So how many hours of tv do you watch a day? I don't think I watch even 2 hours a day. I can't sit down for a long time. I get bored fast, the only time is when someone I like is on something.

I watch movies more than I watch 'TV'. Don't know if it does qualify under TV though. That would make it around 5-6 hours a week if I have the time and the mood.

So many of my favorite shows are no longer son (King of Queens, Eastenders, Faulty Towers etc) that if I watch an hour a day that is a lot. I have started renting more boxed sets of shows and catching up on episodes that I missed.

If I have the day off, up to 8 hours. If I don't I'm only home 3 hours, so obviously no longer than that.

Oh god! I watch way too much television-always have. When I was in a media class in high school we were asked this question. I replied I watched about 50+ hours a week. That was with going to school full time, being involved in about 10 extra-curricular activities, working, having a 7 period out of 8 classload,keeping a 3.14 GPA, Having a steady boyfriend, etc. And I still do. Sometimes for mindless entertainment, other times for education, other times...well, whatever.

Nowadays I don't even watch TV. I don't have time to do it and if I want to read something I read it online. I usually only watch it when there is something interesting like a movie.

Right now I watch zero tv,since our cable was shut off. We will occasionally watch a movie at night before bed though. So maybe 4 to 6 hours a week is spent in front of the tv.The only thing I really miss watching is the news and Jeopardy.

As I'm currently living overseas in China, I don't bother to turn on the T.V, and haven't during the entire year that I've been over here. When I was at home, I rarely turned on the T.V anyway, watching less than an hour a day. Most days I wouldn't bother to turn it on at all, as the quality of the television programs produced now are of such poor quality, I usually can't be bothered wasting my time.

Well, there was a time when I used to watch TV for more than 10 hours at a stretch. But now, since i'm working, I watch about 4 hours of TV everyday. I try and watch TV almost the entire day on weekends. LOL
