I don't have Television either. That's what the interweb is for (and sometimes Netflix).
I am entirely in agreement. (After hearing my description of my conversation with Cable Selling Guy, Best Beloved said, "You told him we had a DVD player? Why?" And I was like, well, drugs, you know - look, I don't have the slightest clue. And I made some wavy-hands gestures. And then she said, "Okay, so, then, why didn't you tell him we had a subscription to Netflix? I mean, if you were going to bring up the DVD player..." Again, I had no answer, except that the DVD player hadn't really made him happy, so I guess I didn't think Netflix would help, either. Basically, I blame the pain and the drugs, even if I suspect the conversation would have gone just as badly if I'd been totally pain-free and sober.)
I know many people who love television - really, some of my best friends have cable TV! - but I am so much happier to keep it on DVD. These broadcast shenanigans, they confuse me. And with TV, I don't need more confusion.
Your analysis of the New Frontier vid is so spot-on it made me tear up a little.
That vid makes me tear up a little. It is, as you said, amazing. *awed*
I love your rec-posts btw. Just thought I should say that once since I delurked.
