When we were kids, our TV was always on the blink -- in reality, my mom simply unplugged it -- so we had to go outside and play. Or, we could read a book, play board games, clean our rooms, etc. I actually learned how to cook during some of these TV "outages."
With four kids cooped up inside, my stay-at-home mom had to come up with some clever ways to keep her sanity.
I remember once when my brother had a friend from out in the country come and stay with us in the city for a week in the summer and we truly were without TV. It was no big deal to us because we were used to it, but the friend looked like a deer in headlights when he learned the sad news.
"No TV? What do you guys do?" We taught him how to explore the neighborhood and all sorts of fun outdoor activities. I'm not sure if he bought it, though; I don't remember him ever coming for another extended visit.
But, to help your cause, I suggest: finding good recipes and experimenting, bicycling, walking/hiking, cleaning -- or maybe get a dog, that'll keep you busy and entertained :-)

I wouldn't want to miss an episode of 'Lost'. That's really the only show that I NEED to see every week. The other shows I watch I could miss and not feel "lost" if I missed a week here and there. I hope you make it the whole week, but I think the weather is conspiring against you. Good luck and cook safely!

Yea, outside of 'Lost' and a couple other shows, I'd have no problems. I'd just delve into some music, catch up on reading and get tons of projects done. Another person in the house, though, might be found in a corner in the fetal position muttering something about no tv.
