I can appreciate not having cable or satellite, however, the whole "save your brain" part is a bit off IMO.
Though many pay channels only deliver outright tripe, the over-the-air programming isn't much better. With pay service, you can also choose to watch History, Discovery, A&E, AMC, TCM, etc. not to mention the additional sports programming.
Even so, I love the line from the beginning of the movie The Princess Bride, when Peter Falk as an elderly grandpa says to a young Fred Savage...
"When I was your age... television was called books."
