[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 23557, member: 3419"] We have no cable. The kids are allowed to watch "The Nanny" (I'm not kidding!) and very few other shows, and basically not allowed any TV on weeknights. I got rid of cable yrs ago because husband was addicted and the noise bothered me. Now we rent movies, or buy the classics. The kids have watched Singing in the Rain and My Fair Lady so often, they have them both memorized. We have most of the old I Love Lucy collection. Some of the reason is difficult child... no Game Boy, because speed and lights make him crazy, as do some of the TV commercials. (They give me a headache, and some of the computer ads do too, but at least I know enough to x-out.) If we got cable/satellite, we'd subscribe to Animal Planet and Disney and History. "IF." difficult child just earned back his computer yesterday. He is allowed to play Backyard Football and Backyard Baseball, and Solitaire (the old card game). Other games make him crazy. He is highly sensitive to lights, etc. and explodes. I can always tell when he's snuck over to a friend's house and played GameBoy because he storms in the door, starts badmouthing me, and breaking things. It's nice to know one of his main triggers!
