hi everyone! do you have a bad TV habit? you see, i am not very much into opening the tv set myself. but when somebody starts watching and i join him or her, most of the time, i would be left as the last one watching and i would have difficulty tearing myself from the tube. and then i would watch for hours on end. well, this use to be my habit. thank God i am so totally out of it. or else i would be wasting more time in my life. right now, i would rather ptp...where i am earning, hehe i think that is a better use of my time than watching TV. so what about you? are you like this? do you also have a bad TV habit? good day all and God bless you! :)

I have several television programs that I like to watch. I don't die when I can't see them, and I don't normally tape them when I miss. I know some that will not go out to dinner, a movie or have company on certain nights of the week at specific times because they will miss their programs. I like alot of the detective shows: NCIS, Law and Order and The Closer.

HEHE I don't watch television myself but then if someone else is then I will. I tend to no watch for weeks on end then one night I will sit there for hours and hours watching til the wee hours of the morning. I had a really bad TV habit when I first got cable after 7 years with no television. I watched forever! I would not want to turn it off. I felt that if I was paying $30 a month I wanted to get my money's worth. LOL Now I pay $42 a month for basic cable and I never watch. LOL Once the kids go so does the tv. HEHE

Oh yes, I always watch tv when I get home from work in the evening. I just lay on the bed and watch the tv programs i like until past midnight. Sometimes I fall asleep and the tv is still on. I also sometimes do mylotting while watching tv but I can't concentrate a lot on myLot, so most often I can't post any response to a discussion. I just read some discussions posted, so nothing earned...hehe

Hello spoiled311, I seldom have time to watch TV but when I do have bad habits too. I don't like people to disturb me whenever I am watching my favorite program and I love to snack while watching TV. Since I seldom have a chance to spend in front of the tube, I manage to get rid of my bad habits gradually. I hope they won't come back!

hello! I'm glad I don't have that bad habit. and glad we don't have cable tv or else I just might have a bad habit to fight with. The reason why I don't have that habit is because I don't really enjoy most of the shows on our local stations. I only watch the shows that I like. I used to follow every episode of smallville, but somehow I've lost my zeal for the show. And mostly, as long as i didn't see the start of the show, or get to see 2-3 minutes of it, I don't get glued to the tv.

Yeah, I must say that is one habit I will not give up on! Unfortunately, most of my favourite programes come late when many people in the house want to sleep, so I end up remaing alone in the living room watching!
