I really dislike the male necessity to have a TV or a screen on in the house ALL THE TIME!! My personal theory is that men are powered by the rays that emit from TV screen/PC monitor and its why they feel the need to have one turned on, even when they arent watching, in the same room or even in the house!
When I was part of a couple I was often turning a TV off due to lack of a male presence in the room, but the first thing they say when they come back in, is "who turned off the TV?"
And I cannot sleep when there is a TV on in the bedroom :(
I can't sleep when there's a light on anywhere in the house (which includes the TV.)
I find I'm turning on the TV less now that we have the converter box on it...it takes two remotes (to power the box and change channels, Remote 1, and to turn on the TV and control volume, Remote 2.) I watch two "regular" shows (usually, not fanatically) and used to watch PBS's "Mystery" when it was a series I liked. Now it appears to be gone forever, and since the PBS stations went digital they no longer show the British comedies I watched sometimes. It's easier to look at weather online than to mess with two remotes.
