I'll admit that when I realized we wouldn't have cable during our stay in Tennessee, I imagined Chris staring at the TV screen, gently rocking back and forth, weeping quietly.
Turns out, he's done much better than that and I'm proud of him.
To be honest, I think that not having a TV has helped us because when we are home, we are mostly sleeping. If we had cable, we'd spend time watching when we should be sleeping.
We do get one channel: ION. It has some of the worst cop shows ever, but after a few episodes, you become numb to it all and it's not so bad.
There's also the RedBox which he visits a couple times every weekend.
Fortunately, the wifi is good enough that we can stream online videos through Youtube and Amazon Prime, so he's been able to keep up with The Blacklist. We've also been watching the Sopranos on Prime. Still a great show all these years later.
Confession: once we finish up here, my dream would be to move to a nice campground a bit further south and spend about a week just sitting in front of the TV.
Maybe Chris isn't the only one with a problem.
We watch very little tv, but we recently changed cable providers and now HBO is free. Suddenly the tv has become much more of a focal point around here. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing... ~rr
