Can television kill you? The Generation X3 panel takes a look at a new study from the University of Queensland in Austrailia that says every hour of TV that you watch after the age of 25 shortens your life by 22 minutes.

Andrej thinks that might be a pretty good tradeoff. "An hour of quality TV? I think it's worth 20 minutes of boring life." When Dvorak castigates him for being an avid fan of Battlestar Galactica, Andrej responds "Don't judge."

Eddie says "That's why our show is great. You have to watch a complete season of Generation X3 in order to lose 4 minutes of your life."

The study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. It indicates that people who watch around six hours of TV a day live about five years less than those who don't watch any at all. It was based on 11,000 Australians, and found that males who watched 2 hours of TV a day will lose 1.8 years from their lives, and females will lose 1.5 years. Since the average American adult watches more than 4 hours per day, we might be expected to lose 3.3 years.

The bottom line? If you're active and eat properly, watching a little television probably won't hurt much. It's the years of couch potatoing that will.
