Noel I agree with you as I watch History etc...but that much? Sitting too much...I noticed that with my parents....they were always watching TV. If you watch good things you can educate yourself.

ITA, definitely not that much! That's a little over 5 hrs a day, right? Every day. I can't imagine most people watch that much.

Watching TV does not have to be a waste of time, far from it. It depends on what you watch. I've never watched a Housewives show but I do like to watch NOVA, Masterpiece Theater, and a recent show detailing the battle of Gettysburg.

It's like most things in life, it's what you make of it.

And don't forget Check Please. Love that.

Thumbs up!

It depends on the time of year for me. During football and baseball seasons, I watch a lot more than that. But other than a few series, I don't watch much the rest of the year. TV is never on during the day if I'm home.

One of mine is on 24/7, 365 a year. I go to sleep with the tv on in the bedroom. If I'm here one of them is on, for me its for the noise. I'm not watching anything specific most of the time, often I have on the music channels.

I watch mine about an hour a day. I cannot comprehend having it on endlessly.

24/7 365 days a year? Do you leave it on even when you're not home?

[Lakk]

I do.

May I ask why?

First the police say it may prevent someone from breaking in if they think someone is home. (which I seriously doubt) Secondly I don't like pure silence. I have a car that's 4 /12 yrs. old and it doesn't have 3,800 miles on it yet. I'm rarely away from home unless I go to the doctor once a year or if I'm at the grocery less than a mile away. To each his own.

I understand and that makes sense.
