Haven't had cable for just over three years now. We bought a house and couldn't afford cable, now we could afford it if we wanted but we have turned into such cheapskates that I can't see paying $40 a month for something I've lived this long without.
Besides, using rabbit ears, I can get all the major networks plus PBS. PBS is great, kinda like a poor man's Discovery/Animal Planet/History Channel. I miss some of the more educational channels, miss CMT something fierce as it is great to have it playing in the background when helping out with the inside housework. Most of the series I can't see I can get on DVD and we are seriously considering NetFlix so I can watch old seasons of The Shield and Deadwood.
We watch quite a bit of TV, but I am usually reading a book and hitting the MUTE button when commericals come on. Really helps with my ADD.....lol.
We like most of the newer series........all three CSI-although New York is taking some getting used to and David Caruso is REALLy starting to get on my nerves, House is great just to see what he will do/say next, Lost is tied with Alias as my wife's favorite show, ER is a good fill in while folding laundry. Fall weekends are college football time. I actually sit down to watch while Alabama is playing, everybody else is background noise as are pro games on sunday.
