Be honest! :D

<font color="lightgreen"> Not much since we got ADSL.. maybe 2 hours a week. Before we got ADSL though, I would watch 2 hours an hour. </font>

Melusine 01-17-2002 05:35 AM

Not much. We only put it on for about half an hour during dinner, and watch Star Trek or a sitcom. Apart from that, we only ever use it for watching rented movies.

Epona 01-17-2002 08:14 AM

Mmmm. Not much. A look at my schedule will indicate why....

7am - get up, put TV on for budgie, shower, brush teeth, dry hair, feed budgie, feed parrot, change birds water, play with parrot, talk to budgie.
8am - turn TV off (having not watched it) and leave for work.
9am-5.30pm - work
6.30pm - get home, put TV on for budgie, say hello to parrot, change birds water, feed birds (cooked pasta, rice or potato, steamed or raw veg, chopped fruit), feed myself.
7.30pm - watch Eastenders
8pm - let parrot out for play & exercise (supervised), scritch parrot, put parrot on playgym, retrieve parrot from head, repeat several times.
9.30pm - put parrot in cage, clean parrot cage
10pm - put parrot to bed, play with budgie, clean budgie cage
11pm - put budgie to bed. Fall asleep while watching 'Emergency Vets' on cable.
12pm - admit defeat - turn TV off and go to bed.

So no, I don't watch much TV [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not much at all. If I eat at home I look at the TV when I eat.. Otherwise I use it with my DVD to play music or DVD movies, the occasional video. But TV programs here are really really.. (bad word) here. So Nah, I prefer to read a book or be online..

Sir Byronas 01-17-2002 08:32 AM

I usually watch about 2 hours a day. Not to much...

Manwe 01-17-2002 11:12 AM

I watch tv maybe 1-2 hours a day, sometimes less if i have a good book to read.

J'aran 01-17-2002 11:20 AM

Late at night I like to zap past every channel for an hour or so, watching a snippet here and there. Helps me relax, clear my mind.
Otherwise I like to see a good movie every now and again. I think I watch about 2 - 2.5 hours a day.

Redblueflare 01-17-2002 12:51 PM

Not much here either. Maybe an hour every day. Most of my free time is spent in reading and videogames.

adam warlock 01-17-2002 01:21 PM

well... Tv: about 2-3 hours every other day
BUT.... Computer Monitor: 5-8 hours per day

Sorcerer Alex 01-17-2002 01:30 PM

Maybe three or four hours a week. I used to watch it very often, but now it just bores me. The only channels I watch are Discovery and National Geographic.

Blind_Prophet 01-17-2002 03:49 PM

I probably watch 1 to 2 hours a day but only comedy central or if there is a movie on showtime or HBO.

Thoran 01-17-2002 04:11 PM

TV - less than 1 hour/day on average

Computer - >10 hours/day on average

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe 01-17-2002 08:47 PM

I dont watch TV unless its a movie. I just hate sitcoms and reality shows. I mean I guess ill watch someold SNL episode on comedy central and of course the simpsons and sometimes(if i'm in the right mood) south park, but other than that my television is reserved exclusively for movies & video games

Lord Killjoy 01-17-2002 10:02 PM

TV maybe 2 hours

Monitor maybe 10 hours

GOD! I'm gonna go blind

Debaser 01-28-2002 10:18 PM

TV tends to piss me off. commercials, mainly.
there are a few select shows that i actually make some kind of effort to watch. the Simpsons, Family Guy, the Sopranos, Oz, maybe some stuff on comedy central sometimes.
i'd much rather play video games though. TV is highly disappointing and very often infuriating.
MTV can burn in hell.

Scholarcs 01-29-2002 02:17 AM

None. Unless there is something I really want to watch on, which doesnt happen often.

Same here, minus the rented movies as I don't have a VCR. Oh, and sometimes I turn my tv on if there's a good alternative music program on one of the music channels, but mostly for "background music" purposes. ;)

catzenpewters 01-29-2002 03:40 PM

Hmmm maybe 8 hours per week? There are definitely some shows I hate to miss... occasionally more is a good movie or mini-series or something is on.

GokuZool 01-30-2002 04:41 AM

In one day...probably on average, an hour or so. Depending if a movie is on, or if I have somthing good to read as Manwe said.

Kill your television!!!!

Lioness 02-16-2002 09:20 PM

Hardly at all..maybe an hour or two a week.

Barry the Sprout 02-17-2002 07:23 AM

I only watch movies on TV. Maybe 4-5 hours a week in total on rented movies with friends. But I don't have a tv myself so I would have to use the hall of residence one to watch anything if I wanted to. So normally me and my friends don't bother. Too much effort to persuade everyone else to watch what we want to.

Neb 02-17-2002 07:27 AM

Maybe 1 hour per week, not more.
