I, too, would much rather play games than watch an idiotic TV show, and IMO, there's not many good shows left.  I say that it serves the greedy television industry right. Up with the greedy electronic gaming industry! | |

Hah, I'm happy to see that the internet in general is taking away from TV. Television has had a near monopoly on home entertainment for far too long. Online games are probably more educational than what's on TV nowadays. Online gaming addiction is an unfortunate problem that's becoming more and more significant in our society everyday, though being a couch potato isn't a good thing either.  Hey, I bet people burn more calories playing games than just sitting there staring at a TV screen. | |

| I haven't plugged my tv in since I took my ps2 to my grandma's awhile ago. And even when it was plugged in, I didn't turn it on until I went to bed. Games > TV. | |

| Really depends what's on. I'm not the guy who just sits down and keeps flipping channels until he finds something. But if there's a show I like on at 7:00 on tuesdays, i'm gonna plan my schedule around it. I mean, you can play games ANY time. You can only watch that show for a half hour on one day of the week. I have my free time to play games. Easy Choice, head to head : Good TV Show > Good Video Game | |

| This don't surprise me at all. There're only a few shows I really watch on TV, so if I ever feel like playing any games, I've pretty much got the time. =P | |

| the only show i watch reguraly is wrestling (mondays at 9 and thursdays at 8) and even then i play my GBA during the commercial breaks (and some boring matches). I definetly woukld attribute the ratings drop to video games. Why just watch the action when u can control it? | |

| Even non-online games would be to blame I would think.Personally I would much rather play video games than watch TV,they took all of the good tv shows off the air anyway...about the only TV shows I watch are anime and even then I don't usually because I own every episode of almost all the anime shows I like...and besides,I get to watch them in Japanese on my dvds...no edits!!! But as far as TV or Games goes...like someone said earlier...why watch action when you can control it? | |
