I also used to have a 57" big screen TV and it took up so much space that I replaced it with a projector that sits in a closet when not in use for movies. I agree with your #6 response.

I agree; no brainer. Let's assume that you watch 2 hours everyday; that equals 18.25 40hr work weeks every year. Many folks watch more than that. 2. I agree. If ads do not influence your decisions then your mind is also strong enough to make you levitate. 3. I agree. When you watch TV then you are informed of what show will be on later in the day or week thereby creating a desire to watch more TV, hence less productive time. 4. I don't know. I've never had a TV in my bedroom during my adult life. Primarily because research convinced my that a bedroom is for sleeping & just a couple of other things. 5. same as #4 6. If every hour spent watching TV was turned in to just time staring at the wall, then I believe your mental health would increase. It's a hard habit to break. Cancel the cable subscription for starters. 1. I agree; no brainer. Let’s assume that you watch 2 hours everyday; that equals 18.25 40hr work weeks every year. Many folks watch more than that.
