I gave up on television for the most part, both basic and premium cable, at the turn of the millennium. I almost exclusively watch documentary shows and various childhood/young adulthood faves on the internet, mainly YouTube.
I do try to catch an episode or two of the latest popular shows from time to time, just to see if they might interest me. So far, I don't feel like I've missed out on much. Besides, all that TV watching time cuts into my gaming time... which is how TV sets were meant to be used.
