a pleasant day to all,
here at the place where i lived, some of my flatmates cook and prepares their food early. as in, the food they are doing is still early to be prepare for the intended time serving. like, they are doing the cooking for dinner food around 3 pm which is quite early for a dinner time. to my surprise when i got a chance to ask for the reason, they are doing the early preparation of the food because they need to watch a soap opera. hence, they cannot do the cooking when the soap opera was being aired. and this was being done regularly, just like a part of their routine.
how about you, do you also consider watching television a part of your daily routine?

Indeed, watching television somehow relieves the tension and promotes a little bit of relaxation.

I tend to include tv watching in my routine. I always try to make sure i have finished all my uni work by 9, and watch tv from 9 to 10. This way, i get to watch tv. I also tend to watch tv on bbc iplayer in the mornings when at uni waiting for lectures to begin

So, it is indeed, watching television is really a part of the everyday routine.

No, I do not think so. I watch television, more famous as 'Idiot box' in my spare time just as a part of relaxation after a day long hard labour and for no other reason. I always keep away from the so calles reality shows as well as the soap operas which start but forget to end.

I simply don't have time to put it as a part of my routine. Sometimes, I plan to watch television but I already fell asleep just five minutes after sitting on the bench. It's simply because I normally get busy during the day and don't have a lot of break time during the day as well. So I am happy already if I can watch a movie until it's finished.

Watching television has been a part of my daily routine for years. it is something that I have always enjoyed doing. It will probably remain so.

I usually don't watch television because in this country television is extremely boring. Most of tv programs are comedies that aren't funny at all or programs showing people eating and finding everything delicious each time.
If it wasn't this boring I would probably watch tv more often and make it turn into one of my routines, but it's going to be difficult if they don't make tv programs more variated and entertaining.

I won't say it's a daily routine but it's a form of relaxation for me. I don't get to watch tv often till late hours into the night, just before bedtime. Whatever u mentioned here regarding your flat mates applies to my mom as well. That's because she has been watching it right from the start and she's addicted to it. Only frequent tv watchers will know the feeling of missing out on episodes when they have been following the entire season. However my mom will never prepare such an early dinner, it's always late than never for her.

Yes, of course. I'm fond of watching television especially if it's my favorite show already. Aside from using the computer, I also like watching the television for entertainment and to fight my boredom when I'm here at home. :)

No, I don't consider watching TV as part of my routine. I like TV, but I just as often miss my favorite shows. I miss Glee and I just watch it online. Glee was the only show I've really been following. But now I might start watching the comedy shows on NBC Thursdays even though I'm behind in the Office and 30 Rock. There are a lot of cable shows that I just watch on DVD. That's fine.

I could say that I haven't watch TV for 3 years. But I am all the time on the internet. The reason is I don't have TV at home and I prefered to get information and entertainment on the internet. Before the last 3 years, I am not really into the TV program as well.Maybe on the weekend but not regular.

Fortunately I am not an avid fan of television. My day is complete even if I don't get to watch TV. I would prefer surfing online than spending much of my time in watching the television. As of now my preferred channels in our television are Discovery and National Geographic because I really learn a lot from these channels. I guess there is nothing wrong in watching television as long as it is done in moderation because too much of anything is not healthy at all.

Not exactly. I watch TV whenever I have free time or when I'm not surfing internet. TV shows in my country isn't interesting and I prefer watching movies in HBO or music channels.
