I don't really watch television programs

I am an avid reader and an avid tv watcher. I find that the activity I choose depends on my mood. For example, if I'm in the mood for some peace and quiet, then I'll pick up a book. However, if I want to be visually stimulated, then I'll watch tv. For me, one activity can't replace the other. I agree that the quality of (some) tv shows are rapidly declining, but I have built up my dvd collection of favorite movies and tv shows to be able to watch over and over again. I also have built up my book collection only with books that I want to re-read. In today's society, though, I'm afraid that reading books has become less appreciated. Now that there are e-books and audio books, and of course the competition with tv and video games, people just sitting back and enjoying a good book are becoming rarer. This thought truly saddens me because reading books provide such great mental stimulation and I think help people become more articulate and well-versed.

I read books and watch tv. Right now, there aren't a lot of tv shows I watch, but I'm very devoted to the ones I do. I don't really see tv and books as competing against each other. I just spent a few hours reading a new book because I didn't want to put it down until I got to the end. And, I'll re-read my old favorites tomorrow. And, watch DVD's of my favorite tv shows.

I don't even have my TV hooked up. I prefer to read books, and use my computer.

There aren't too many television programs that I really love to watch, but there are a few I like. I also read books quite a bit more than watching tv. I often have the tv on though, because I like having the background noise. I sometimes flip through channels when I'm bored and watch for awhile. There are one or two shows that I always want to watch when they are on, but other than those, I mostly prefer to read.

Wow. What's a book? I'm kidding, but I see where you're coming from. I do most of my reading online. I like a lot fan fiction stuff and I read books that people are in the process of being published. Plus I take the time to study up on my very own language classes. I'm learing about seven languages now online. I do have my selected TV shows that I can't stand to miss. Other than that I'm usually on the internet.

I watch TV only when I am having my dinner. I prefer reading books and surfing on the Internet more than watching those low-quality-TV-programs.
