When my wife and I were married, neither of
us owned a television. So we began our
married life together in our first apartment
without one, and it was wonderful. We have
one now, but only because my mom bought it
for us at an auction; it's one of the old 2,000
pound (exaggerated) models from the late
70's. I hardly ever use it unless I'm watching a
video or DVD. The internet (primarily this site)
has become my preferred means of
unwinding now.

I would recommend to anyone who is getting
married to try to spend your first year together
TV-less. My sister and brother-in-law tried it,
and The Scotsman and his new bride are
doing it as well. The time you would spend
watching TV is much better spent building
your relationship with each other.
