For the Week End, a little poll about television...Big%20smile
Do you enjoy watching TV broadcasts from your country ?

For me, I lost interest for it and have been living without a TV device (and TV-Card) for more than 6 years...


TV-cards also count, but
DVDs must not be taken into account here.

I know TV is an crappy thing in our days, but sometimes you got nothing to do and it's the easiest way to have a distraction.

I leave it on all the time, but mainly just for background noise (I always need something). The only shows I actually WATCH are Simpsons, and Comedy Central.

I watch TV, but not too much.  I'll usually end up watching ESPN, The Daily Show, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, or CSI.  I also use it to play video games.  Otherwise, I find TV rather boring.

Until this monday I have lived without a television for some years.

I mainly bought it because I got a DVD-player as christmas gift. Now I can watch concert DVD:s all the timeBig%20smile. The TV-channels are just bonuses.

I do not watch it...I read it... Big%20smile
 
 
I watch it sometimes. Leno's monologues, Stewart, O'Reilly (have to hear the other side), Bill Maher, The Sopranos, Seinfeld, stand-up comedy.... movies I own like 500 in dvd so don't need to in tv (too much new sh*t anyway), every once in a while vh1 classic has something decent (imagine that in a viacom channel!), discovery, history (when it's interesting, like biographies of true important people, not freaking Tiger woods... that program has gone so down...) NFL, Spanish Soccer (as my country's soccer I can't catch it with my cable company CryCryCryCry).....
 
f**k it, I like TV. When it's good.

I've practically stopped watching TV altogether. I'd rather read, do some crafty things, listen to music and surf the Internet... and of course, post on ProgArchives!Wink

I rarely watch TV. If the news is on I will sometimes watch it. I have stopped watching TV on a regular absis (I used to watch 1 30 minute program 5 times a week).

I spend most of my time either at school, sleeping, listening to music, playing my bass, or posting on PA. TV has lost its luster for me.

Pretty much all evening, from the time I get home from work, have dinner, take care of any household stuff: Bills, help daughter with homework, etc then TV for the night.
 
Also I work for a cable co. so I have full cable in my office which is almost always on.

We have an exellent TV magazine in which I can search for the interesting TV programs, especially on Discovery, National Geographic, Animal Planet , the BBC with Match Of The Day (English football, I love it Heart , I still miss Jimmy Hill Cry ) and Top Of The Pops Two with exciting and often nostalgic Sixties and Seventies footage from bands like The Sweet, Slade, Roxy Music, Marillion, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, etc. Clap 
 
I consider TV as music: there is a lot of rubbish and crap but instead of complaining about it, I try to trace the good elements and there are a lot of good TV programs, almost every day me and my wife enjoy watching TV for at least two hoursThumbs%20Up

I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book.

Aside from concerd DVD's I don't think I watched any TV in the last 2 years

I forgot the dude who originally said that.
Anyways, I only watch House MD, Lost, CSI, Discovery, Cartoon Network, ANC ( Filipino News Channel), a bit of HBO and Animal Planet. I hate Philippine TV programs.Dead

I know.. I missed ONE episode of Lost during the first two years..  then missed the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th episodes this year due to... haahha... other priorities.   Stopped watching it.... and anxiously awaiting the 3rd season on DVD.  NO spoilers please... has it been good?
