TV is find in moderation, and being able to watch what you want on demand is fantastic. We don't have DVR or TiVo, but we watch shows that repeat multiple times on the same day, and some repeat over the weekend at different times. If we really want to watch something commercial free that has a free podcast, we subscribe to that podcast. It's a great way to watch what you really want to see when you want to see it. Once you build up shows on your DVR, TiVo or in iTunes on your computer, you'll seldom go back to channel- surfing just to see what's on. We have 2 people in the house, and 4 TVs, only one of which is watched regularly. I should sell at least 2 of the other 3. We wouldn't miss them. Sherri Maria,

It's way too easy to substitute TV and YouTube with the same effect. @Grace – I can’t always do classical music – I’m too manic – but it’s a great suggestion for more “normal” people!

Try music with headphones. Mozart is great, Bach is soothing, even some of the New Age stuff (Enya, etc.) is easy to listen to, without the constant barrage of commercials and other stuff you REALLY don't want to be zoning into your tired head!
