I would not want to be without a television. I don't watch much of it, mainly sports and the occasional TV series. And breaking news. When something big happens I am glued to CNN.

Lately I have been recording David Letterman and watching most of them. He isn't going to be on the air much longer. The other night Meryl Streep was the main guest. She doesn't do talk shows very often.
