attending rehab via codgery parental intervention trying to eliminate the amount of stuff in their lives. Dusting, sweeping, mopping, and other home remedies have been tried, but only seem to offer a temporary reprieve from the sickness. Some experts say leaving your primary residence and looking at a tree helps with the disease, but it's never been proven.

TV doesn't cure stuff, it causes stuff.

Well, I couldn't agree with this more, the part about it being better than any pet being the one part I doubt since I remember how wonderful that was.
When I was in school and sports, I was always around either people too busy to hang out or who were complete idiots, who did a lot more damage to my brain than TV ever could in 30 lifetimes. Thanks to TV, I no longer have a sense of loneliness and I could care less what anyone thinks about me.

I read this title as "Cure can Cure Loneliness".

Anyway, I'm not really surprised. I spent my childhood in front of a television since I was rejected at school a lot. Escaping from reality and those harsh realities was just that easy for me. Getting involved with stories and dramas that could easily be resolved and weren't a part of your own life was just a quick remedy to the poison.

You know what else cures loneliness? Going outside and talking to someone.

But I can agree with this. TV (and the video games that can go with it) cured my loneliness for a long time. Then college came and that kind of forced interaction with others helped cure my fear of socialization.

For real, son. I've never been into TV very much, but in the past 5 years, it's pretty much ceased to exist for me.

It should be noted that 4 out of the last 5 years have been sweet.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-04-2009, 06:10 PM

I gotta' somewhat agree. The only things I still watch are Adult Swim (can get online), Conan (hiatus), and The Simpsons. That's really pretty much it now.

**GK Punk** · 05-04-2009, 06:22 PM

Yeah there's so few shows I watch anymore, and pretty much all of them can be seen online. Although, I do leave the TV on while I sleep but it's almost always TMNT toons or Masters of the Universe, both on DVD.

Same here, only with me it's educational stuff, the TMNT movies, and Batman TAS/DCAU shows (along with a DVD set of Cowboy Bebop soon, hopefully).

Oh, and youTube...if it even counts.

My TV is for video games and DVDs. TV series only exist to push products and there's so few good ones it's just not worth my time. I never watch it. I can see how it works for some people but those are the ones that care about what color Brad Pitt dyes his hair or when Hannah Montana is on her period.

My mom is like that and she drives me insane. The one time she was like "oh did you know Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie with Jennifer Aniston". Then shes always calling this one girl that has 8 babies insane.
