That's a really good way to put it! I mean, there are exceptions, like nature or informational shows, or watching pundits (sometimes).

And even the show Lost has some elements that make it more worthwhile, since it has a lot of suspense and you have to figure out all of the mysteries.

hey monitornet,
Thanks for the compliment. I just read on another blog that the average person watches 5 hours a day. That means someone out there is watching 8-9 hours of TV to make up for me. That person should get a life! :)

Yeah, it's definitely soda pop for the mind. I mean, just think about all the commercials you have to get through to watch a show...at least 15% of your time in front of the tube is being subject to advertising, much of it being subliminal.

Yikes! 5 hours is almost *half* of an entire day!

just watching news.. 1 hours max.. 12 hours in from of my computer monitor.. :)

well, i spend more time in computers right now so i don't have interests in watching TV now. i even don't watch a day. it's just that i'm too addicted in using my PC. :D

Only a few yrs ago id average probably 3-4hrs a night. These days its about 4 hrs a week.

Im just sick to death of game shows and reality tv (which seems to be 90% of free to air programming), that I basically download the stuff I want to watch and watch it when I want to.

I dont watch as much as I used to. Spend more time on the computer noe--love it!!

Watching TV really does help to relax I think. I get 3 -4 hours daily to watch tv....but no movies lately. Only some sitcoms and I do like them a lot.

I don't know how people waste their time by watching television. I don't watch television that much. I only watch prison break TV serial regularly this one is my favorite.

I still watch my regular soap (and that is only one lol ) but most of the time I now spend on my computer, as I am still learning!:D I do enjoy a good film now and again though:)
