My sister rolls her eyes every time I tell that story. My husband and I don't have TV either. He was just saying yesterday how his colleagues don't really believe him. I find it freeing though - more time to spend on activities like reading!

As long as you can still watch your favorite shows, and I'm 100% with you on Supernatural (best show ever!) then there's no need for a TV.
