I'll be the first to admit I'm a tv junkie and watch entirely too much television ( I enjoy it). I work in a school, I'll ask do you watch this or that, the answer is always "I really don't watch tv"! I always feel like I must be a loser with no life! I'm always astounded when people say I don't watch tv.

I'll admit to watching Bold and the Beautiful, Young and the Restless, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Shepherd Smith News, and Dan Abrams Live most every day/night.

Just because someone says they don't watch tv doesn't mean they are doing something more important with their time. They might be sorting their M&M's by color.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Re: What, You Don’t Watch TV

I record Bold and the Beautiful (I fast forward through Sheila) and Young and the Restless. I enjoy women's tennis and men's PGA golf. Flip or Flop was my must see show, but it is gone. I will see Project Runway and The Voice when they air. I have recently lost interest in most tv and previously watched it much more often.

 

I do fall asleep with the tv playing recordings of Law and Order, Bones, or Flip or Flop. Hallmark movies distract me and help lower my stress level, so they get recorded for when I need to unwind.

Re: What, You Don’t Watch TV

Years ago I watched much more tv than I do now. However, I just have different forms of entertainment.I spend way too much time on the internet, and I read extensively. That being said, Everthing I read is not superior to television, I just prefer reading. I think sometimes people say they don't watch tv to sound superior.   Just do what you enjoy.

Re: What, You Don’t Watch TV

We have TV on too much, but I don't always watch intently (which drives my husband crazy because I'll ask what I missed). DH often has on sports. Shows we enjoy watching together are Cold Justice, The Equalizer, 9-1-1, The Resident, Blue Bloods, Ghosts and Resident Alien.  I think they are all returning this season. During the day, it's Bold & Beautiful, Young & Restless, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, along with reruns of Monk and Murder She Wrote. I also enjoy Hallmark Christmas movies when he is watching Sunday and Monday night football.

I think most people watch a lot more tv than they realize.
