Whenever I explain my TV-free home, I tell people I'm not judging anyone else's TV-viewing choices (after all, I'm glad my friends don't mind me sitting in front of their screens every once in a while). the response is often a confession. for example, one coworker said she can't help turning her TV on for background noise when her husband is out of town. Others express camaraderie2,saying they hardly ever turn theirs on.
