In my experience tv can be addicting.  My mom would insist NOT  
missing the Young and the Restless everday and precisely on  
time. If she arrived home after work at 4:30p, the first thing  
she would do is turn on the tv to watch that.  She'd only leave  
the room or take off her coat if there was a commercial.  My  
dad was similar but initally addicted to the news; he'd watch  
the hourly news from one feed, and then turn the dish (we had a  
C-band system at one point) and watch the SAME news from  
another feed - for HOURS!  Eventually, he joined my mom with  
the Y&R.   :/
