I hardly watch TV nowadays. I watch anime online. If I do watch TV, it's always for a purpose. I like to watch channels like Animal Planet, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Football Channel and etc. I look out for my favorite documentaries or football matches and watch them.

I dunno about you but i basically watch television to escape from the stress in the real world and just enjoy for the half or one hour show. Television is the best option because it doesnt require you to think, it just feel your head with the story that is unfolded before you ;D

I only turn my television on to watch specific programs that I really want to watch. that may be Home and Away, a travel documentary or a family history program. I then switch my television off. I feel a bit bored when I watch television but I don't feel like that when I use my laptop. I like to watch about one hour of television in the week and none at the weekend. I use my laptop far more and that is every day of the week.

Oh my dear, I cannot afford to kill time. It is very precious to me. So if ever I would watch TV it is for a purpose. In fact I don't even watch TV that often because I have other much more important things to attend to. In fact, even while I watching TV, I would still do something so I could accomplish something even while watching. Most of the time, I will iron clothes while watching TV or fold washed clothes. That is how precious time to me. I do multi-task as often as I can.

i watch tv a lot and usually to watch my favorite shows. i think i watch them for a purposr, because the show interests me, and i guess at the same time to relax. before i had this bad tv addiction that even when there are no good shows on, i would still channel surf just to pass the time. but now i have other things that keep me occupied, so i seldom do it.

i watch television for the purpose of enjoyment and for my personal satisfaction to learn new or more ideas. Watching television also helps me to be updated on current events or news here and abroad. Enjoyment cause i could listen to my fave songs sung by my favorite singer. Watch movies played by my favorite artist. =)
