I watch about four hours of TV a day. It is such an easy and pleasant way to get information. I can sit back, cuppa or a glass of wine, while someone explains, say, the history of Britain to me, with great visuals. I can find out what is going on across the world as though I was almost there. See places and animals I'll never encounter in 'the real world'.
I love reading too, but TV is.....nice....

I think they were too harsh, though TV can have a tranquilising effect
