How often do you watch TV?

Just wanted to see how much time PPTers spent in front of their television sets.

I don't watch TV anymore; in fact I spend virtually 0 minutes 0 hours watching TV each week. This is due to restrictive boarding school rules.

I bet you'll find that we spend practically no time watching TV; but what we lack in TV time we more than make up for in computer time.

(That semicolon looks really pretentious.)

I myself watch about one hour a day, five days a week. (I watch Whose Line Is It Anyway.) During football season I watch more.

Not much. I have to watch my Hollyoaks 'cause I'm sad. I also watch "Look Around You" which is an insanely funny "Tomorrows World" parody.

Couple of hours a night maximum. There is not ever really much on television and I don't religiously watch any television shows so I don't have much incentive to watch television. Some nights I never watch any television though.

Two hours, probably.

My tv is always on but I'm not watching it half of the time

My TV is on most of the time too, however, I will be multi tasking at my computer too.

Over six hours a day, usually. I loves me some tv. <3

I voted 1 - 2 hours per day. I watch my soap operas on a night time and then Doctor Who on a Saturday.

Almost never... or actually, when I'm here in Belgium I don't watch it all. Back at home I have my own TV and watch it way more

About 1-3 hours a week... occasionally more. I'm not a real big TV watcher.

Hm. 2-3 hours a day, depending on what's on.

I spend about four hours a week. Which is just enough for me.

Ok.
A lot.
If i'm home... the TV is almost always on.
So... a lot.
Why?
Background noise. I can't concentrate in silence... can't work in silence. I need something else... especially if i'm doing art. I get into a zen mode and just zone out and work to the sound of TV. *shrug*

Yep, same here. I find that silence is distracting.
I watch TV at least an hour or two a day. It usually depends on the day of the week, though.
