Claire: Thanks for your comment! I agree about the value of consuming mainstream media (whether it be via TV or DVDs or downloaded films) to keep your English sharp. I do the same thing. Living here in Sweden, there’s a huge risk that my English will turn into Swenglish if I’m not careful.

Hi Lori,
just wanted to say that I so agree with you on this one.TV is just a waste of time, I´d rather read books, study or go out (or download my favourite TV shows and watch them on my PC, but then I do it mostly to improve my English – and that way I can avoid commercials – as I am not a huge tv-watcher myself)

Anyway,thanks for another great podcast =)

Marcos: Thanks for your nice feedback. It’s fun to know that we have listeners as far away as Brazil!

Kristof: Thanks for the interesting trivia! I used to be a big TV-watcher as well, but gave it up altogether about 4 years ago. But I still like to watch films and other programs on the computer. Someday when I have a bigger place I’d like to buy a dedicated DVD player and large TV screen to enhance my viewing pleasure. Oh, and a comfy chair, natch!

Kai:Thanks for the kind words and the good news. I had no idea we were doing so well in Germany. Cool!

Oi Lori & Michael,

When I went to live on my own, the first thing I bought was a PC. And then a TV. Well, I bought them both in one go, actually, but if I hadn’t been able to, that would have been the order in which I’d have bought them.

When I’m home alone I often turn on the TV as Michael indicated, as a sort of comforter. It produces light, sound and warmth and it doesn’t talk back.

When both of us are home, we hardly watch any TV except in the bedroom. I use the TV to clear my head before going to sleep. I know there’s a lot of other interesting activities in the bedroom such as reading a book, playing a game on my Nintendo DS or carnal pleasure, but TV is the thing that best puts my mind to rest.

Did you know that people actually have minimal brain functions when watching TV? And that people who take an IQ test, then watch an hour of TV and then take the same IQ test again, will score lower on said test?

Enough trivia! Keep it up!
