That's not to say he's watching it; it's mostly background noise unless some story catches his eye. <br /><br />I have, however, discovered a new detestable passion for online video games. Talk about a total waste of time!Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-71230140834954509302010-05-14T12:28:18.927-05:002010-05-14T12:28:18.927-05:00Yeah, there's too much TV in the house. I try...Yeah, there's too much TV in the house. I try to limit it, but I'm prone to turning on the Disney Channel so I can get supper cooked in peace. Unfortunately, the TV isn't going anywhere soon because my husband works for Turner and thus our livelihood is based on ye olde boob tube. I really only watch Castle, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and Leverage--but we also watch tons of sports and The Daily Show and the Colbert Report as the occasional treat. <br /><br />DVR has changed our lives, though. Hubby and I usually work out for an hour to an hour and a half each night, and anything we want to watch will be there waiting for us instead of interrupting us.<br /><br />Great food for thought! There's no telling what I would accomplish if I gave up TV, wine, and about half of my Internet time. Oh, well.Sally Kilpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039471463120977692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-9585648770381663092010-05-14T09:04:47.533-05:002010-05-14T09:04:47.533-05:00I don't watch a lot of tv.

Growing up in Canada with 1 TV, 2 channels and a family of 6 meant that there was little on that I wanted to watch - besides Hockey Night in Canada. <br /><br />I was glued to it during the Olympics but now I watch perhaps 5 or 6 hours a week? American Idol, Oprah once or twice a week and the local news. Oh, and the Stanley Cup playoffs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696255304905485685noreply@blogger.com
