It has happened, since 2001... That I really don't watch a lot of TV. I may have started sort of like and accident... But then I really got into it, and enjoyed it. Yes, I enjoyed the not watching it... Because then, if I was not spending all this hours in front of the TV, it only meant I was doing something else...
2001?... Wow... It sounds like exaggerating but... Let me see. In 2001 I went as an exchange student to Macomb, this silly little town close to Chicago... I was there for a year, and I owned no tv. Buying one didn't seem like a good investment after all, and I used most of my extra money on books or comics... Well, not really... It was on beer and booze. Then, the very very extra was on books. Heh.
So, after my exchange I go back to Mexico, to this new house in a lovely place close to the mountains... As lovely as it is, it means that to get TV you need satellite. Too far away for a cable company to care, and too surrounded by mountains to get any "air" signal... Satellite it was, yet we only got one thingy... Which meant, only one way to change the channels and what was seen on one TV, could be seen on all of them.
... My mom is the Queen of the TV... So... Not a lot of TV there...
Heh... And now?... Canada?... OF COURSE I wasn't going to buy one!. After 5 years of being perfectly happy without one?. And believe me, it's not boring!. He he he... I remember Kike, when he moved into our house, he said "living with the Padilla's makes you enjoy reading"... Or, any other hobby for that matter.
I am happy. :-)
Sometimes I enjoy a movie, and rent them. For that, I wish I had a TV device, yet not the cable or stuff... Anyway... There was a point to this post. The point is, as much as I think TV is highly over rated, and isn't all that great... Sometimes comes a TV series that reaaaaally hooks me in. That makes me wish I had one, and I could follow it closely...
It happened with Lost... Coupling, Firefly, and believe it or not, with Desperate Housewives too...Thankfully, most of this you can get one way or the other... Online, rent, buy... I have done all of this. Heh... Now though, I have to admit, I have been hooked again. This TV series rocks... Really, if you have the time, DO follow Heroes...
And don't get turned off by the "comic book" feeling or super power extravaganza... Yes, it happens they have powers, but the series is very well put together and, honestly, I bet non fiction lovers (or sci-fi haters for that matter), would find it interesting, very.
So... Download it if you have missed some episodes, follow it on TV if you have the chance... Whatever. It's good.
