After a long working day, I would like to sit down and watch tv or a dvd while eating my dinner. There's only my husband and me for now no kids yet so often we would have our food in front of the tv to relax. We have lunch on the table rice and dishes but for dinner we just eat very little like cereals, bread or nestum with milk and oats so we eat it in front of the tv. I like Phua Chu Kang.......silly but entertaining and currently every Monday watching BONES but today I forgot all about it and sat down and watch Die Hear 3 movie. Been watching Die Hard 1 and 2 for the past two night and I guess tomorrow will be Die Hard 4. borrowed the dvd which is a 4 in 1 from my brother. He has loads or movies which I have not seen before so a time of rest at night my husband and I will watch a movie. Sometimes if there's good movie on tv we will watch it as well but if it starts at 10pm, I won't watch because the movie will end very late. If it starts at 9pm or 9.30pm then I will watch. Oh I also like P Ramlee movies...silly and funny but sometimes a bit slow with all the singing.......

Hey it's great that you do watch cartoon dvds with your son. My husband and I also do watch cartoon dvds. Most the dvds we watch is borrowed from my sister, his sister and my music students. Once we spent just a few night straight watching the Star Wars episodes from Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi. Then after that we watched all the James Bond movies from the 1st one to the Casino royale. Haven't watch Quantum Solace yet. Then we had a few nights of just watching cartoons Disney cartoons - sleeping beauty, beauty and the beast, oliver and company....but yet to watch Cinderella 1. 2 & 3 have watched. LOL!!! Do we sound crazy watching movies like that ???? heheheh Oh and we just watched Red Cliff one and two as well. Fantastic movie. Have you seen the movie TAKEN by Liam Neeson?....If haven't you should watch that. It's fantastic. Thanks for reminding me about the Phua Chu Kang in KL....almost forgot about it.

Watching tv had been one of my favourites since from very young age. My husband and me do likes to watch that silly and funny drama, Phua Chu Kang, too. This month will be screening the new season of Phua Chu Kang, doing business in KL. Hope you don't miss it..P Ramlee, l don't really like to watch all of them because some of them seems very boring. I only watch some of them. About dvds, l usually watch them during weekends with my husband. Other weekdays, l will watch cartoon dvds with my son.

Before my son was born, my husband and me do ever felt that kind of boring feeling. Can say, we also spend most of our time watching tv or dvds, like both of you. l do watched many kinds of dvds like, western, hong kong, taiwan, korean and japanese but, l think we don't watch as much as both of you did. Most of the time, we will be spending our time online. Since my son was born, l had decided to resigned from my job and devote my time to taking care of him. Now, l had less time to online as well, since l had to put more time taking care of him.

I grew up on the old classic cartoons like bugs bunny, tweety bird, and the roadrunner and coyote. I wasn't allowed to watch the newer ones like recess, doug, and others. They are definitely not the same now that I do sometimes watch the "newer" cartoons...I am glad now I grew up on classics. My dad also had us watch black and white movies that had no sound(he was a history teacher).

Well, l grew up in this age group, where the old classic cartoons are my only source of cartoon films that are available. But, l still like to watch them, together with my son. Talking about no sound films, l do remember "Charlie Chaplin". l likes to watch them, too, eventhough they are consider as classic type of films. Well, sometimes classic type of films are more meaningful and romantic than the modern type of films.

I am not watching TV very much today unlike before. Well I am fond of watching comedy sitcom and tv series before but not now.. I am more fond of doing things online than watching TV. I have a friend who is addicted to tv watching. she wants to used up her time just to watch tv. LOL. I can't do that.

Actually, l don't watch telelvision as much as my younger days, too. Now, l had to divide-out my time, mostly on taking care of my child and doing housework, as well. I just watch my all time favorite likes, superman and deal or no deal. But, l don't glued myself there either. Because l just don't have much time watching television, l prefer to spend my time online to learn something new.

Yes, when we was young, we watch more television films as compare to when we grow older. When we grow older, we got to devote our time to do other useful things. Although l didn't watch those cartoon films myself, but now is my child's turn to watch those cartoon films. He really loves to watch those character, everyday without feeling boring about it.

I love watching television since i was kid until now that i have my own apartment and own television. Before i have my own computer, i almost spend three or more hours on the TV shows, the news, the dramas. And then, i have my computer, so i spend all my spare time on the internet. It is more convenient to get news from the internet, also it is so easy to watch movies, dramas without advertiments.

I also love watching the television and I just don't know where I would be without it. I love the superman films, Christopher Reeve was pretty good. Whenever they show that over and over on the tv, I'm always tuning into this movie. I'm a quiet natured kind of person and so I love spending a lot of time alone but the tv does kind of act as a very close companion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not glued to the television twenty four hours a day, I do love to cycle on a regular basis as well! I have cable and there are over a hundred different channels to choose from, I'm forever pressing the buttons on the remote control! Andrew

I love watching television since I was a kid until now that I am married. Before I used to watch all the dramas and the news but now I limit my watching habit for about 1 to 2 hours per day. The reason is that I don't enjoy the shows. Another reason is that I only watch television if my husband is using the computer and if I have finished all the household chores. I watch television if my baby is awake so that he will watch too. But I don't let him watch too much because it is not good for babies. My all time favorite television show is Deal or No Deal and Family Feud!

I didn't let my child watch too much television shows, as well. Yes, Deal or No Deal, is also my all time favourite, too. Now, l seldom watch television because my child wants to watch those Barney and other cartoon dvds..
