A great observation from David Frost:
Television enables you to be entertained in your home by people you wouldn’t have in your home.
Vulgar, debasing, tasteless fools — don’t bring them in. How about a good book tonight?
People You Wouldn’t Invite into Your Home
Book? Nah, I’d rather watch TV.
Of course the reason we don’t mind them on TV is we can switch them off when they get annoying with no fuss. When they are there in person it’s a tad harder…
Matthew 5:22
But sometimes it’s so hard to find a well-written book whose author I’d invite to my home, too!
