I haven't had cable since July 1996.
I know I'm missing good stuff. However, I'm overscheduled as it is. My brain isn't really improving or even being maintained without network programming:
* I can watch DVD box sets of television shows. However, as many of them are due back in a week this makes for a couch potato existence.
* some pulp novels and stories are brainless entertainment, either by radio or by book.
* Youtube: preserved nostalgia and peephole of base entertainment. My household has enough problems with screen media beyond commercial network television
* I am still waiting for a la carte offerings from the cable conglomerate.
