I'm a dumb-ass too then - I love television. You'd have to be missing a
sense of humour not to appreciate TV comedy of some sort, whether it's
the overrated Fawlty Towers or the underrated Father Ted, how anyone can
simply dismiss all TV as mindless is beyond me. (And of course there's
the obligatory mention of quality documentaries, blah blah blah...)

(TV) Highlight of the Week: Harry Hill's TV Burp. Meta-TV!

Well it's not that surprising to me, call me a dumb-ass (or a victim of
the modern times if you want to be polite), but to be honest i would be
sad without a TV at my house. It's not i watch it a lot (around 1 and 2
hours at night mostly), but i enjoy some TV shows a very lot. And at
this point, with two babies on board and no chance to go out to the
movies, gigs, etc. my TV is like solid gold!

In most countries worldwide, Gallup finds that people who have a


television in their homes also express higher well-being and
optimism

than do those without TVs in their homes.
