How much television do you watch?

Hasn't this question allready been asked? It really depends on my mood. Sometimes I watch a couple hours a day, sometimes I spend the whole day in front of the TV, but most days, I watch little or no TV at all.

Not much at all really. I didn't have cable for two years, so I had 4 1/2 channels to choose from. I think this is when I developed my Antiques Roadshow fetish. Now that I'm living with the parental unit, I watch a bit more TV (they actually have cable) but there's still not much on. I much

very very little

I usually watch an hour or so a night after work, more on the weekends when I head out to my fiancee's...he's got satellite TV with a lot of channels that I really like (the Food Network, the movie channels, etc.).

Depends. . .sometimes a lot, sometimes almost none.

Tons (3-5 hours a day). I suck it up. Even the bad, cheesy made-for-TV movies on Lifetime. That said, I still read lots and consider myself an engage and articlulate person.

Since I don't own a TV, I hardly watch TV at all. The little I see is usually at my sister's house when I visit a few times a year and I usually go into the other room to read when it's on. I find it unbelievably stupid.

At least an hour, but usually 5-6 hours a day, easy.

None.

I don't have the television hooked up at my place but at my girlfriend's I watch maybe 8-10 hours a week. We mainly watch Comedy Central, the Game Show Network and Don't Try This @ Home (She thinks the host is cute).

Alias Irrelevante

I watch about 3 hours a night. Some of my favorites are The X-Files, The FBI  Files, Dr. Who, Maude, Star Trek, The Inside, The Sopranos, ARLISS!!, Lavern & Shirley, The Jeffersons and The Simpsons!

A couple of hours a day.

A heck of a lot less than I did when I was a kid. I honestly have no guess as to hours, but now it's not like oh this is on, gotta watch it. It's more a matter of oh look the TV, I'm bored of the net, it's hot as hell outside, watch the animal show for a while then find something else to do. And my b/f

I rarely watch t.v. When I do, I like to watch documentaries and movies.  I'd say I watch three or four hours a week if there's anything on that's worth seeing.

Too much, considering we don't even have cable TV. A couple of hours a night. I believe that this time could be much better spent making art, writing letters, eating a good meal (at the table), taking a walk. I am lured in by the garbage. A world without 90210? How can it be. I am one of those people who claims to watch with a critical eye, loving and

I watch the Today show in the morning and sometimes Oprah right after. I usually see some of the news around dinnertime. The only sitcom Iwatch religiously is 'Friends' (I know, that's pretty lame!). For some reason can't sit down and watch a whole drama - I get bored! I've never even seen a whole episode of 'ER'! I like the news shows a lot, like 'Dateline'. I  watch a little VH1 and I absolutely love 'E - Entertainment'. I have no idea

Simpsons and Futurama.  So, that's 1 hour a week for the 7-8 months they air new episodes. 28-32 hours a year.

I watch a lot more during the school year than I do in the summer. However,  many of the shows I watched got canceled for next year so maybe I won't be watching as much as usual. I'm ready to watch the Olympics though!!

Tracy, 24

The only shows I watch are Days of our Lives, Passions, Friends, Dateline, and MYOB.

Probably far too much. I don't watch as much television as most people, but there are certain programmes that I simply have to watch, no matter what happens.

Shanna, 15

Far too much I suppose. And I watch at least one movie a day.

Way too much!

I actually watch very little television, maybe two hours maximum each day, althought the television seems to be on constantly in my house.
