You might like a poem I wrote called “TV Bubble” — a true story!

I passed three houses in a row,
The men like snakes charmed by the game.
The windows I jogged past would show
The footage on each screen the same.
One picture hung in many a mind,
And here I’ve just one trouble:
Since I don’t watch, I’ve been maligned
As “living in a bubble!”

Cool poem.  

Go to a nursing home years ago,  EWTN would be on most channels.

One more thought I had: this thread was starred 15 years ago, but since then, things have changed.  It seems that these days, television isn’t the main problem anymore.  Now it’s smartphones.

Morals in the US begin deteriorating greatly in the 50s. In the early forties only 1% of households had a television. By 1955 75% did. 

Go figure.

Good point. Android zombies abound.
