Good luck Kevin it can be a hard habit to break. John Leamington Spa, England Finding the TV ‘Off’ switch is the best way, only switching on for specific programs that you want to watch.

It might be time to cut down some of the TV time. That might be a little hard for me, there are just some must-watch shows that I almost can’t afford to miss. :) But you’re right.

We first attempted a trial run of disconnecting our cable for 3 months and by the end of the test I was like a raving lunatic. I couldn't wait to get back to my favorite shows like 60 Minutes and other "investigative" programs. Our youngest son was only 3 at the time and just as I was about to begin watching my first program after the maddening lull he wanted to say something. I shushed him as quickly and loudly as I could so he would get the drift that daddy was more interested in television than his own son. My boy wasn't used to this and neither was my wife. An enthralled family discussion erupted and that was the end of our television viewing. This happened 12 yrs ago and I don't know how I would ever find the time to watch TV now. Hell, I shouldn't even be talking to you right now! I've got work to do! Thanks for a great post, John. Talk to you soon. Barry <code><em>That's a great story Barry.
