Do you watch TV anymore?

I watch out of the corner of my eye. 85% of my concentration is on the computer screen.

i never really watch it, i try and watch the show trucks and horsepower tv,everything else is just a bunch of reality crap, at 17 years old i know that this stuff is shallow,so it saddens me that full blown adults dont realize this.

Oh, and on a side note there is a great show on the history channels modern marvels called the history of pickup trucks, its a great show so look for it they play it quite often.

For the most part the only things I watch are the 5am news before work and when I get home at night, usually around 8 or 9 pm. My wife and I meet at around 5pm or so at the house after I pick up our Son on the way, we eat dinner and then go out to the horses, so I really have no time to watch any.

I really don't like much on TV anymore.. just violence and mindless chatter. I would rather read a book or talk to somebody...

Only have one TV in the house , i have two DVD players , one for our region and one for your region ( so i can get DVD's form the States and watch them ) a video and a digital cable , with surround sound .

Hardly watch it !
IRL racing and the odd DVD , TV is pretty much rubbish, except for Discovery , there is some good stuff on that .

I prefer the computer as a source of enterainment, it's a bit more interactive...

It just seems that all there is now on TV is so called *reality* TV which is you sitting doin nothin , lookin at people sitting there doin nothin , and someone figured that this is *enterainment* .... rubbish....

I havnt watched TV in 3 years ever since we moved over to europe. There shows are gay, they have bad taste and most europeans on the TV look gay, Europe is really behind in time. They still ride bikes here that look like the ones from the Wizard of Oz "the witches bike"

Im 19 and havnt seen a show in 3 years, i couldnt even tell you whats going on in the world. I cant stand to watch it anymore, just full of crap. The only time worth while to watch is on Early saturday morning on TNN when all the fishing, hunting, and car shows come on. Thats it, TV is crap.

Mainly watch just the news......oh, and feeding my total addiction to the Discovery Channel. Can't get enough of that station.......American Chopper, Extreme Engineering, that kinda stuff. Love to watch awesome stuff get built like that. Plus it's much less tiring to watch someone else do it than to actually get off my butt and go do something myself. Jesse James gives me all kinds of ideas for the truck........
