I catch up with the tv no matter what happens and how the schedule might be and the programs just keep flipping up again and again and i am glued to it.In the weekends i spend most of the time watching tv and having fun and i really love it because to see celebrities and their lifestyle.More tv viewing is also hazardous.I am trying but i cant prevent it.tv is making us get addicted and lazy

Hi natilegleb.. Well I also watch television programs not on television though but over the internet. I do agree with you that the television shows are very entertaining and hard to resist. But when I compare them with the utility that I would get by doing other things like hanging out with friends or going out with family.. Then I realize that televisions are made only for entertainment when you have nothing good to do. Anyways have a nice day... -=SuperShames=-

Having nothing good to do? Thats the farthest from how I feel about TV. I understand about not wanting to watch TV on the computer though, I do both.

Hi lucyalicia. Well it depends from person to person. I love socializing with people. So I would prefer hanging around with friends and doing nothing than watching television at home. It might not be the case with you. As I said it depends from person to person. Have a nice day ...

I used to be a bit of a TV junk, but I got bored by it. Now, I would watch some good films, talent searcher shows, and occasionally some quiz shows and TV series, but not too many TV shows can keep me in front of the TV anymore.

Then your not watching the right one's. Parenthood, Mad Men, The Killing, The Middle, Breaking Bad, Peep Show, to name some current programs that are great. There's plenty of excellent TV out there still, and you could always watch older series. I just started to watch Everwood and it's fantastic.

Ha ha, it sounds as though you are addicted. I used to have that problem...Now I just like reading and TV kind of bores me. I hate the commercials on TV. I guess if I had the choice I would rather watch TV on DVD or Netflix so I could avoid all of those commercials. Agh!

I don't at all believe TV makes you lazy, maybe some people but certainly not all. I can't say how much TV means and has always meant to me. I just started a show, Everwood, I'm very much in love with it. I've always been a TV fanatic. What types of shows do you watch? I also have guilty pleasures that I don't even feel guilty for! haha. There's nothing wrong with loving TV, and I hate the perception of people having no brain cells when they watch it, in my case its the furthest thing from.

I only watch television at it’s extent during weekdays or in the TV-hour that I am hooked with TV-shows most likely in the primetime hour (night hour). I don’t normally glued myself in watching television, although they are entertaining indeed, I find it not a good idea to just sit and watch the television all day, since I have more important things to do.

OK, I also like watch Tv, but I like watch sports TV, not celebrities and lifestyle, of course must the live sports tv, such as soccer, NBA and Tennis. I favorite thing is sit in sofa to watch the soccer every weeken, especaill watch the premier league, watching Tv make me relax, enjoy and happy.

Hi natliegleb, after finding lots of fun watching online movies and soap operas I don't watch free tv programs available here anymore. Mostly in night time when I have leisure I like to watch my favorite movies picking from the online tv programs. I link my laptop to the led via HDMI cable. It's so comfortable to watch them playing on the bigger screen sitting in the comfy couch. I don't addict to them and I just amuse myself watching them when I have free time I could continue to watch the program at where it's stopped. If watching the free tv program available here I have to watch right at the time when it's played according to the fixed schedule. I don't want to be tired up. Have a nice day

I use to watch television every day, but now the set is off on Saturdays at home. If we go somewhere with a television I'll watch a game, but am more likely to watch the highlights of a game now. This way I know what happened and can do other activities like posting on Mylot.

i don't watch a lot of tv and what i do watch is mostly educational (i am a big fan of history and antiques) so that is mostly what i watch. i also do a lot of reading (about history too) so although i may be lazy, at least i am learning!

I watch tv, while I am posting in here. Since I live alone, I dont have anyone to acount to, but myself. Some days it is hard to find anything good to watch on tv, so I will just watch netflix, as my son bought me a streaming player for Christmas, which hooks up to my tv, and is setup through my network. It is really cool, as I can watch the old tv shows from years ago, like Petticoat Junction, you Bet Your Life, and many more. I watch it everyday, especially when I can't find anything tio watch on normal tv. It is really amazing what kind of technology they have out there nowadays. Take care, and have a very good day.

Well, that perfectly applies to me. Ever since I was a kid, I was kind of obsessed with celebrities and their lifestyle and always wanted to watch television, so that I can see them on TV. Watching television has become an addiction in my family and although we are well aware it's very harmful to watch plenty of TV, we just can't help it. We get up in the morning and while preparing for work - TV is on. We come home from work and the first thing we do after we wash our hands - we turn on the TV. We go to bed - we fall asleep with the TV on. Quite an obsession...

Sometimes i will watch a TV but most of the time, I will watch the computer screen. It is more convenient.I think it is not good to be indulged in TV programs, it is better to watch them within the limit.

Tv is addictable. I remember when cable first came out and this young guy I worked with was staying up all night watching it. I watch a certain amount everyday. Certain channels especially. It has all changed over the years too.

I am not much addicted to TV whole day my tv is put off and i have my laptop working the entire day. I don't on the tv until my sister comes and she has to watch some serials going on them. Otherwise the entire day i will be here working on my lot, as i don't find interest in anything else other than this.

Oh,this maybe sound odd but I am not fond of watching tv. I check news on the net and watching celebrities life and updates is not my taste either. The common use of our tv sets for me is for watching movie (when I got the time )
