Who has the patience?

Yes, watching a video will work for me. Like you, hubby tends to turn on the tv as soon as he gets home, even if he's not really watching. Me, I never turn it on LOL

It's kinda silly for me as I actually 'watch' very little tv - it's sound in the background, seems I would listen to the radio or cds but I don't, something about looking up from the computer screen from time to time and seeing 'faces' :)

Yes, I do the same thing when hubby has the tv on. Just glance at it over the monitor. But if he's not home, I don't even remember about turning the tv on.

LOL I am there with you hehe

ALways twins LOL I'm not that great for tv either, but even worse with such awful programing. I usually don't even turn the tv. It's hubby when he comes from work that does the honors, but I did today and was really amazed at how many programs can run at the same time LOL

I meant to say "how many BAD programs can run at the same time " just my fingers having a mind of their own hehe

Or you could say...count on your fingers how many good shows are on and you'll have a few fingers left over!

Anything - in my opinion only, of course - is more creative and interesting than watching day time television. I'm ok with watching a program or two at night, specially since it's a time to site down with hubby, but never again will I turn it on during the day LOL

I agree with you that watching TV in someone's company is better than watching it alone at day time. There are other creative things to do.

Yes, one is certainly better off purchasing cds from old sitcoms and shows. Because what they have now is a crime. I often compare this to when back home we had a dictatorship. I know people call me crazy, but we used to have the same kind of mindless programs and soccer matches etc on tv. The idea being if you get so involved in those silly shows you won't really be thinking about your reality. You won't be studying anything new. You won't be able to educate yourself. And you won't be able to fight us, or even realize what we're doing long enough to get upset. That's how I feel about it now it's better to keep people ignorant and living their lives trough the lives of their favorite shows and stars in those shows. I beats the c*ap out of looking into our lives and see the mess the world is in. OH well......

I completely agree with you. It's so much like that. I prefer to get my videos and re-watch them :)

Both my kids are cops so I hear what goes on in that world all the time..I worry about them daily, so I sure as heck don't want to spend time watching it on TV!! I watch the news and see it all, I sure ain't gonna sit in front of the tv and watch more! Especially since it all turns out "find and dandy and everyone is happy and all is right with the world at the end of the hour, all crimes solved" when in real life.. it isn't. IF it isn't killing and crime and murders.. it is about s*e*x on both drama and sitcoms and after watching it constantly... it's like I've done it all day.. don't want to do it anymore!!! And if not those two... it is reality... that started out okay and interesting.. not scripted and ordinary people instead of the self righteous made up, perfect people the stars are these days...but that went into over drive and now they are just getting stupid. Then theres the action and blood guts and gore of action and thrillers...sorry, seeing a guy being blown up multiples times and still just walking away with a fwe scrapes, is just a stupid waste of time. ANd the gore from thrillers...just don't see how anyone could enjoy watching that. I like to watch TV for the entertainment aspect. I don't want to have to pay so close attention I dont' miss something, I want to laugh, I want to enjoy the show and I want to think about it much..I want my mind to rest and relax while I watch something good, fun and entertaining. That just isn't happening in the TV world today.. so since the past had it, and the past is accessible in this case.. I will travel to the past and have a ton load of fun, entertainment, laughs, giggles, and even some silliness and just enjoy the show!

Hubby is the tv watcher in our home. I don't really pay much attention, but sometimes he finds some nice programs. he likes historical programs and II world war programs, so I actually end up watching some of those. But during the day???? Never again LOL

Don't get me wrong. There are good programs in here, but mostly in the evening. During the day .... not so good. Or at least not the ones we have. We are saving money because we're sharing with my inlaws and cut out satellite bills, but this means that we only have the channels they choose. I'm sure that there might be some good daytime programs, we just don't have them I guess.

I thought Canadian tv was much better than American tv along with the British tv. I kept hearing that non stop for a while. A least you have some nice history shows that you can enjoy.

Usually don't turn the television on until the evening news

Well, you're not missing much, I can tell you that:) This was the first time in many years that I watched daytime tv and I don't think I will do it again for a long ... long time LOL

ANd you are a very wise woman. There really isn't anything in there that is worth the time. At night, there are a few series that I like to follow, but if Idon't it's fine for me too :)

I suppose it can be a way to kill boredom. But personally I prefer to kill my boredom in any other way. I really didn't like my experience with day time television LOL
