Televisions are good for the Weather, watching movies (DVD's) of YOUR choosing and some news. There are are a few other things it's good for as well.
That's exactly what we have a television for:
Weather - We bought one of those digital antenna that allows us to receive a semi-local station that has weather reporting.
Movies/Documentaries - we pick the time to watch them (none of this planning our lives around some TV programmer's schedule crap). Mostly we watch documentaries. Last night we watched "Food Inc". I recommend it. Last week we watched "Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution". I highly recommend it. That's about the extent of our "TV watching" a couple of hours a week for a movie or documentary.
We were amazed at how much "free time" we had when we stopped watching TV and couldn't have internet access. It was like we were given four hours a day for free. Try it - you'll be amazed at how much you can learn (reading) and accomplish (working on something productive) when you unplug.
