I don't even own a TV in my Cologne apartment. I make a living working in TV entertainment and I don't own a TV set. My reason isn't particularly sophisticated - it's just that I don't see why I should pay up to €20 each month to watch crooning, cousin-impregnating ex-cons and their greasy producers verbally ejaculate their profanity, contempt for even faintly acceptable public behaviour and overall humongous imbecility all over a TV screen while the peasants rejoice.
My all-time TV favourites are, luckily, all on DVD - Star Trek TNG, Futurama, Invader Zim, Jim Henson's The Storyteller, The Simpsons - and I'm darned effin' sure I could have grown to love all the new Doctors Who if Pro Sieben hadn't decided they'd much rather show that jumped-up harpy from Bergisch-Gladbach sell anorexic little girls into slavery.
In short: man kann gar nich' so viel fressen, wie man beim Fernsehen gucken kotzen möchte.
