Deewee, don't feel bad. Since we don't watch a lot of TV, we had this old 27" TV that weight at least 200lbs. I think it was a toshiba, and MrB's parents have it to us years ago when they upgraded to flat screen. We just got rid of that a year ago and got a Samsung (I think?). It took us awhile to get used to. It looked like British TV shows on all channels.
MrB will not get rid of cable. He watches a lot of documentaries and then of course we have Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, and another one I can't think of. All on HBO and staggered through out the year. Grrr.
