So there are certainly convincing arguments to turn off the TV. But what do the
anti-TV groups recommend instead of watching your favourite soap opera? ''Read
the TV Turnoff Week leaflets and you will find lots of ideas: go to the library,
learn a musical instrument, play with your pets or start a diary. Or you could
learn about your family history, do some charity work, or go to a museum. Read
a newspaper or listen to the radio.'' So there are plenty of things to do, but are
they as much fun as watching television?
