I like to watch Discovery channel of the animals in the nature, travel shows - introduce you what the sightseeing, interesting spots in each country, "beverage" show(I don't know what I should name it in English) - drooling sometimes when I see how wonderful the food is... seriously, it can make me hungry, I sitll enjoy those shows though :-p
Are you the type of person that stick to the television all the time? What types of channel do you like to watch? What not?
Or Are you a big hater of television?

I don't watch television as much as I used to. I used to be watch shows religiously like Passions, Dark Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, DeepSpace 9, Stargate.... I still enjoy watching old reruns of shows from when i was a kid and I might catch some stuff on Sci-fi channel and some family guy and House MD . There are just things I would rather be doing other than looking at tv. It all depends though. Like when they had the Battlestar Galactica Marathon, I watched most of that.

Hi mermaidivy.
My family and I love to watch crime/forensic tv series...CSI, Bones, NCIS, Numbers and a lot more. We also like watching Food Network. Comedy sitcoms are also on the list of our favorites. But since we don't get to catch all these on tv, we got some of them on dvd...this way we could just watch them whenever we have the time. I guess you can call us tv addicts.
Thanks. Have a great weekend.

good day mermaid,
if my husband is here, tv is always open coz he likes history channel, discovery, animal planets and investigation things but if his working, i don't really turn on the tv so much coz i'm busy with the computer. if i had to watch my show every monday then i enjoyed watching fashion programs and cooking as well. i also watch programs like criminal minds, numbers, csi, criminal intent and law and order. it keeps my mind working.

I don't have much time to watch television, but if there is a chance this is the sequence of channel that i will choose. Traveling channel, there's a lot of show about traveling at our local television ()in my country), i love to see all of that, seriously. Admire the beauty of nature, learn about so many different culture, it's amaze me. News channel, never miss this. It is important to know the latest information that happen around us. Gossip show, sometime make me bored, but sometime can entertain too. Discovery channel, make me know more about so many things in past, present and future time.

I'm a series fan, I like to eat them all the time, Supernatural is one of them that I like to see and see a little bit more.
I like the jamie oliver shows, I'm learning a little about cooking, and of course travel and animals shows.
One thing that I don't like on tv are reality shows, what people are wiling to do for a second of fame.

Television show...hmm...I also like to watch discovery channel. I like almost all shown in the discovery channel. But now a days I have found that discovery channel is showing a lot of repeated shows. Also I like to watch Animal planet. Shows in Animal Planet are really very very good. They show all about natural beauty and natural places.

I am not a big bater of television.Watching television is one of my favorite hobbies.I daily spend more than two hour in front of TV.I like news programs and sports.My favorite channels are BBC and star sports.There is lot of plus point in watching TV.Watching it brings us a lot of benefits. Watching TV can increase our knowledge of the world, give us information to improve our lives and provide a lot of fun. People learn many things through TV such as economics, history, geography, and culture. Many TV programs provide the latest news of domestic and international events. Watching news every night on TV is many people s most important routine.Find the right channels, and you will have programs of education. If you are a conscientious student, the TV set will be a great aid to you. Watching TV is an indispensable hobby for everybody. . Today, many children spend too much time before the little screen, ignoring their studies, outdoor activities and even their families. Watching TV has become part of our lives. TV, as a convenient communication tool, is very useful for us in many areas. Various programs fit everyone s need, like cooking and exercise to keep the body fit. Nearly every family owns a TV and watches TV programs. We should teach the kids to spend their time wisely with other hobbies and outdoor activities. Nothing is more entertaining and relaxing for me than watching TV after a whole day of study. These kinds of programs always help us do better in our daily living. There are many programs to teach us about such things as home decorating, home renovating and carpentry. It is not unusual to see the people and places totally different from your own anymore because people can see these things through TV.

Hello mermaidivy,
I don't really spend time watching television at home. But when I do, I prefer to watch mini series like Prison Break and CSI, and sometimes the documentary available on Discovery Channel. I also like to watch HBO especially thriller or horror movies.

I don't have so much time to watch TV because i'm in the army, so everytime I go back home i'm staying in my computer. But when I do watch TV, even while being in the army I love watching animals shows, and soccer games. I'm barely updated on what's going on in TV, or what reality shows are the good ones.
