I know lots of people who watch TV every day. It seems like people mostly watch reality TV shows but they also watch game shows, soap operas, etc. I've tried watching TV, but I can't understand why people watch it. Do you like TV or do you hate it? What kinds of shows do you watch?

Of course i like TV. It's my best friend when i get bored. I love to watch funny cartoons and action movies. But not all the time i watch TV, I only turn on our TV when i have nothing to do and specially now that I'm studying, I seldom watch TV. Because it gets my attention, so I'm trying to avoid it.

I think maybe a lot of people watch TV because they have nothing to do. But, there's a lot of things to do when there's nothing to do, like reading a book or going online. So why do people choose to watch TV instead?

Law and Order: SVU, House, Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Big Love, Dexter, True Blood. Cartoons are pretty much anything shown on [adult swim]; Family Guy, American Dad, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I also like Community, 30 Rock, Outsourced, Big Bang Theory. I'm probably forgetting a lot more. I watch a lot of TV lol.

I love TV and I hate TV. TV is one of my favorite amusement medium, TV is one of my most dislike media. Why I have such contradiction? When I watch Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, National Geography, History, Travel and Live sports, I think how informative and full of amusement and learning media a TV is. But when I see that people are watching music and Dance, serials I hate it. So, what is my favorite it may be others disgusting and vice versa. Generalization is unfair my friend.

Thanks jumesbond. It is true in my house also. Except myself all are interested in live show, opera and movie. But when I switched on my shows I noticed that the other members are watching it and making comments, good comments, on it.

I agree. I love informative shows also. I guess when I think of TV, though, I think of reality shows and not of informative shows because most people I know watch reality shows and soap operas. For some reason it seems that everyone likes those shows better than informative shows.

TV depending on how you use this source of technology can either be entertainment or you can use it for learning. Some use it as a companion not really watching it just having the noise. Lately I have been watching old series like Charmed, NCIS and others like that. I also watch channels that teach me to paint or draw. That is helping me develop techniques for my drawing. I have also watched other shows to learn new things.

I'm one of those people that tends to use the TV for noise. :) I feel like I can't focus when it's too quiet. That's true that people can use TV to learn. That's nice that you're learning to paint and draw!

I don't hate TV. TV is for entertainment (apart from other purpose like education and such) and I love entertainment. Of course I can watch some of the show online but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV with my family. That way it's more enjoyable. My computer monitor is not big enough to enjoy the show with my family.

Yes, it's nice to be able to watch shows together with other people. I want to hook up the computer with the TV so that we can watch shows from the internet on the TV together with friends or family.

I always like television because it is the way for us for entertainment. And also when we feel bored from anything then we can watch any programs on television. So I always like television. Because it is the way for me to watching cricket matches because I am not able to go to stadium for watching live cricket match so I always enjoyed matches on television.

I'm in a neutral position when it comes to TV. Nowadays -and in the past too, to tell you the truth- TV programs aren't specially entertaining, so when I turn on TV I tend to turn it off soon, because I get bored short after. I get more entertained by the videos that you can find in Youtube. Maybe when people aren't getting money and a big team to make the video they put a bigger effort and that's why it's more entertaining.

The only shows I really watch are Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, Sponge Bob, Venture Bros, and Fringe. I was watching Heroes but I am waiting for the next season to come out on DVD. I don't even know if they are still airing lol I guess for kids, any more than 2 hrs a day can actually cause emotional problems. I have cut my kids's TV time way back but I think they still watch just over 2 hrs on some days. Being a daddy is hard man! Mostly, I watch stuff online. I am on waaayyy too much though.

Well, I guess I don't hate TV, but sometimes it bothers me because I can't enjoy shows that are supposed to be enjoyable. Sometimes I'll try to watch a show and I'll start getting bored and wanting to do something else. But I guess there may be many other programs on TV that I don't know about that I could enjoy. I don't know a lot about what programs are on TV other than what I see other people watching.

I hate the TV right now since they give so much reality shows and if they give a movie, it's always the same movie they played for 3 times a week. So I hardly watch TV. I only watch TV is when I eat dinner and I only watch the local and national news. Other than that I don't want anything else. I spend more time on the internet, playing videos, or reading.

Watching TV when you're eating is a good time to watch TV. That way you're relaxed when you're eating. I also spend more time on the internet or reading than watching TV.

Wanting to know what will happen next is not a bad reason to want to watch TV. :) Naturally everyone is at least a little curious to see what will happen next in any situation.
