U.S.A. TV

[Udet]

What is all that "Idol" thing about...it seems like the issue is American and Australian...

Is it kind of a "Big Brother" tpye of crap? There you have another one...it seems to me there was a time when TV was the exclusive domain of the "famous" or "noted" ones...news comentators, show hosts, singers and actors...today, it seems like every punk, low-life and low-budget tramp are entitled to have their 15 minutes of fame so they can show the entire nation their endless virtues, good manners and vast knowledge.

I do not have a TV set in my place here -do not need it though-; there is barely enough space for myself to fit in by the way. I call this place the mackerel can.

I wonder if we polled everyone if they would cop to how many TVs exist in their homes. Me? Only 1.

American Idol is not just limited to the US. That show is reproduced all over the world. There is even a German version of it (exactly like the US show just here in Germany) called Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar.

Hell there is even a Military Idol on the military post that I work on.

Same here. Only 1. I do however have a second TV that I bought when I was in the Army to take with me when I went to Iraq.

You know we are not in the ordinary, Adler. In the US, average number is 2.4 per household.

Why? Dont need that many TV's! That just shows how lazy the future generations are becoming. I would much rather spend time with the family outside doing things together or with friends than watching TV.

The only time you will see me glued to my TV is on Sundays during the Football season.

Agree we had some lady shove a bottle up her vagina on Big Brother. Her mother must be so proud.

Also had relavations about rip off premium rate phone in TV competitions that are rigged or bungled.

Going digital will give us more channels/more crap/less choice. To cap it all after having the politicians preach to us about the enviroment digital TV's/radios require more power to the old analogue version(The same amount of power required for 60mins listening on an analogue radio would last only 3mins using digital)

I have 2 but only one is connected

T.V is almost all but useless nowadays. YouTube used to be my programming of choice, but after Google Video bought it and took all my StarGate episodes down I'm sticking to Rome: Total War..

We have 4! Bigger TV in the living room, 19" in the bedroom, 15" LCD in the office, and an old @ss 13" tv from 1985 sitting in a closet...

What do you need those 4 TVs for?

What do you need those 4 TVs for?

I've accumulated them over the years. One I bought when I lived in the barracks 3 years ago. The other was is from the room I had in my parents' house before I moved out. The small LCD was a birthday present so I had a TV in my office. The old 13" is my wife's old tv from when she was a kid - which is why it's from 1985.
