We've had TV for about a month now and I cant decide if I love it or hate it.
Pros
* Jane Eyre - I LOVE period dramas and this one on BBC 1 is no exception. The last episode is tonight. It's even inspired me to read the book again (haven't touched it since year 12).
* Stephen Fry's Secret Life of the Manic Depressive - this was a brilliant two part series which had some closer to home implications and was very worth watching, even if the critics did say it was a self-centred programme.
* Catching up on all those Friends episodes I've missed!
* Freeview is much better than just regular TV and makes it much more value for money
* It's kinda nice to come home from work and just have something to flop in front of which doesn't require any input or effort
Cons
* It's such a lazy form of entertainment! I don't think I would have paid for anything other than Jane Eyre and Stephen Fry's thing if I could choose what to see.
* It's far too easy to flop ater work and not really move.
* I miss quiet evenings with music playing while we read books or play chess and boring suff like that, which have bigger fulfilment factors.
In short I think I detest television and miss making quality time of our evenings, but the odd quality programme is too good to miss. The bad element is me and my laziness and I will therefore make an effort to only switch it on when there's something I want to see.

Jane Eyre and the Stephen Fry programme were fabulous! Loved them both. You do have to wade through some trash to get the gems though...
