I don't get to watch a lot of television as it airs. I always tape everything that I want to watch and then I'll watch it later that night after the kids get to bed. It probably equals to about an hour each day that I watch television. How many hours of TV do you watch each day?

Nothing wrong with that. Maybe I need to spend more time here too. No wonder I can't seem to make payout.

I watch too much, but I always mute the commericals. I can tell when my kids are watching the boob tube because they watch the commericals, they actually want to buy what the tv is selling. I watch about 3 hours of tv but its a lot of different channels, I spend more time writing and watching movies than anything else.

Kids love commercials don't they? They want to have whatever it is they see on those commercials. I feel like I always hear "but mom, it's ONLY $19.99".

Not more than 30 minutes, if it is for news. If there is some good movie which I have not seen, then only I watch tv.

No I am never a tv buff. Mostly I am on my computer for my official works and other online activities.

Recently, I only watch TV about two hours a day. I prefer to surf the internet rather than watching TV. Because I think I could do much more things I like on the internet.

I don't watch any regular television anymore really. Any occasional movie. The kids watch a lot of DVD's, but we don't have cable so that is about all they get. They do get a few hours of movies a day.

I think you are probably better off without the cable. Too many choices.

I have more times sitting in front of the TV than you, about 2 hours per day at average. I have to work in Monday to Friday. So I can not have much time to watch TV.But I will make sure to have some time to watch the TV news because this can make myself updated with the outside world. I can know what is happening in the world.

I don't even think I get to see the news much either. The kids are always talking. Sometimes I will watch the late news though.

It's on alot but I don't watch it as much as the kids do. I wish our yard was more shady than it is & they would not want to play at high noon when the sun is at it's highest in the sky. Usually if anythng I listen to whatever they are watching while I"m doing whatever.

I never really sit and watch much with my kids either. I do keep an ear open in case I don't like the show they're watching.

Well the television is almost always on but, I probably watch maybe an hour and a half of it a day. Some days more some less it really just depends on what I have to do for the day. Each of the children have their own television in their room with cable so I don't have to share with them.

I have my tv always on, but rarely sitting in its front with focus. I come and go around for cleaning, cooking, onlining, etc. That is my way of watching tv. The only time I focus is for a good movie, say, for an hour or so.

I do that too sometimes. Just need some background noise while I clean.

I also now DVR the things that I want to watch and watch them after the family is in bed. I suppose if you were to average out my television watching it is about 1.5 hours per day. It used to be a whole lot more but now I am more interested in the computer and most of the shows on TV just aren't all that interesting to me. I really like to watch Discovery Health shows and I am absolutely itching for the new season of The Biggest Loser to start.
