TV really can be part of a balanced lifestyle. And there's a fallacy that people who watch a lot of TV don't read. And anyone else can do the same thing. There's a lot of great stuff on television amid all the dreck. Sure, we have Jerry Springer and Temptation Island and Maury Povich and Tom Green , but I'll take all of that if we also get Ed , Frontline , the Discovery Channel, the History Channel and The Simpsons .
TV really has a great batting average.
I'd miss a lot of really good stuff.
