Just as a counter point, I gave up TV a little over year ago and nothing changed. Granted, I saved some money on not needing a cable bill, which was nice, but it wasn't a life changing event. I don't feel like I suddenly gained more free time. It's true that I haven't missed it, but I also haven't missed the green pants I gave to Goodwill. I wouldn't tell you to get rid of your green pants if you're getting enjoyment from them.

So, on the one hand, I'll agree with the article. Get rid of your TV. It's not that important. On the other hand, if you feel like keeping it, do so. It's still not that important.
