Could You Spend 15 Hours A Day Watching Television email this discussion to a friend?

Please please tell me there must be other people out there, somewhere, in this big wide world that actually sits and watches 15 yes this is NOT a typo 15 hours, that's fifteen hours of television in a day?What is your first thought after reading that, shock? a shrug? Speechless? Stunned?

Well believe me, I can't work it out either, because that is exactly what my father does!

From the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to bed he is stuck in front of the goggle box! The only time he moves is to go to to the toilet, I joked that we should get him a commode for Christmas then he wouldn't have to miss anything!Take this morning he got up at 8.30 the first thing he did was to, yes you've guessed it turned the television on and it'll be on constant until 11.30 tonight, so that is 15 straight hours of doing nothing else but watching tv

Is it any wonder why his wife has given up on him?What a waste, so does anyone else you know or live with watch this amount of television in a day?I wouldn't mind but most of it is what I call junk and I think he's one big giant couch potato!

really?...i just can't believe that there is such a person that watch tv for like 15 hours...i mean, i can't take it watching tv for 10 hours...before when i was in high school, during school vacations i watch tv for like 10 hours, and at the end of the day, i feel weak and so tired...so i changed my routine and would do something else on school holidays and would just watch tv for a few hours...

Gosh, that's amazing! Do you live with your Dad? What does he do for a living? Watching that much TV is so bad for the eyes too, to say nothing about the other dangers. Well, anyway, TV is not for me. I can hardly stand one hour of it. About ninety percent of it is commercials anyway. Your idea of getting a commode is hilarious!! Wish you a merry X'mas!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (11444)   ranked 9 out of 3,739 in watching television  10 months ago

Yes I do live with him and he's retired. I can only stomach an hour of it then I get restless, I could quite easily live without the tv! I will watch movies but like you can't stand commercials.

No I cannot spend 15 hours watching TV. It is maximum 6 to 8 hours in a day that I can watch TV. I have known such couch potatoes and those are mostly people who have retired and thus spend most of their time in front of the tv. I also know of a couple of depressed souls who do this kinda think.

Hello wolfie

Fifteen hours of television is quite a lot of television. I don't think I could do it, at least not on a regular basis. I may have had a couple of days in my life where I watched television all day, but even then, not for fifteen hours. I remember once I watched 'The Planet of the Apes' all day, but I was sick. Anotheer time I watched movies all day because there was a blizzard outside and I couldn't go out. Again, I don't think it was for fifteen hours.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (11444)   ranked 9 out of 3,739 in watching television  10 months ago

Well dad does, day in day out, that would drive me cuckoo! I think the average I watch tv for in one day is two and that's at a push! I can take it or leave it to be honest. Planet of the Apes was that with Charlton Heston?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Transdisc (14791)   ranked 3 out of 3,739 in watching television  10 months ago

I don't watch television either, except for about a half hour a day when I watch the news, if that. I used to watch it for an hour at night, but I don't anymore. I'd rather listen to music.

There was a movie, Planet of the Apes, with Charleton Heston, but the Planet of teh Apes maratho I watched was the television series that was on in the 1970's. One Saturday when I was sick, I they showed all of these shows in a series and i watched them all. (I can't remember if Heston was in them, wolfie.)

Thanks Trans, I did do a marathon on Malcolm in The Middle which I love, Sky did back to back episodes, a while back now, it was therapy at the time because I was having a bad time of it with the ex

Trans,

Its one thing to watch tv when you aren't feeling well, but its another thing to do day after day after day.

I can't find much on tv that I really like to watch outside of cooking shows, TLC, History, discovery, and maybe the occasional movie.

Most of the time when I watch movies, I do so to fall asleep. As watching a movie, especially one I like, relaxes me enough to fall asleep.

Mooch

It is completely nonsense to watch to TV 15 hours a day........i am sure i will get mad if i do that ever ..........i think 2 to 5 hours are enough for watching tv in a day .........

 
7. myLot reputation of 86/100. razcal2267 (7907)   ranked 6 out of 3,739 in watching television   10 months ago

I could not actually watch 15 hours of television but some might think I watch that much or more. I always have my television on but am rarely ever really watching it. On the days I am at home it could be on at least 15 hours.

that long??? wow. is your father wearing a thick eye glasses?? LOL or does he even take a bath?? LOL

i don't know if i can watch tv that long. i haven't tried it. i watched straight for a couple of hours and have stopped either because there's nothing more good to watch or i have something else important to do. hmmm... lemme see.. i have done tv marathons of tv series that i like but i don't think i reached 15 hours watching it. as i've said, there would be something else important to do. but i think i can do that 15 hours as long as i'm watching a show i love and nothing and no one would disturb me.^__^

i wouldn't be surprised if you father has vision problems.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (11444)   ranked 9 out of 3,739 in watching television  10 months ago

He only needs glasses to read not to watch tv with! Otherwise he has good sight!

Don't worry your not alone, my boyfriend actually does that. He is unemployed right now because of it being winter time and he just sits around the tv ALL DAY LONG and watches it. I dont understand how he can do it but he does........


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (11444)   ranked 9 out of 3,739 in watching television  10 months ago

It's when it affects other people, it becomes a major problem, thanks for your response, welcome to Mylot.

Wolf that is so sad.....
are poor father must have nothing better ..... so he lives his life through the characters that he watches each day..... they need to get them interested in something else.... if television has become the big habit you probably will not be able to drag him away....
