Are you a couch potato? Do you sit around and watch tv all day long? Or do you just watch tv because of the news or for a favorite show? What do you usually watch on tv?
or maybe you are like me who doesnt have time for TV anymore since mylot occupies most of our time?:)

I am more of a computer chair potato.lol. But I will glance at the tv from time to time. There are a few shows that I like to watch but during the commercials, I am right back to the computer.

i only watch tv when my favorite shows are on. my daily life begins with work from 8 am to 5 pm, that means i am spending 8 hours of my time in front of the computer for my work and well, for doing other things on the net. lol. after work when i get home, i would take a rest and then play with my daughter. when the news are on, i would go up in front of the tv and watch. oh, i also get to watch tv along with my daughter if her favorite shows are on because she likes watching it with my husband and i.

Well I do not get much time to watch T.V and though I do watch some shows but I am not hooked on or something.
Over the weekends, if I have nothing better to do than I prefer watching T.V but it really depends on the programs, if they are airing something of my interest than most probably I will watch it if not then I will try to do something else.

I just joined mylot and got an assignment to write an article for a DC ezine so I most likely wont be looking at the TV as much. I usually watch DVD's when I watch and I use it for background noise while I write or clean so it's cool.

I have no guilt about being a couch potato because I spend 90 minutes sometimes more in the gym five times a week! 5km on the treadmill and pumping iron. I need to relax after my strenuous exercise regime and what better than to relax in front of the tv! I am addicted to Stargate SG1, Malcolm in The Middle, UK Soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street. Deal or No Deal and Horror films, the scarier and gorier the better.
I am not currenly working so I usually spend from 4pm till 8pm watching tv every night. The rest I spend on the computer!

I am oposite of a couch potato, I watch TV less. Before Mylot also I was in the internet more than watching TV. Now I watch TV for some very selected programe and soemtime watch news in TV and sometime I get news from net.
And now because of Mylot it is becoming less than ever lol.

I seldom watch TV unless there might be some sporting event or a movie I might want to see. I don't watch the news or sitcoms or dramas. I might pop in a movie from my collection and watch it. I might be a couch potato when I am sitting or lying on the couch reading a book.

I rarely sit on the couch as I am always on the computer. However in the evenings I am always at the computer and watching TV at the same time. I am often at the computer in the day as well so although I don't sit around and watch TV I sit around and look at the computer screen instead.

I don't watch much TV. I like a few shows, but I don't run my life around them. I also have a laptop, so if I want to be on MyLot while I watch TV, I can do that. I don't need to be looking at the TV screen all the time. Usually when I have it on, I have it in the background.

I'm like you. I am on here more than watching tv. I really do need to get out more though. I was helping my husband a few days a week but not as much anymore since my Mom's heart surgery. I made a resolution to start walking and I have yet to do it.

Im the ultimate potato that resides in the couch, because I eat, peruze the internet, and watch movies and t.v. all simultaniously.
