| 76. Well, I suppose I could buy a TV to watch the Simpsons... |
|
...and dedicate a whole room in my house to the TV. Or.....maybe I could find some other way to use my time and money.
In all the years the Simpsons has been on the air I've seen it exactly one time. It was OK. Maybe it was even "art". My point is: There's plenty of other stuff out there to compete with the few things on TV that aren't horrible. Even the so called "good stuff" on TV is interrupted with advertisements every few minutes. And those advertisements are probably for products of dubious value.
All in all, it's not worth having around (and certainly not worth paying for).
