So many TV commercials are about selling high dollar automobiles but I wonder how many people who buy these cars watch TV.

Last year I bought a Samsung digital TV set in order to watch TV without the decoder attached to my old analog Philips TV. Now I have a new PC and am using the new TV set as monitor. Goodby TV.

Every one watches TV.

Pre-Eric (circa 1989-1992) I did not own a tv. I was insufferably snotty and holier-than-thou about it too. Eric could not live without television, so when we became a couple television became a part of my life. Now I park my ample behind upon the couch and let my brain rot on a terrifyingly regular basis.

Well back in my very early days of being a young snot nosed semi adult. ( 18 )
I thought after watching those High karote adds I could wear that and get girls.
I have been a non believer in TV adds ever since:)
I have worked second or 3rd shift most of my life. I only record what I really want to to watch. And BLOW BY the comercials.

I have never owned a Mercedes. I have given them away as gifts. Drove a BMW for about 10 years, a Ferrari for 20, and gave my ex a Cadillac Escalade. I have always had a TV, but my watching is minimal. Sunday Morning, F1 and occasionally the news. Today I own 2 TV's but no cable service. They are for my kids to play computer games and movies. I do have Netflix, but they never seem to have anything I want to watch. So I really don't watch TV.

The Channel Store is Available as part of Netflix Main Menu. The Amount of Worldwide Diverse Content is Amazing. With 99.9999% of No Interest, but Dat 0.0001 Might Be Worth 'It'.

Dat Romania Channel...and, of course BollywOOd.

I love Tv. I've never had a Cadillac or a Mercedes, so I guess my tv habit has ruined me. ;~}

Good try. There were good financial reasons for the gifts. Let's just say there was a good return on investment.

No TV here either. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, when I visit people that have one.
My familie likes those expensive cars and yes they watch TV. Mind you, they are all in Europe and the Commercials are just funnier.
