No TV Day (every last Saturday of the month)

[Deishi]

---

Well, I never really give a thought about a 'No TV Day' since I'm really a TV addict and yes, I'm one of those many people who would say that could not live without the television.

But catch has a point that instead of watching the television you can use your time travelling that's if you have the budget because if only i have that much then i would not waste my time on Saturdays watching nonsense.

Since Lenten season is coming up, I abstain myself from watching movies on DVD. That could be a start of it. I'll try my hardest though.


A 'No TV DAy' could also help in conserving energy. Wonder what it's like if people all over the world would simultaneously not watch TV!

ive never really heard of such a non-legal holiday here in the Philippines when everyone is banned from watching televisions at home or anywhere else. if you can google this up, some parts of the world are actually participating in such a community-based holiday and i would like to propose for one.

my reasons?

i had enough with both watching and listening about quarrels on TV ratings, biased or one-sided stories (news), overrated soap operas, dubbed animations, (very) late night shows, politics, same 'ol actors and actresses, lame game shows, and everything else.

if you look at it closely, we spent a number of hours just by watching televisions and not realizing that there are "things" that needs more attention which is very close to us, say, our family. im not only going to involve about family here but also with the people who are with us, as another example. my point is, why not go out and travel with the family or friends, start a (new) hobby, learn something new, do something extraordinaire, or simply do anything to kill time.

this may be a one-sided opinion but i welcome you to say anything you want and, at least, realize what you have been missing while you are watching the television.

now, the question: would you spend just for one day in every month (or once a year) by not watching television?

game ko ani...basta lang di ma wala ang internet payts na...mas importante nako maka sulod istorya.net kay sa mu watch ug TV...

permi naman ko no tv.. hahahah.. la ko time watch na ordinary shows.. id rather sleep.. but u are right, we spend so much time sa tv when we can spend that time doing something else.. hahahah

This is actually a brilliant idea. I think television is one of the reasons why family members are drifting away from each other. Besides, you don't really missed anything important by not watching television.
