I rarely watch TV these days... maybe one show once a week (two when "Once Upon A Time" is in-season). I like "Idiotest" (I'm quite good at that one) and "The Science of Stupid," when they're on.

This last year, the only time I've actually watched my TV was to see Inspector Lewis and Downton Abbey, both on PBS.

However, I have watched streaming video of Castle, Foyle's War, Midsomer Murders, George Gently, and Line of Duty.
I sorta meant to watch NCIS: LA and Elementary, but after missing a few episodes,
got over my addiction to following the Deeks/Kensi and Sherlock/Watson relationships.

If they start streaming Halt and Catch Fire somewhere, I'm sure I'll watch that 'cuz Lee Pace. <insert smiley swooning>

Yeah I watch TV!
There are the news channels- CNN is avoided at all costs because BLEH (unless Quest is on)
The usual channels- movies start at 20:30, sometimes 20:00 or 18:45. Day time tv is strange. Most things after 15:00 are normal tv shows, not the weird ass teleshopping *cringes*
The extra channels- ALL the BBCs because Entertainment and Three are the best in the evenings
The cartoons- types of cartoons depend on time- the later it is the better ie.Ed, Edd n Eddy, I Am Weasel, Power Puff Girls etc.
Music channels- has come in handy many times when wondering what else can be added to the already large playlist

Since the cast of Supernatural isn't going to film each episode in my house any time soon - yes I still watch television. And how else am I expected to watch Ash vs Evil Dead starting on Halloween?

But I really don't watch much TV. If I'm home alone, it's on but it's more for background noise than anything else. The kids will walk in and ask me what I'm watching, my answer is almost always "I have no idea".

Ha! I have corrupted you entirely! My work here is done!

Just for cnn, excluding that smug anthony bourdain. For other shows with potential to be good to watch there's way too many cutting to advertisement breaks. I especially hate coming back to the program to a short message "(this show) will be back" only to throw me back to another wave of advertising. If someone is visiting I make it a point to hit mute and encourage criticism of the commercial.

For me, watching television for 30 minutes is good for clearing my head. Entertainment can be found everywhere, but not all of it involves the pleasure of posting on a comfortable couch and turning into a vegetable for half an hour.

I watch TV all the time and I love it. I probably should be embarrassed, but I admit I love reality TV. Those are the only shows I'm willing to watch on network TV.

The rest of the time, I just watch serial TV shows. Those are pretty much the only fiction I'll watch. Though I don't watch them on my TV, usually watch them on my work PC during my lunch break.

? What is TV?

Is that some kind of ancient technology from planet Earth?

I'm seriously thinking of dropping TV. Wife wants it for that gawd awful "Walking Dead" series. How is that entertainment?

The only time I watch anything else...

...is because my mother is the type my father and I are dragging kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

She and dad are the main watchers of TV. My mother watches a few things: supernatural dramas and documentaries, cartoons with intellectual heft (like Gravity Falls) and "old lady period pieces" (that term was from Gravity Falls) like Larkrise to Candleford and Call the Midwife. She prefers British series and show with decently executed writing over the American trash on TV today.

Only really the news and programs after that.

6-11ish with a movie at the end.
6-9 no movie.

My parents are the biggest TV watchers
dad can't stand or understand the Internet.

I really watch tv only though. I actually hate watching stuff online. It doesn't feel as cosy as a TV viewing I do enjoy almost anything except for reality shows, broken aerials and ads.

I am also a recipient of an extremely ancient form of human entertainment. I listen to the radio.

I only listen radio at my workplace, but I've one major problem with it: regardless which listening to which more general music station, you hear the same limited amount of songs on every of those networks, with sometimes a few new hits, but still in the same annoying repeat mode. Your only option is with or without a dj.

I use the w3 consortium for almost all my needs .
TV News is not "news" it is pablum for the masses. It is sit still and shut up for a few minutes til we get to the real point, selling you stuff...Programming the wee minds of the masses.
I refuse.
Cooking shows make me hungry. and I am poor.. sigh
I watch movies generally documentaries online.
Reality shows are my dirty filthy pleasure.......
I admit
I love them
Sick I know. I watch them online, commercial free.
It's awesome

poor you

I love TV I mean I really REALLY really love TV, but I rarley get to watch it, why, WHY because those people in the TV won't let me. They are always interrupting me and whatnot!!

The only channel I watch is called Fine Living (it's a mashup of american shows from the Food Network, Travel Channel and stuff like that) because it was all about recipes, home decor, people wanting to buy a house abroad and so on, but lately all the air is Bizzarre foods, Man vs Food and shitty stuff like Hotel Impossible and Restaurant impossible which I hate.
I watch plenty of movies and tv shows but never from actual tv channels.

Yes, but it's getting harder and harder to find anything decent on tv.
I like to watch some programs on HGTV: Fixer Upper, Property Brothers, Lakefront & Beachfront Bargain Hunt, Caribbean Life, etc., etc.

I rarely ever watch tv because so much of it is stupid junk. In other words, (NO I DONT WANNA KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS! GO AWAY!)

Last time I tried to watch tv was attempting to watch the GOP debates for America's 2016 election. But our living room tv hasn't been used in so long that it didn't work. So I gave up and decided to look the stuff up online the next day.

Okay, I was reading a news story about AI and robots, and ran across a reference to this "Humans" television series.

It's British, and hard to understand, and Amazon only has 6 episodes.

Edit: ... hard for me to understand...

No slight of the British was intended.

I'm hard of hearing, and have issues with language (I cannot hear my own speech impediment unless someone plays a recording of it back to me), so it is especially difficult for me to understand when the euphemisms and colloquialisms are unfamiliar. I can "fill in the blanks" if what is being said is a common phrase, but British usage is not that familiar to me.

I kinda need subtitles.

I watched First Blood on thursday. It was after dinner, I was bored, zapping through the channels for something interesting (but all the interesting things seem to be during pre exam and exam time, highly inconvenient ) and then RAMBO, and I was like, "Hi Rambo dude, long time no see, let's watch you get bloody and sweaty because 1980s action movies"

Nope, I watch everything online now. The only reason I even still have a TV is for console gaming and DVDs/videos.

We only watch television or movies at night, and only on-demand type viewing (HBO/Netfix/Amazon, etc.). An hour a day or the time spent watching one movie is enough. Right now we're watching "Peaky Blinders" Series (Season) 2. <3

But, I have to admit that once in a blue moon, we go on a binge when a show we really like has all the new episodes available right away.
