I stopped watching TV in 2013 because I would get hooked on shows and I didn’t want them to control me any more. Stargate for example: I had to watch every episode. I didn’t like that. I started getting hooked on “In the Universe” type shows – even though they weren’t telling me any science I didn’t know already. I had to watch them all. I didn’t like getting that way with shows. Nowadays with Netflix and stuff it’s encouraged — and I dont’ think it’s a bad thing for most people either then or now. But for myself, I wanted to see what I’d do without it.
