I unplugged back in Nov. 2018 and I thought it would be difficult to keep myself entertained without the TV. At first I sort of missed watching Angels and Ducks games but after a few weeks I found it surprisingly easy to live without it. In my mind network television died a long time ago and cable followed shortly thereafter when all the science and history shows I used to watch were replaced by the cheap-to-produce reality programming. Returning the cable box and saving $120 a month were pretty liberating too!
Growing up in a 3rd world country, we didn't have 24/7 electricity let alone cable. My only entertainment was the library across my house with tones of history and poetry books. Now at age 25 the only TV in the house is so my husband plays video games and watch old 90's shows. I have a large collection of books all around the house.

I unplugged in 2012. I still think they may use subliminals.
I unplugged back in 2006. Not going back as I find I can research the news on my own terms.
If they put tits and SEX into Disney films you can bet it's on cable too in one form or another.

Pretty similar.
I returned the cable box right around the same time, and don't miss cable one bit. It hasn't been a sacrifice at all.
I like the Kings too, just not when they play the Ducks.
Can confirm the original history channel and discovery channel were GOAT now it’s weird crab fishers and thrift store hustling chit.
