I tend to do it also. Even when I absolutely know I'm not going to find anything on at that moment. I guess I could call it wishful thinking!

I have a lot of shows saved on tivo. so I don't do much tv surfing anymore. I just watch what I have saved on tivo. I don't like surfing that much, if it doesn't catch my eye right away I just put in a movie.

oh i do that and yup! it drives everybody else in the house nuts...one in particular because i guess sometimes he doesnt realize ive changed the channel and he thinks its the same show..so he gets frustrated and confused thinking that the show is stupid or something lol! i mostly channel surfe during commercials though, i have a pretty good sense of timing, so im able to flip thrue a couple dozen channels and be right back on the show i want just as the commercials end! its an awesome talent that nobody seems to appreciate lol!

Haha. I do this a lot! Sometimes even if I'm done circling the entire lineup I still continue to flip channels just for the heck of it. What's funny though is that the TV in my room does not have a remote control so the only way to change channels is to manually press the buttons below the screen. Good thing though that my bed is just like 3 feet away from the TV so all I do is lie down near the edge so I could reach the buttons with my feet! Hehehe. I know it sounds silly, but hey, it does the job! xoxo, ajhie!

Yeah, I get bored a lot, especially whenever there is nothing great on television to watch at all. Until I get a great show. That is why I always flip through channels until I get a good show to watch.

If I can't catch something good, i could flip all day long. Over and OVer. Or just hand over the remote and go take a nap :)

My husband is bad about this. He could break every finger on both hands and i swear he would figure out how to use a toe.

that is what my hubby says about me. it drives him nuts when i do it. and the funny thing about it is that i am usually the one that has the control not him.
