Do you watch T.V.?

Who has time for T.V! I might actually watch 0-1 hour a day. This changes if my hockey team is on though of course.

nope. no tv. waste of time!

Almost none, television is a trance inducing dumbinator.

1/2 hours everyday

Well, we were watching Rupert Bear (The Movie) that has not been filmed yet. These two guys banged on the door and shouted out that we were watching an illegal movie, and that the TV Licencing people had tracked us down. (in the UK you have to buy a TV Licence in order to watch anything)

Well, we were using Time Warp technology, so I said to the guy 'How can it be illegal if the films not made yet?' Our case comes up next Tuesday - they took the TV as evidence so we are watching a soap on the Washing machine.

Don't watch much T.V. (to much other stuff going on like school) But if I do its either Fox news or House.

I religiously DVR:

1) Lost
2) The Mentalist
3) Burn Notice

and my new favorite:

4) True Blood

I watch 'em when I feel like it, usually unwinding at night before I crash.

Other than that, I watch the local news as I eat breakfast and that's about it... ; )

Try not to watch more than an hour a day.

not as often as before. i just watch my fave series in youtube. TV ain't the trend in my life nowadays.

I watch a lot of T.V. but most of that is while playing the XBOX

I had a chip put into my TV so I couldn't tune into Faux News,
even by accident. <<< joking I have a TV tuner in one of the PCs
so if I want to I can tune in on the fourth monitor. Mostly there are only
four or five programs a week that I really like. "The Mentalist" "Bones"
"Cold Case" (Kathryn Morris is soooo hot.) and MSNBC.

I don't watch much tv but i like english tv series so i d/l and watch them on my pc.

I watch the news and and that about it, Other than a good sports mainly golf.

agreed its an idiot box, but I like being an idiot part of the time.

I dvr a few shows so I can watch them at my/our leisure. Mostly scifi.

We have what we call space ship nights - have dinner and sit around and watch BSG, and while it was on Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. I dvr Burn Notice and Dragon's Den but that's about it. I like wasting 44 mins rather than 60.

Here's a pic of us getting ready for spaceship night - we're waiting on another of our group to join us:

If the kids get their homework done and have played nice together they get to watch Disney for an hour each night. Otherwise I let me play using their imagination or read to them.

It surprises me how few of my (educated) friends read to their children - or how few book cases they have vs how many TVs....

Thank Gods for the DVR.....and DVDs (I'm re-reading the entire Dune saga so was nice to watch the scifi miniseries again)

--Jack

i usually watch tv with my kids...sometime we need relax isn't?

I have three shows that I like to watch.
"Fringe", "Eleventh Hour" and "Lost".

Only if the following are on...

Football game
Baseball game
Basketball game
Law and Order
Family Guy
The Simpsons
The News

Other than that...no TV for me...

Pavon

My TV is on a lot, but I think I'd have to say my TV watches me.

I'll make time for specific shows or movies but I won't sit and browse or "channel surf"

Other than that. Most times I just pop in a movie

Wow, I'm feelin' kinda silly.

I watch all kinds of fun shows that interest me.

Like the military channel, all the time!

I'm feelin' dumbed down, lol.

Yes! I watch TV. I watch TV only for information.

I just watch T.V. if I want to go to sleep, it really helps, in 5 min. of watching it I fall asleep. Lately is very rare when I see something that is worth staying awake.

For me, I always watch TV. But not as much as my husband do, he is a couch potato, he cannot live without a TV...haha! But i think it might be good for you to watch TV moderately because for me this is my stress buster.

I watch Sponge Bob with my son, just for some hangout time. We watch Tool Time reruns too - you know, reruns from the days when there was economic crisis.

Oh, and there's no high definition set at our house. The story line still comes out the same.

Rick

Deppends.
Usually I watch arround 3-4 hours per day.
But deppends of the day and what are in the tv

Thanks

I have the t.v. on sometimes while I am working but rarely watch it for anything save the weather on the news. Of course I am consumed with building my business to create a life for my daughter I only dreamed of as a child. I received some advice a couple of months ago that was sound(I still haven't been able to follow it yet). Work a couple of hours and then get away from your computer for 10 minutes. work a couple of hours and get away from your computer for 10 minutes. work half an hour and get away from your computer for 30 minutes. The result is in four and a half hours you will accomplish more than if you sit at your computer constantly. I really do intend to follow this advice, someday. LOL

I watch an average of 1 hour of Television per day; increased to around 4 hours on weekends.

The only time i watch TV is if i can learn something. If i could only have TLC and Discovery, i'd be happy. But i have to order all the other crap in order to get them.

I listen to TV while on the computer. I only watch the international markets on TV before I start my day - then watch a half hour of market news around lunch - then watch the closing market news for an hour. Business news is something more marketers need to watch... opportunities can be seen if you pay attention : )

i just unplugged my cable.. waste of time

Most of time on pc .Whether its work , movies whatever there is pc for all my needs .

I do, but I have specific shows that I enjoy watching. I try not to spend too much time just surfing and watching, as that can turn habitual =)

I watch a lot of laptop...
Lost, Prison Break and the like.

I watch TV about 2hours a day at most.Never have it on when I am working as this is a big destraction for me.

My wife and I love watching Heroes & House!

We probably watch 1-2 hours a day and some more on the weekend if we're renting movies.

Actually, I think TV makes your brain even more stressed out. Your body isn't moving, but your mind tries to keep up with everything on the screen... And after you finish watching, you feel like going to bed =)

The Mentalist
House
24
NCIS
CSI
American Idol
Dollhouse
Supernatural
Criminal Minds
Sarah Connor Chronicles

The only time I watch TV is when we are traveling.

We cancelled our cable because we never watch it at home.

To many other things to do. And if I do want to know something, I check on the computer.

I watch TV!

Usually in the evenings when I am not at work.

My Favorite shows are

1. House
2. The Office
3. True Beauty (season just ended)

My all time favorite is Friends! I own them all!!!

I also watch when my fav basketball team is on Kentuky Wildcats!

I watch TV about 4-5 hours a week. I also watch TV about an hour a day while I am walking on the tread mill. Some TV show is relaxing to watch.

I love watching T.V I'd say 5 hours during the week and 6-8 hours at the weekend.

I don't actually watch much television. When the new fall shows start, I probably watch 5 or 6 hours a week. Mostly I'm on the Internet these days.

I watch about 10 hours a week. Mostly rented movies as there not much on T.V. I like.

Regards,
Robert

No!! I don't watch tv. Instead I prefer to read books to spend my leisure time.

I don't even have cable.
It is a waste of money and time.

Do billionaires/multi-millionaires even have cable? I don't think they do because there's no time for it.
I want to follow their foot steps.

That first video is discusting. I gagged.
I'm not watching the second one. Too afraid...

I love watching the CSI series, they are so exciting! Never has crime been so cool.....

I love to watching T.V that's why i am watching T.V 2 to 3 hours daily..

no TV for me

No - I stopped watching totally about 2 years ago.

I surf the net.

only news and documents

We are not watching TV now because we don't have cable. I actually kinda miss a few shows like "The Universe" on the History channel.

Who has time? I watch the stuff when it comes on hulu or whatever, if there's a show I like, such as the Simpsons or Scrubs or something like that.

Basically, TV takes too much time already, why escape from the reality into a fictional reality that's just as stressful, when you can experience reality in ALL of it beautiful and terrible glory?

I watch TV to relax my body and mind from stress.

I usually watch tv after work because I want to be updated on news. And I find more comfortable watching news in tv than reading it on my computer.

Hi Christie!

It's awesome you combine TV watching with doing exercise. I wish I could make that work for me!

Several years ago I was a member of a gym that had positioned its treadmills by a TV that had a 24-hour cable new channel on. I could barely walk about a mile on the treadmill before getting completely sick of the channel. Soon thereafter I stopped going to gyms entirely and now spend an average of 3 to 4 hours a day outside either riding a bike or hiking during the Summer months and between 1 and 2 hours outside doing the same things in the Winter months. I do a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and use some free weights. Should I be going to a gym? From a health standpoint, I think I'm probably doing okay -- but a gym *does* provide a social component that I sometimes miss.

So how much TV do I watch? There are times I'll watch fascinating shows that really capture my imagination or that I find especially entertaining. I otherwise try and stay away from TV in general and instead push myself to get out and interact with people. I've been behind a computer for many, many years... I think I'm at that point where I'm happy to provide employment opportunities for those who enjoy doing various computer related tasks and just spending more time away from the TV and the computer as a whole. At some level, I could probably just be inside watching TV and being on the computer 24/7. There's a part of me that's okay with that. But there's another part that just yearns be outside and to have a lot of fun socializing with people in a non-virtual environment.

LOL -- That was an oddly long and winding reply to a simple question, wasn't it?! See, this is what I mean... I need to get out more.

I used to spent more time while doing schooling. But after getting into job i don have time to sit infront of time. Nowadays i used to spend hardly half an hour only.

2-3 hours per week of TV as such. For the rest, DVDs of all sort of things, and chosen programmes.
OD TV ala hulu.com is a blessing.

Ya, i regularly watch TV but only news channels.

yes, i watch news.

I watch more then average guy, thats for sure. I tend not to watch shows on my TV but on my Computer. I have list of shows I watch and sometimes its hard to keep up.

The list: Lost (loved the show), Dexter, Parks and Recreations, Community, The Office, Survivors (BBC Show, that was cancelled ), White Collar, Human Target, Leverage, How I met your mother, Unknown Persons, Covert Affairs, How to make it in America, Hung, House, Lie to Me, UFC Ultimate Fighter, Jersey Shore (I'm ashamed), The Real World, Simpsons, American Dad, Cleavland Show, Futurama and a couple of others that i can't put my finger on at this time. Is that too much....?

Yes I watch a ton of Television. I am into reality shows. not all of them but a lot. History channel, discovery, tlc, etc.

I went to sleep on the sofa and when I awoke I realized my TV was watching me....

I watch no tv at all, find it useless, however some people can really benefit off of it. Late at night especially.

I do but not really systematically with some purpose in mind. I do watch news, sports at times or some good movies while having dinner. But no, not regularly for sure.

watching TV is one of the things i dont do much anymore...

I usually have it on in the background when I'm working. If it's a show I really like, I will work during the commercials.

~Michael

Yes I do! At least 30 mins a day when I take my break.

not much....

I LOVE my TV. You know what they say about all work and no play...

I don't watch a ton of TV, but when I do, I enjoy my VUDU HD movies. Supposedly the largest collection of streaming HD movies anywhere. They have a good collection of documentaries I like to watch.

Last year I got the Xtreamer movie box, for all of my digital movies and I love it. It allows me to put my entire Blu-ray collection onto a hard-drive. And I'll also be first in line for the Boxee movie box

I wonder who doesn't

ATM i watch about 3 shows per week, it will be more when shows like House, Bones and Chuck come back but I have never been a big fan of TV, I would rather read a book

My wife and I canceled our cable a few months ago. We don't miss it. We've realized how much more time we have doing other things -- not to mention the fact that we don't miss any TV shows. Not only do we get to save $60 per month, we actually get more time to spend on more important things.

I don't watch TV for 3 years. I think that it's "zombie box". I watch only films and only on my computer.

I usually only watch news on TV for latest update.

I'm not a T.V fanatic, it just causes me stress by the way.

I love watching T.V, but due to my work load I only get 1 hour a day to watch with my family...
