Study says you will die earlier than non tv watchers. Bullshit?

When people who may spend all day watching tv maybe have other bad habits that contribute to their shortened life span. Really hard to say its just one causal factor.

I watched so many Sanford And Son repeats that I'd already be dead, if this were true.

Their assessment is clearly dependent on what you do with the other 23 hours of your day.    If you are very active then it is bs.

I think the danger zone here, is when you only stop watching TV to post on getbig.

Thread title is misleading - I would have thought watching an hour of TV robs you of an hour of your life, not 22mins, especially if you're stupid enough to sit through a crap programme for an hour.
