Heath Row talks about Turn on the TV 2003. Which has an "exercise in living through our favorite appliance" in response to TV Turnoff Week. While I think turning off the TV isn't a bad idea (does that include watching movies or going to the movies?) I think people also need to be aware of just how powerful the media can be. Anyone else remember The Zen TV Experiment (referenced by the TV Turnoff Week page)? If you haven't done the experiment give it a try.

My TV will be turning on this week most probably, but lately I haven't really been ruled by it. I have about a week's worth of shows in the TiVo that haven't been watched. I'll most probably go through soon and delete 90% of them. I just haven't felt like watching much lately (though movies are another story altogether. I've got The Producers queued up to watch sometime today.
