Garbage In Garbage Out. I sometimes wonder how many dreams, marriages, healthy bodies etc… has been ruined by television. Still, there are some great television shows. Resist the temptation to watch television purely based on what you find entertaining. Move toward choices that will inspire you, increase your knowledge in important areas, and help make you more successful. I love sports of all kinds, but it is very easy to get drawn into spending excessive amounts of time watching other people pursue their goals and mission in life while important parts of your life go unattended. I would suggest a limit of one hour a day with rare exceptions.
Here are some choices I have found worthwhile. I don’t watch all the shows regularly, but I still find them valuable on occasion.
The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch (CNBC) Great inspiration for work and business
The Dave Ramsey Show (Fox Business) Excellent ideas on personal finance
Mad Money with Jim Cramer (CNBC) Good investment strategies
Joel Osteen - Inspirational Pastor
Hour of Power with Robert Schuller - Inspirational Pastor
Ed Young - Inspirational Pastor
Larry King Live - Stay up on culture and current events
Dr. Phil - General wisdom for living
The O’Reilly Factor (Fox News) - Political viewpoint with a conservative slant
Hardball (MSNBC) - Political viewpoint with a liberal slant
Fit TV - Cable channel devoted to Health and Fitness Programming
The Learning Channel
The Biography Channel
The History Channel
House and Garden Channel - Inspiration for your dream house
The Food Channel - Inspirations for your inner chef
American Idol - This show is really about people pursuing a dream
Do I watch junk? Very rarely.
I also recommend taking the TV out of your bedroom. It will likely improve your marriage and eliminate a lot of mindless channel surfing and watching just for background noise.
