I certainly enjoy watching a bit of television, but think it is definitely possibly to have too much of a good thing. Watching free tv over-the-air is the perfect compromise between giving up tv entirely and paying for hundreds of channels.

Growing up my mom never let me watch more than one hour of television per night.
She literally forced me to read; to play sports; to hang out with friends; to socialize; and to get out of the house. She hated television and she didn’t want me to become a couch slouch and waste hours aimlessly watching what she called “the boob tube”.
Moms always know best, don’t they?
