22. Good question

Sounds like you may be better off without it. I realized, a while back, that I never watched TV (I'm not averse to all TV programming and I know I've missed some quality shows, but have just not watched it in a long time and, yeah, most of it's junk) and so I canceled that part of my cable service. Didn't miss it at all...well, yeah, like, duhhhhh, given that I literally hadn't watched it in a couple or three years. I do watch my television an awful lot, but only when it's playing the DVDs that I watch by the truckload on my downtime and when I'm working on tedious projects that keep me static for a while.

I bet you won't miss it. And check your local public library for their DVD holdings.
