I've seen quite a few homes with no tvs to be seen, like what are yall doing with your time? I couldn't imagine a family room without a tv.

After 11 years of no TV, we just purchased one so that our 2 year old won't have to stare at a phone screen to watch educational videos. After he leaves for college, I'd be happy to return to a no TV house.

To answer your question, my wife is a lifelong learner. She spends most nights reading or taking courses to further her career. I'm a hobby person - playing instruments, woodworking, 3d printing, electronics, house projects. If we want to watch a new movie, we'll see it in theaters. We don't have time for tv shows. We've never watched The Office, GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire, etc. which makes for interesting double dates.
