OMG what are hiding behind those aprons?

"Kid centered garbage that has to be screened"..do you ever have that one right...luvinlife offthegrid said:I like some tv. We don't have cable or a dish, just air channels. I get 3 PBS stations, which I really like. Local PBS, create, and world. We also get abc, NBC, CBS, fox, This, CW, and the weather version of the local station. Sometimes they play local college hockey. I have a few shows I watch. If nothing is on, I read or or surf byc and ss on my phone of hubby's iPad. Sometimes I'll play a bit of angry birds before bed. I don't feel we overdo it. Sometimes I wish I could have my choice of NHL games to watch, but every time I go to someone's house with cable I think the same thing- "there's just more of nothing on.". I might get hbo online for game of thrones this season, otherwise I'll rent it on neflix. I like that my son doesn't have ten channels of kid-centered garbage for me to have to screen. We will probably never get a dish.
Thanks! I love that my 6-year old son would rather watch "secrets of the dead" (archaeology or related) than a lot of other stuff. Of course, I do let him watch some stuff I can't stand that isn't too horrible, just so that he can have something to talk about with his peers. He's already so different than all if his friends- being off the grid so far out of town, and with his disorder. A little mainstream stuff won't kill him. Or me!MorelCabin said:"Kid centered garbage that has to be screened"..do you ever have that one right...luvinlife offthegrid said:I like some tv. We don't have cable or a dish, just air channels.

We actually rarely watch commercials because we have a DVR and usually record our shows ahead of time, so we can control when we want to watch a show, and not have to sit down at a certain time to watch it. There are so many educational shows out there, like MOdern Marvels, How It's Made, and so many cool shows on Discovery and History channel, etc. We also watch sitcoms just to laugh, because I think it's important to laugh in life and not take life to seriously. The kids don't watch much tv, maybe a little on the weekends, but it's mainly hubby and I watching tv at night.
