The TV of today isn\u2019t like the TV of yesterday, and there are all kinds of great reasons to watch things on our computers nowadays. The couch-potato stigma is no longer relevant because the things we watch have caught up with the times and are providing excellent entertainment for great prices. Here are some reasons to stay inside and watch things on those tough days.<\/p>\n<h2>You can learn a lot<\/h2>\n<p>From DIY projects to Documentaries to even watching lectures from prestigious Universities around the world in order to learn something new, the internet in general has given us a great opportunity to better ourselves in any way we\u2019d like. Not only that, but unlike actually going to school, there\u2019s no homework or grades \u2013 so absolutely no stress! If you could go to school to learn about interesting things without any worry about grades, wouldn\u2019t you be interested in taking a class or two? That\u2019s what the internet looks like now \u2013 free learning for everyone!<\/p>\n<h2>TV is the new movies<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that budgets are higher for TV than they ever have been, and the quality of programming in general is exceptional now. It used to be that in order to get a really masterful experience, you\u2019d need to go to some art-house cinema and watch some Lars Von Trier, but nowadays, all you need to do is flick on House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. TV is becoming the new high-art medium and the stories it\u2019s telling are phenomenal.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s a lot cheaper<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that living in Toronto gets expensive sometimes, especially when you\u2019re going out on the town regularly. Sometimes it\u2019s best just to stay in, relax, and take it a bit easy on your wallet \u2013 and what better way to do that than snuggle up in a blanket and watch old episodes of Friends? It pays to be smart with your money in this economy \u2013 literally \u2013 so don\u2019t let peer pressure get the best of you. Your friends and the bars will always be there, so it\u2019s OK to take a night or two for yourself sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have stressful weeks or days that really just don\u2019t agree with us, but &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rental-guides"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>3 arguments that prove watching TV isn\u2019t a bad thing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"headline\":\"3 arguments that prove watching TV isn\u2019t a bad thing\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-09-24T00:00:44+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-04T20:50:28+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\"},\"wordCount\":414,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-88737.jpeg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Rental Guides\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\",\"name\":\"3 arguments that prove watching TV isn\u2019t a bad thing\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-88737.jpeg\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-09-24T00:00:44+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-04T20:50:28+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-88737.jpeg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-88737.jpeg\",\"width\":2000,\"height\":1124,\"caption\":\"3 arguments that prove watching TV isn\u2019t a bad thing\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/3-arguments-that-prove-watching-tv-isnt-a-bad-thing#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Toronto Rentals Blog\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Rental Guides\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/rental-guides\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"3 arguments that prove watching TV isn\u2019t a bad thing\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"Toronto Rentals Blog\",\"description\":\"Looking for an apartment in Toronto?
