Believe me I've thought long and hard about that but my better half wouldn't go for it.....plus other than local news and sports, instead of reality shows, network tv has little more than unfunny sitcoms where every statement is followed by10 seconds of canned laughter and network news that's about as truthful as the nose pickers.
And cable does occasionally have some good uncut "free" movies (not showtime or hbo) and shows (I happen to enjoy how its made). A while back I watched a documentary on federal agent Donnie Brasco and was amazed by how closely the movie portrayed real life.
