Epitome Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I watch about 1.5-3 hours a day. I mean but there is no such thing as too much TV. TV is awesome. It relieves alot of stress from me when I watch it. At least when I watch comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathKnight Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 [color=crimson]I watch alot of TV because its near my computer. Usually its just on as background noise during games, hardly anything is really that captivating to keep me occupied- unless its like the HIstory channel or something, those Documentaries literally suck me in. I'm gonna say 3.5-4 since I leave it on from like 1-3 as background noise while I write or game. so I guess I watch alot more than I should.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Haha, Jean, you watch TV 24/7! Anyways, I barely watch TV at all. Nothing good is on anymore, and TV doesn't do you any good anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Watching too much = no life -_- I watch 1 - 3 but sometimes more depending on wat anime is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anakin Solo Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Only times I watch T.V is when the Cosby Show is on at 11. That is only like an hour a day or something, lol. T.V just doesnt pull me in nay more. I used to watch the History channel a lot, but for some reason I just dont any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I watch an hour a day at max....I like watching Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun and thats about it..... The TV is always on though because its in the family room. I don't really care for TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 The only reason I really watch is for the anime and movies. The only main times I watch are late at night when lots of anime is on and when Toonam is on. Sometimes I watch HBO and Cinemax to watch some good movies, but mainly I only watch anime.

Semjaza Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I had bought a new HDTV a while back for my room... Mostly for games and movies. However, I could never get the reception right and I couldn't watch my favorite TV shows: Simpsons, Futurama and so on. So basically, other than a few episodes here or there (I'd say max, 3 a week) I have not watched TV shows. And the funny thing is, I don't miss them at all.

amibasuki Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 [FONT=arial]I mostly only keep up with YuYu Hakusho, but now that they've started the episodes over, I doubt I'm gonna be watching Toonami anymore. plus I'll sometimes watch a little bit of either the Cosby Show or some MTV or VH1, depending on what's on. so I'd say I watch about an hour to an hour and a half's worth everyday. time spent on the computer, on the other hand, can be doubled/tripled, so I'm not that well off after all >.>'[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I watch about 3-5 hours of TV about every weekday, mostly because I'm bored. I'm trying to cut back and be more active, though. For the rest of my free time I focus on creating stories and drawing characters. I also spend alot of time here at Otakuboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I probably watch about five hours of television a week--and four of them are dedicated to wrestling. The other hour is usually allotted to channel surfing in between meals or when I'm getting dressed. I probably use my television more for gaming purposes than I do for viewing purposes. Personally, I believe that television is fun, but, like anything else, it can become a big distraction and unhealthy when abused. Parents should definitely encourage their children to read and participate in sports activities. Children raised by sitcoms and reality shows can potentially become isolated and less social, otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Who you callin' isolated and less social? :p I was pretty much raised by TV. Yes, I know, it's sad. I stay up at unholy hours of the night watching TV. I wake up watching TV and go to sleep watching TV. Yes, I even go to bed at night with the TV on. If I didn't have school and I wasn't hunting for a job, and if there was anything decent on TV on the weekends, I'd probably never stop watching it. On a slightly strange note, I push myself into reading. Every couple of days, I head on down to Borders and read a little. These days, I'm reading [u]Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[/u] Speaking of, isn't there a movie version somewhere out there I can watch on TV?

Sere Tuscumbia Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hmmph. I used to be hooked to TV, but now I rarely watch TV. Pretty much the only thing I watch is CSI with the family, and that's all. Not much good stuff on TV to watch anymore . . . O_o;; All of it's reality shows and other mindless junk like that . . . *shrug* Ah well. Not really like I mind or anything. I've got other things to do that take up the time. ^_^ --Sere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 [size=1][font=century gothic][color=gray] I never watch TV, except for late at night when I'm trying to sleep. Even then, I usually am writing when it's late at night like that. I guess I'm a night person. But no. I'd say I watch even less than an hour of TV in an entire week.[/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 [size=1][color=crimson]4-5 hours everyday, it's often above 5 hours though ^^;;. I'm really bad at that, eek. Mostly I leave it on for background noise and when I go to sleep, but I watch [i]alot[/i] more than I should.. ..Bad bad Weh. u_u;[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlgaTheDwarf Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'll whatch maybe like one or two shows each week, but really the only thing I really like is the Most Extreme Elimination Chalange. I think that it is one of the funniest things out there and the only good thing T.V. has too offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zkirwq Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 [size=1]I watch TV way too much for my own good. There are so many shows I love, and they are on all the time. Futurama, Simspons, History Channel things (especially Histories mysteries), stuff about animals (particularly bugs) on the Discovery channel, Daria, Family Guy, South Park, That 70's Show, and the list goes on. I can't describe how easily I get pulled into a show. I can just walk by a TV, and then I'll plop down and watch something.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
