And here I thought I was the only one... curious though. .. why no tv?
Because I am too busy in life trying to read thousands of pages in reading various books, working in some way, and networking with people in my specialty.
For years, I had focused on underground financial research (learning about how the financial mob is the financial arm of Western civilization and how it works to keep people enslaved to it and keeps itself in top dog position in this world). I then left that about 4 years ago, did minimal reading on it since then. The last related newsletter went for-pay subscription only, so I opted out entirely. Meanwhile, I was getting involved with renaissance faires and trying to find a trade skill. Then about a year and a half ago, I started learning about Hinduism (reading over 6,000 pages across 35 books and papers during this time frame - I have maybe 90 books to go, around 50,000 pages or more). I had become familiar with it on a superficial level about 10 years ago, and then it gradually grew in complexity and knowledge gained. Now, I'm a contract scholar writing articles part-time.
This is what I do now:

It looks like if I progress far enough in my personal growth to require a spiritual master, my temple will send me to India for some length of time to complete this process as far as I can in this life. That's what's going on in my life.
Plus, because of my isolation away from TV life for so long, it has become odd to me to watch TV, especially like sitcoms, dramas, because it feels like I cut a hole in the wall everywhere the characters are, and I'm eavesdropping on their lives. It feels like an invasion of privacy, like I'm not supposed to do this.
However, I have a guilty pleasure of Bollywood movies on YouTube when I have access to WIFI on my computer (which I don't out here).
