Well, I'm doing both right now. I'm learning about algae or something...

Generally, though, I'm not too big on tv aside from a couple of shows here and there...and football.

Talk bass pop culture is somewhat annoying

Definitely visiting TalkBass. I'm not that much into TV, in spite of the fact that I didn't conceive life without TV when I was a kid/teenager.

Aside from a few exeptions, I think T.V. has become what I hate most about America. If Laguna Beach and that MTV show Sweet 16 are what other countries think of America, then I don't blame them much for their bad opinions.
TalkBass has become the best way that the best features of each country shine through.
It just shows that music is so much more beneficial to mankind than watching spoiled brats cry about how Hilary Duff didn't come to their birthday party.

I voted carrot cake because I love carrot cake. I can't stand most series on TV--House, Grey's Anatomy, etc.---blahhhhhh. That said, I do enjoy law and order as well as a good movie, so I'd go for TV just because of those. Oh also there are some good shows on the discovery channel and stuff, but I can't take the crap they put on the major networks (not including law and order and sporting events).

No TV, so TB, especially as I'm working on the 'puter most of the time and it provides distraction breaks.

I actually spend 8 of my 10 hour workday on here. I hate TV.

We need to start TalkBass Television.

I would pay for it.

Interviews with bassists, lessons, gear news, updates of Barbara with username n/a.
