Television?An idiot box??

Back some time.... TV used to be one hell of a passtime and sometimes even addiction. I used to watch TV for 4-5hrs. but now, I just find it boring and dull with sooo many ads that I hardly watch half an hour and that too while lunch or dinner. The only shows worth watching are sports matches and Discovery/Animal Planet/National Geographic/History Channel shows and some movies. Otherwise 99% is BS. That serials are a real nuisance. Every serial has almost the same plot with lots of tears lolz. Movies cant be watched coz there is soo much ads. If I sit to have dinner and ads start, they will last till I am done with food . Coming to reallity shows.... Whats real in them ? Half of that is made up script. Talent Search shows..... sooooooo many talent search shows that you can hardly remember their names leave the participants'. So what do you guys say ? Is TV a waste of time now ? I say yes and strogly believe that internet and watching movies on PC is much better pass time (not counting gaming as its my passion ).

Well it sure is called the idiot box but it definitely isn't . Even if we say that we don't need a TV and we can go on without it- it's totally wrong.

Can you tell anything to support your statements?
How is a TV better than a comp?
Give facts to support your arguments.

Ah I didn't say that a Tv was better than a comp. I said we cannot stay without a Tv.
Proof: You have a computer right? Don't use the TV for 1 month. Let's see if you can do it.
