First person I ever met that didn't like TV and sports like me. Feels nice to know i'm not alone. Though i'm getting to the point where I pretty much despise TV and the people that can sit there for hours doing nothing. Among other things I grow to hate, it will probably make me like some cranky old man when i'm old but can't seem to help it.
I think there's a good handful of us out there.
TV sucks something terrible, it is despicable as you say.
Not that I'm lame enough to have cable in 2013.. but even the History Channel has mostly gone to the dogs.
The only station I'd care to turn on (and mostly for background noise while I eat a sandwich) is PBS. And the only reason PBS isn't completely brainless is because it's a non-profit institution and relies on donations/viewers like you. The 'profit incentive' seems to ruin a lot of good things in life.
I do have a Netflix subscription for her to watch whatever she wants, which is also occasional. She found once she moved in with me that life without cable isn't that big of a deal. You become more productive.
We're both working on 2 business plans at the moment, we have things to do in our life. She's finishing her teaching certification and I'm learning new programming skills.. for fun we enjoy good food and I play exorbitant amounts of League of Legends.
TV is just obsolete, sports I support in theory because it's better people focus on their meaningless team than nationalism/war/xenophobia/killing each other.
Oh, and Hexen was a great game (I'm 31 next month, longtime gamer like yourself).
