Be honest!

Not much since we got ADSL.. maybe 2 hours a week. Before we got ADSL though, I would watch 2 hours an hour.

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.

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
