How many hours in an average do you spend watching television? How fond of you are watching tv. Or are you among those who simply don't like watching it?

I don't watch a lot of TV. If my son is not sleeping, I turn it on during the day while working online. We don't turn it on on weekends. There is not much on nights, either. So much of what is on is sleaze and slime. Even my son doesn't want to see it. I do like Big Bang Theory and sometimes Dr. Phil. We sometimes watch the network version of the news.

I watch TV mainly when I go to bed. Maybe a few hours before I fall asleep. I rather be online or doing something else during the day. But there are those days that I need to just chill and watch a good movie.

@amitkokiladitya TV is the best companion when getting into bed. It always puts me to sleep. I need it on.

I many a times skip to watch TV programmes. There are few channels where we get to see interesting programmes like Discovery Channel or Animal Planet etc. As regards Hindi entertainment channels, I do not watch any kinds of soaps or serials, as they seem disgusting to me. I only watch Comedy shows and Big Boss. Average time spent would be around 30 to 45 minutes, not more than that.

I don't spend much time watching TV. I guess I only spend not more than 5 hours a week in watching TV. And when I watch, I don't really focus much on what on it. I usually have something else to do while the TV is on.

0 hours a day. I haven't watched tv in about 10 years now, I believe. When the Big Brother type shows started infesting most of the channels, I hated them, so off went the tv and I started spending all my time either working online or reading books. (or both, as the case may be.) Since I earn on several sites online, I started doing that more than anything else. Since I love talking on myLot, it now takes up most of my spare time. I do earn on other sites, the biggest earnings I make are from editing manuscripts. So, basically, I earn for reading books and pointing out the author's mistakes. LOL!

@Kehsiba Hello! My pc says I've never spoken to you before. It is a pleasure to meet you here on myLot. I do hope you are having fun and making friends as you earn your change here! Most websites no longer earn money... or the sites do earn money, but the owner(s) tend to keep it all. I did say that I earn most online money from editing manuscripts. (Roughly $200 per week.) If you can spell, have a good vocabulary and are able to parse the language, you could see about doing that, too. Other than that, I am sorry. I am not from India and honestly have little idea about which sites would be available for your use. Personally, my daughter and I do very well on Swagbucks, Dollartracks, Perk and the like. As I said, I have no idea if any of those sites are available for Indians.

I only watch my favorite shows on TV or an occasional movie in the evening with my husband. Otherwise, I never watch it, not even during the day. I'd rather read. I average 2-3 hours a day, but also watch or listen to the news.
