Ah ok, well if the boy gets bigger and he starts watching TV, either get a TiVo then or stick to the channels with minimal commercials. Otherwise you’ll constantly be telling him no no no no no!

That’s great advice if you watch television, but we watch virtually no television anymore outside of our Lost obsession and some PBS programs.

BUY A TIVO. (Seriously, don’t resist this temptation, either a TiVo or another DVR.) Once you use it, you’ll have more time and you’ll manage to save yourself from being bombarded with so much advertising. I rarely watch anything that hasn’t been TiVoed anymore. In an hourlong program, it saves you 15 minutes of commercials, and in sports presentations it saves so much more. I’m so rarely tempted to buy stuff or go to movies, and I don’t have to schedule my life around CSI or whatever.
