Do you turn on the TV in the morning and leave it on all day?

Well, I am from India so I don't know about "The Young and Restless". I do watch TV but not that whole day, and I don't watch that kind of silly entertainments which you mentioned, here at India these kind of series is made targeting housewives they keep watching that kind of silly entertainment and sometimes working males also do watch that kind of entertainment. They keep talking about something like what you've said, I just hate that kind of entertainment, I think it's just waste of time.

Actually, 95% of the time, if I am not watching the TV I have to shut it off or I tend to become very aggravated by it. Plus, I prefer to just browse the internet all day instead, at least I can do a little bit of thinking that way :). And lately most TV shows just seem like a stupid waste of time; I wish TV was the way it used to be :|.

Mine is not on all day and I would watch Y&R if it was still on but they took it off a few years ago.....the *expletives deleted*.DOOL is still on and I watch that. It's one of the only daytime constants I have and it's an interest. I live in a remote community and there is not much to do other than housework and more housework. I watch a movie, then my program then the TV goes off till later in the day when I turn it on for the evening. I try to have other routines but I am constantly interrupted pretty well as soon as I start so I have given up on those ideas. A lot of people have Pay TV and the ones I know have it on all day...the same shows playing over and over throughout the week and they don't watch (I guess I just realised why they don't watch...it's because the show is on for the 15th time or something. One young family had a channel on showing gory hospital emergency scenes...with their little kids watching avidly. Another friend puts her child in front of the TV for most of the day. The day I was there was while some law show was on. The law show cut from the courtroom scene to a scene where a woman was rather graphically being violently raped. The child was watching, sitting very still, wide eyed and taking it all in and his mother did not even notice. I had said something previously about her giving the kid sweets to distract him and got a dirty look so I kept quiet. I don't like to visit people these days.

Hello, barehugs! For me it's not true. I watch TV a little, and shut it down as soon as I left. Keeping it all day on is a waste of money, you'll pay a large electric bill and your TV will be broken soon. I only watch news and TV shows on TV, as internet developed fast, a lot of things can be done on the internet, my TV is almost idle now.

Actually most of the time I am front of my computer watching animes. Our TV was always used by my younger sisters most of the time. We know that a TV running for a long time will really consume a lot of electricity. But as long as your happy watching shows or anything that caught your attention it doesn't really matter :D

hi its really waste of money by switching on television for whole day and giving money for electric bill as well as we will create health problem and can get obesity problem .watch television for a while and then switch off when no need and if u really want some entertainment while working listen to music

I don't watch TV very often. However, TV seems to my mom's main entertainment. So everyday when she wakes up, she will turn on TV even if she doesn't watch it. As long as she is at home, TV will be on almost all the time. This is already her habit. I love China

i dont turn on my TV for the whole day, it is whenever i am free and in a mood to have some entertainment i turn on the TV and also when my son wants to watch his cartoons i turn on the TV, or else i turn it off. yes there was a time when i use to follow all the serials and do watch it on time but now i dont find time to watch Tv as i am having a small kid and i need to take care of him always i have some or the other work at home and hence i am not able to remove time to watch TV.

Hello! My TV is on only when I watch it and it is very rarely. Usually there is nothing to watch very often we can see movies which had seen many times. I am not from people who fans about television. It is too crazy turn on TV to all working all day, but I know people who do it, Example my hairdresser. She makes haircut and watch TV also these TV is for visitors.

I am a housewife and I do have the TV on most of the day, but it is usually in the background, while I am on the computer, cooking, doing laundry and housework, etc. I do have a few programmes I sit down to watch and concentrate on like Doctor Who though. (I am in the UK.) I like having the News on a lot, so I can keep up to date with what is happening in the world.

Definitely not! That is a big waste of money and I'm not very fond of watching TV anyway. I have no idea why but it doesn't really appeal much to me.

sorry, it is a kind of wasting time and money,almost all of the people have to work , there is no time to watch tv.if there is a little time ,i like to watch sport news ,nba,football games ,but i will not spend all of my time on watching tv,if i like the programe indeed,i will down it over the net.

usually i dont waste time in front of tv. but in some days when i didnt have any mood to do anything, i used to sit behind the tv, and i also remember that , the days before i started to use internet, i have lost a lot of time by just viewing tv,and sometimes as you said , i had also wasted one whole day in front of it but not now

The past few months with me being at home pretty much all the time I tend to find that I leave the TV on pretty much most of the day. I completely hate silence when I'm alone. However, it doesnt mean that I always have tv shows on in the background as sometimes I have the radio on the tv or a music channel. Contrary to what a lot of other people have said I dont find it a waste of money as it keeps me entertained and feeling sane! I know a lot of people like me who dont like silence so will always have their tv on...even at night lol! I havent seen the young and the restless but I watch so many tv shows. However, during the day I tend to find a lot of its rubbish so I end up watching repeats of Friends, Smallville, Scubs, Everwood, One Tree Hill, Will & Grace etc.

Hi barehugs, I don't turn the tv in my bedroom after getting up in the morning. I used to this earlier when I don't possess my private laptop. I kept the tv on the whole day when at home. I like music airing the whole day. I feel comfortable to have music when busy with household chores. I usually watched my favorite programs after having dinner in the evening. At the moment I work on my laptop. I enjoy all kind of amusement that I could acquire from internet at the same time. It's really handy listen music and watching tv program online. I really indulge in watching hong kong tv series Happy posting

hi barehugs I do not even have a TV as I am stuck in this retirement center but they have two huge screened tvs here one in the activity room,.the other in the visitors lounge that are on all day. I am up her mow I have mycomputer and monitor back and on the net. its much more fun for me than most televsion programs can be. I did watch that dancing show on television until I got my computer and CSI I really love and some medical shows I liked. but now I have my computer again and its a different love for me and mylottingof course too. I am in Ca in the US by the way.

Before leaving the room I make sure to look at the TV and the lights if they are still on, will switch off. This is not a good idea, we should try to save power as much as we can, try to use natural light as long as possible and less electricity, this way we will help environment as well as some saving. Go Green.

For me no I never do that it is a BIG waste of money. Actually I don't watch t.v if there is no good or great movies and anime to watch. I do watch some t.v series but only 2 t.v program and it took only about an hour to watch it. But when I was I kid honestly I do watch t.v the whole day because of cable television I can watch lots of anime and cartoons, I really love those kind of tv program. And now that I am kinda grow up I never get hooked on watching t.v I prefer to read manga and watch movie online or surf in the internet and play some online games.

yes i do that, especially when the kids are already in school. i can't bear the sound of silence at home. so what i do is turn on the TV even when i'm not watching just to create a little pleasant noise at home.

No.. It Will Cause your bills higher than you expected
