You want to know what's ironic? I don't watch that much TV. Seriously, it's just not interesting for the most part. I watch the news and new shows, some sports, and every now and then a show like "House", but that's about it. I think I watched more TV when I was UPC than I do now. I'm not casting aspersions on anyone by saying so, that's just my experience. I have several TV's merely for convenience sake. What's probably even more ironic is that one of the TV's I own was given to me by the music minister of a UPC church.

I agree, I like to watch the news channels and cooking and decorating channels.

When I was a kid, growing up, every time I'd go spend the night at a friend's house who had TV, I was transfixed! I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

I'd stay up and watch it until the test pattern came on, lol.

Now, I DVR a few shows, and watch them when I have time. I can't stand the noise if I'm trying to talk to the family.

haha. I remember those days! Me too!

And it's not just UPC people. I remember as a teen I went to a teen retreat and there was this Amish/Mennonite kid there. He spent the ENTIRE week in the rec room GLUED to the TV! Me? There was a cute Nazarene girl that distracted me.

Well, isn't it something how the UPC bashers always seem to find each other

OMG! Will you guys give us a break! Nobody is bashing anybody. We're just talking here! Stop the whining, please!

I LOVE the UPC even though I'm no longer a part of it. The UPC did great things for me and I appreciate my heritage. It's ok for people to make comments about their experience w/out people getting offended. It'd be much more helpful if you'd relax and allow yourself to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you come across as dour and uptight.
