How glad I am that when we moved to France we decided not to have a tv at all! Television is simply off the radar here. We never give it a thought, and I wouldn't have time anyway. I suppose we are very lucky that we just don't need entertainment, as we make our own.
We do watch the occasional DVD on the computer, and that can be something to look forward to immensely. At the moment we are working our way (one episode a week) through the original Forsyte Saga!!! What pleasure!
