i don't watch tv

Over the past weeks, we've been watching a lot of TV:
COVID-19 TV habits show a staggering change in viewing hours and what we’re watching - mlive.com
Watching Lots of TV? Welcome to My World - The New York Times
Ayala: You’ve been watching a lot of TV, right? Yeah, me, too - ExpressNews.com

This blog has already looked at 'not watching TV':
Jay Doubleyou: kill your tv
Jay Doubleyou: turn off your tv
Jay Doubleyou: the mean world syndrome

[Of course, unless you want to learn a language:
Jay Doubleyou: my favourite tv
Jay Doubleyou: how to learn english from watching tv]

Here are are some good lists:
Top 10 Reasons You Should Stop Watching TV | Personal Excellence
11 Reasons You Should Stop Watching Television Now

But here's the classic list - with a good 'see also' list:
Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television - Wikipedia

Plus the author Jerry Mander:
Arguments for the Elimination of Television - YouTube

And a nice little interview:
Christopher Eccleston: 'I don't watch TV – it's too hard to suspend disbelief' | Film | The Guardian
