<p>Are there any CCers out there that hate tv? I convinced my family to cancel our cable, and we have no antenna so we therefore have no channels. I love it.</p>
<p>I need to a roommate that will not bring a tv.</p>
<p>*** is wrong with you??</p>
<p>sunday night
simpsons -> war at home -> family guy -> american dad -> curb your enthusiasm
solid 2 and a 1/2 hours</p>
<p>and lets not forget arrested development and prison break on monday nights!
mad excited for arrested to come back mon night</p>
<p>Are you serious? </p>
<p>That's really sad, sorry.</p>
<p>I like those shows, too, spidertennis.</p>
<p>why is that sad? im a funny guy and i like my comedy... what do you do instead of watching tv thats so much better?</p>
<p>um that is retarded because what happens if there is a national crisis.</p>
<p>cnn msnbc and foxnews keep u connected.</p>
<p>bad call. i bet harvard will reject you.</p>
<p>Harvard will reject me because I don't want television? Wow.</p>
<p>Amnesia - ever heard of the internet? Cnn.com, msnbc.com, foxnews.com
Bad call.</p>
<p>TV is an addiction nurtured from birth. Nothing positive comes from it that cannot be gained elsewhere. It is a waste of time. </p>
<p>What do I do instead of tv that's so much better? I have a life outside of a box...</p>
<p>if it weren't for TV, i wouldn't have had a topic for my supplemental essay for Yale, which was based on Chappelle's Show. </p>

You know what else is a waste of time? CC.</p>
<p>Oh yea, I'm also a Nickelodeon lover. Used to watch Are you afraid of the dark? That **** was off the hook, especially when they threw the sand into the fire.</p>

</p>
<p>so instead of watch tv on sunday and monday nights you do what exactly?</p>
<p>I don't understand why you're all getting so defensive about something so trivial and unrelated to you. As I said before, it's obviously an addiction you feel you have to defend. I know that television has consumed a large percentage of your life but think outside of that for just a moment. Tv is made to suit the masses, to pacify and entertain them, to prevent them from doing anything else. It IS sad... Has anyone read Fahrenheit 451? I mean come on.</p>
<p>What do I do instead of what TV? Where do you get the time to watch TV? I spend weekdays working on shows (theatre) from after school to eight, I spend the weekends doing whatever homework I couldn't get done during the week. My productivity and mood has only increased since I got rid of the tube, and I sincerely recommend it to all. You might think you will miss certain shows, but you would be surprised how much you really don't when there is no option of watching it.</p>
<p>runningincircles, i enjoyed your ATL mini-advertisement. :-)</p>
<p>wrathofgod, the sand-throwing was great. i'm so glad someone remembers that!</p>
<p>okay let's not bicker about watching tv. i think it's something that should be watched in moderation, but not necessarily eliminated entirely. once again, listen to the greeks, all things should be taken in moderation.</p>
<p>...new topic that doesn't include bashing on one another? come on everyone, only a few more days until the decision. let's have fun, not fight. :-)</p>
<p>but i wanna fight some moreeee
i know im rightttt</p>
<p>hahahah</p>
<p>what's everyone's favorite book/band?</p>
<p>has harvard released its date yet? if so what is it, i am too lazy to go thru 5 pages of posts...</p>
<p>favorite book: brothers karamazov
favorite band: nine inch nails</p>
<p>sorry i am not a harvard applicant but i will answer...
Favorite book: Crime and Punishment
Favorite band: Aerosmith
ahh, ontolome, i see you are a fellow Dostoevsky reader</p>
<p>had a dostoevsky binge the summer before sophomore year. haven't recovered since....</p>
<p>shainaloves, my worst fear is living with somebody who plays too much music out loud or leaves a TV on. harvard or not, i hope i get a roommate who's as quiet as i am. especially if we don't keep the same hours, which is very likely since i'm in bed before 10 and awake before 5.</p>
<p>favorite book: lolita
favorite band: too many. dave matthews maybe?</p>
<p>i'm also afraid of a crazy roommate... i mean i think i'm pretty normal but compared to a lot of people my age maybe not so much...</p>
<p>and for Grk... i believe we've settled on Dec. 14th at 5 PM (email decision).</p>
<p>cookie monster, nabokov is awesome too. have you ever checked out the pale fire?
another one i can't get enough of is thomas mann.</p>
