How much TV?

[Sandman]

I picked none, it's closest to the half hour per week I watch.

Just can't be bothered with TV at all. For every serious programme there'll be twenty idiotic shows like Celebrity Bum Surgery Live or Celebrity Tree Surgeon on Ice.

[Harovan]

Added together it must be about an hour per week, mostly news while I'm eating, and even then I rarely pay full attention. Picked none.

[Lorizael]

This would be hard for me to approximate. I picked two hours a day. My housemates watch a lot of cartoons - Adult Swim, South Park, The Simpsons - and I tune in for some of those.

The only shows I watch with any regularity right now are the Daily Show and The Colbert Report, because I have to get my daily dose of liberal brainwashing in order to stay intelligent.

When's it not summer I watch new episodes of my science fiction shows: Battlstar Galactica, Stargate (no more), Heroes, Smallville. I'll be adding Journeyman and possibly Bionic Woman onto that list come fall if they turn out well.

about three hours a day. except for 10 minutes of weather, news, a ball game or an occasional show, it's usually just used as background noise while I eat, read or play on the computer.

[Arrian]

It fluctuates. During baseball season, I watch nearly every Yankee game, and that's 3+ hours nearly every day right there (actually we flick between that, the Red Sox game).

With no baseball to watch, I still probably watch a couple hours a day on average. Sometimes there is a decent movie on, and I do like the Discovery channel/TLC/National Geographic/etc.

Btw, I don't understand the whole tv on in the background thing. If the TV is on, I'm concentrating it. If I'm not concentrating on it, it's noise. Maybe I'm just not very good at multitasking.

I said an hour

The TV may be on a little more when I am around ( like my son- age 4-- gets a half hour show before bedtime) but there's only about an hour a day I watch anything on average . But I never watch ANYTHING live any more. We use our PVR to skip all commercials and even to skip boring parts of shows. I find I can almost fit three "half-hour shows" into one hour.

A lot of my TV watching is in the very early morning and while I am watching, I am probably also surfing the net at the same time

[Nikolai]

I watch very little TV. Some days I don't watch it at all, other days I see a couple of programs and some music.

[Proteus_MST]

I think around an hour per day sums it up nicely, I only see some series once every week and the occasional movie or documentary here and there.

[germanos]

No hours and no TV in the house (by choice).


I had wasted so many ours sitting behind the TV while I was a student, I decided not to replace it when it died.

After a few months of going ´Cold Turkey´, that where admittedly quite bad, I´ve not regretted it since.

[Traianvs]

I'm a student, don't have a tv and can't be bothered to get one and pay for cable.
I do miss a good movie or some good documentaries though, they're education and entertainment put together, which is great!

[Bkeela]

I laugh at the people who watch no TV. Behind their responses I sense a huge weight of self-righteous pleasure.

My fondest memories of childhood are watching TV shows like Sesame Street, The Brady Bunch and Lost in Space.

I like TV because it keeps your attention occupied while other parts of your brain can subconsciously process things or just relax. I've often sat down to a TV show with a problem and been astonished at the end to have the problem figured out.

I was recently very sick with the flu - bed ridden for about a week. I was deeply grateful for my TV.

[ZEE]

Well...

I do not watch TV any more.

EXCEPT to watch the Seattle Seahawks or the Orlando Magic play. THAT is the only exception.

I can't imagine there being 2 worse reasons to watch TV.

Except maybe, the Detroit Lions and L.A. Clippers.

ACK!

[MrFun]

The AVERAGE for me in a typical week is a half hour a day, and sometimes less than that.

When there is something particularly interesting on, such as a documentary or movie, I will watch one to two hours on that day.
