How many hours per day do you watch tv? Me, VERY little, well....this time of year, MAYBE 4 hours total, in the summer "phhft!" I watch the morning news (2 hours), evening news (1 hour) and about an hour before bedtime, don't laugh, I'm in bed at 2000 hrs (8 o'clock) :lol: of course I'm up at 0400-0430 EVERY, SINGLE morning :grr:

Ours is on from 0500 to at least 2300 every day. As to watching it actively, most of the time it's "background noise", unless there's something one of us REALLY wants to see.

TV :-? What's that?

Really, I don't watch much on the tube. I use to, but with the Internet and the interactive environment it is, I don't watch it often!

I watch some sitcom reruns, like Home Improvement, however. TWC? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: When I want weather info, it is my NWR, S2K (of course), and the NWS website.

I don't watch tv too much unless there is a big breaking news story or bad weather.

I always try to watch the news in the morning and then either at 9 or 10.

I also watch "Days of our Lives" every day at 1:00.

I watch very little tv--mainly Law and Order. However, since I am addicted to Apprentice, that's another hour a week. Guilty pleasure, I guess. lol

That depends on season and time of year.

Winter......Say Nov-Early March about 4-5 hours a night Mon-thurs

Weekends...2 hours maybe a day (football season NFL sundays all day long)

Spring maybe 2 to 3 hours a week!
Weekends not much

Summer hardly ever 8-10 hours a week

fall all depends probably the same as spring except Sundays during football season.

The Weather Channel runs in the background,
while I am getting ready for work, in the
mornings (hush, coriolis! :lol: ;) ) In the evenings,
if my neice comes over, it's Comedy Central.
Otherwise, I will scan through Discovery and History
Channels, maybe Captain Picard on Sci-Fi,
IF I am not ready to fall in the sack
and crash just yet! (And, usually, I AM!)

To actually watch...maybe, MAYBE an average of 8 hours per WEEK.

Only thing that changes that is breaking news or breaking weather. Or a good PPV movie.

On the other hand, I am working at my desk or computer about 12-14 hours a week...not including workdays.

I listen to online music more than I watch TV.

Don't own a TV. I am an addict and if I had one, I wouldn't do anything else. :D

Same here... generally one of the three of us (parents and/or myself) are watching the Fox News Channel; sometimes MSNBC and very rarely CNN. We generally don't miss a beat of the goings on in the news and for that matter in the FNC studios in New York and Washington, D.C. :)

I watch Friends when it's on and all the other shows that are on after I go t sleep like ER, Southpark, Crank Yankers and my Soaps I tape and watch them when I have some free time. I don't watch TV that much at all.
