Is anyone else a backseat television watcher?

@Itsonlyadream - When my mother visited, she went to sleep when we also decided to sleep and we turned off the TV. She was very quiet, I cannot sleep if there is even a very little noise.

I love a nice quiet house. It gives me plenty of time to think. The T.V. becomes a distraction. The more I watch T.V. the less I want to write. It saps my creativity and I think it would do the opposite. Spark it with a new energy.

When my mother came up our house to visit she loved going to sleep with the radio on. My wife and I are so use to a quiet house. Because our house is small we would lay awake and say I can't sleep. We would talk for awhile until we got tired and fell asleep. When I was younger I could watch T.V. all the time. Then when I started working it changed everything. I wanted to get up and do things than spend hours behind the T.V. I realized as much as I watched it was funny and later I couldn't tell you what I even watched. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

So many people love sports and there are so many games on all the time. I never was a big sports fan so I would find other things to do. I hope to do surveys like you. I think it is time better spent. I hope to carry over that excitement to my writing and then it will not only be fun but interesting and thrilling to see an underdog win.

@Itsonlyadream I am in agreement with you.

We have a constant give and take. We like many of the same things. I can spend hours reading and dreaming of the next best thing. She is more the planner and more organized. Down to earth and practical. We have a good balance.

It is always good to share things with your husband. Sometimes a half an hour is better than four hours. My wife likes her cooking shows and the home improvement series. They are both good I would rather be writing than dreaming. So I catch a little here or there.

@Itsonlyadream Action shows with crime. Blue Bloods and all of the NCIS shows.

I am curious what type of programs do you watch? We watch mostly old sitcoms. Then my wife finds a new program and here we go again. A new series and a whole new adventure.

We all have busy lives. Sometimes just a taste of something is enough to keep us interested and then we are able to go on to do other things. Thanks for sharing. Mother and daughter time is the greatest.

I think it is great when married couples share together time and also have things they like to do alone. This makes both of you happy.. Thank you for sharing.

She can have it. There are too many stations for me to watch. I could watch C.S.I. 's non stop. Then any other program at anytime. Never mind the endless amount of movies and old sitcoms.
