I much prefer my PC to a TV. The main reasons are -

1. There are too many murders every day that we must witness in the name of entertainment, turning it into such a common occurance as to make it almost acceptable to murder.

2. American Mills & Boon type TV films are so sickly sweet that they make me cringe.

3. News programs are never about the UK, but only the rest of the world. There's nothing wrong with knowing what's happening around the world but not to the exclution of our national news.

4. Sensational TV journalism is so rife. There are so many scandels which are pounced on by the TV media and milked for all they are worth.

5. New good comedy is very scarce. Sport is scarce unless you can afford Sky TV.

Is TV going the way of Cinemas?

I can chat to people on my PC!
I can read a book on my PC!
I can do a jigsaw on my PC!
I can watch a film or TV program on my PC!
I can listen to my favouite music or radio station on my PC!
What do I need to put a TV on for? 

Ah!! Barry, Could not Agree more!!  Is this a sign of getting olde like us ??
Why does murder and crime have to be the highlight of our lifes infomation??  As for The news?? while talking about the far east, there is not much time to talk about our own problems -- of which there are many!! As for the so called comedy ??  What a joke!! can you really have a good 'belly laugh' as we used too, NO!! it's mostly slapstick!!
Don't forget?? This is progress = Yuk!!
We are of the 'Older Generation' that have known Quality!!

Hello Mac, Friends, Relatives can be soo close with our computers. A real boon, as we get older and older. Don't we feel so much better after a chat  LOL!!

Mac,  Are you saying that some people do not Listen, or even Reply ?

Nooooo Phoenix
I am saying there is always someone there who will read it and even reply,like a friend.

Hi Chris,it isnt being taken over by anyone,its the powers that be who do the programs.
Gay or not gay i am sick of Little Britain and two pints of lager,and the dam soaps ! sorry to all of you who watch soaps I find them boring and not true to life in anyway except when the girl of 13 in corrie had a baby and it was acceptable.......I stopped watching it then,and she had another at 16 ? I give up.
Murder,incest,fornication,etc etc do we need it in our faces.
NO I AM NOT A PRUDE 

I REFUSE TO CALL THESE PEOPLE GAY, GAY IS A WORD THAT MEANS HAPPY AND CHEERFUL.
I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT THESE PEOPLE GET THE BEST JOBS ON TV, I DONT WTCH MUCH TV FOR THE SIMPLE REASON, I CANT SEE IT VERY WELL, BUT I DO LIKE MASTERMIND, EGG HEADS, UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE. COOUNTDOWN.AS   LONG AS PEOPLE ARE NOT MOVING AROUND I CAN WATCH  TV.

Egg Heads!!! Thats a great program, but I dont get to see it very often as when it is on its dinner time, and TV is switched off when we are eating.
