I haven't had cable for years either. Every once in awhile if I'm at someone's house and it's on, it reminds me of how stupid it is for people to pay for TV. The irony is that back when cable was new, it was touted as "now you'll be able to watch whatever you want without commercials." How long did that last? Now you pay for TV and get the commercials too!
My father used to call TV the "boob tube".
