How much television do you watch? - Page 2

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.

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

TV - less than 1 hour/day on average

Computer - >10 hours/day on average

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
