Oh, I watched plenty of television as a child/teenager. Up until I discovered sci-fi around age ten, it was even fairly normal kid fare. I just...didn't watch many movies, I guess?
You know, same thing happened to me. And when I discovered friends, even more free time went out the window. And I got very active in high school, so I watched basically no television as a teenager. It wasn't until I hit college that I hit upon massive amounts of free time, mainly because my first college sucked dirt. I watched more television and movies during the summers after that, because either I'd be home and my high school friends were gone, or vice versus. I still don't really watch television, per se. Instead, I watch tv and movies over the internet. It beats having to pay for cable, or when I'm home, having to fight for television control.
(I gakked "amazeballs" from the trek crowd. ;-))
I had a student like that. It was great.
God, I loved those girls. And that boy. But I had the sisters more often than I had their brother. I actually got a chance to meet their mother, and I had to hug her. Her kids were so much more real. Man, I loved them, even if they were infuriating sometimes. Simply because they had opinions did not mean their opinions were always in line with mine!
Netflix is a solution I have not yet made use of, simply because it's cheaper for me to only pay for internet access and watch everything online. The things I can't find online, I either borrow from the library or do without. Sometimes I buy movies, but I keep that as minimal as possible. Though, I have to say, I've got quite the hankering for some Fred and Ginger movies since I mainlined your vids.
