We've been in our Naglee Park (San Jose) house now for 8 weeks or so, and I've somehow almost entirely stopped watching TV, even though we're getting HBO, Food Network, and all sorts of cable goodness.
What happened?
1) During our move, I got out of the habit of watching TV, and never really got back into it.
2) Six Feet Under and Sopranos, the two shows I am completely hooked on are not on the air right now--nothing else has grabbed my attention.
3) Blogging and newsreaders have kicked in to my life, big time. When at an earlier time I might cruise the channels looking for something interesting, these days I am more likely to fire up my newsreader and see what the 300+ feeds are posting. There's a cadre of bloggers I read everyday, but the newsreader gives me a chance to check out many more voices, including foodblog, a klog apart, and Inessential all of which I really enjoy but do not read daily.

Short version: Bloggers' voices are far more authentic and interesting than most of the silliness on TV.
