ugh, no, i grew up without a TV but i had TV in my 20s. one thing i learned very quickly that flipping channels was a waste of time. instead i would study the TV guide every week and mark every show that i wanted to watch or if i would't be able to watch at the time, record, and then i never watched anything but what i had marked.
and ever since i have the ability to watch what i want any time because it's always available or i can download it, i do the same, but now i can choose when to watch without letting the TV dictate my schedule.
