I'm thinking about getting rid of it.

All I watch are old movies I've already seen.

ESPN which I usually don't even pay attention.

Adult Swim which I usually don't even pay attention.

The occasional good show on Discovery Channel or NGC but most of it is reruns.

G4, this cost extra anyways and I'd rather just play video games.

50$ a month is a lot.

No Monday Night Football is the only thing I will really miss.

That and Man Vs. Wild which I hope I'll find online.

You'll miss it, I do, despite being able to find things online the convenience of tv is hard to beat.

Please don't get rid of it, you'll just be here more often rubbing yourself through your sweatpants.

I pay $8 a month for basic cable. Sometimes I think I'm getting ripped off. Do it, you won't miss it.

8$ a month is cheap.
50$ is a rip off.

Still debating this.

people who don't have cable are poor

even if you hardly ever watch it, its a status symbol

you have some people over and they wanna watch TV

"Oh I'm sorry, I don't have cable" you say

you look like an asshole and a bum

people who have cable and watch it regularly are mindless media puppets and consumer whores

if I have some people over and they want to watch TV I think "Fuck, I need some friends that have personalities"

Yeah we don't sit around and watch TNT all night with Doritos and Mountain Dew

Games on ESPN...Always Sunny...HBO Boxing...etc

There's occasionally shit on that is fun to watch with friends

You don't have to watch TV just to watch it... "House of Payne is on again, awesome !"

Tiberius won the fuck out of this thread.

Although, to be fair, in a debate on what constitutes normal social behavior, pretty much so anyone that disagrees with Slave Famous wins the fuck out of threads.

Mass market sports are in no way a shallow, passive exercise in male bonding

It's the masculine equivalent of reality television

Oh Noes, Clay Aiken the Detroit Lions lost American Idol A Football Game

HUHUH YEAH MAN THE DETROIT LIONS SUCK, I USED TO PLAY FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE'RE ALL COOL HERE

I can't really think of any shows I like specifically but when I'm sitting around flipping through channels it's a lot nicer when I have cable.

you'll miss it for 2 weeks

then you'll visit someone that has cable

and you'll realize that with all those options, there is still nothing on tv
