Fred Reed has an interesting article up on his site about the dangers of television. It’s a good read.
I reluctantly admit that I’m a bit of a television junkie myself. Fortunately with maturity comes a propensity to find other, more worthwhile things to do. Every time a new season starts, I reduce the number of shows I follow. Also, having a girlfriend, and now a fiancée, there is far less time to spend in front of the tube. With a wife, I expect to spend even less time watching.
I don’t completely demonize the TV though. I have a Tivo, and at least a third of the shows I record regularly are Christian in nature, and beneficial to my walk with God.
