I sure hope so. Not only do we not have cable, we don’t have a dish either. It shocks a lot of friends when they find out, but it makes perfect sense to me: TV is boring and makes lazy kids.
We had cable when we lived in Maine while the kids were small. One nice spring day they were planted in front of the TV,where they spent most of the winter, instead of outside.enjoying the beautiful weather. I immediately called the cable company (never piss off mom :)) and we’ve been cable-free ever since. We watch stations that come in with “rabbit ears” as well as VHS and DVD movies.
I don’t miss it one bit. Especially football Sundays when it was my husband, not the kids, who remained glued in front of the TV.
