[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 360503, member: 135"] I think I WATCH very little TV but I have 5 in my house and I pay way more than I should for satellite TV; of course, I live in a rural area and cable is not available so if I did not have satellite I would get one channel (Fox) when the weather was right. I turn my TV on when I get up in the morning and watch the morning news to see if all of the world is still here. Then I leave it on through Regis and The View and go and watch if something sounds interesting although I don't just sit there and watch. After that it goes off until Jeopardy at 4:30. While I watch the 5 o'clock local news from 100 miles east and the 5:30 network news and the 6 o'clock local news from 75 miles west I am also doing the puzzles in my daily paper (Sudoku, Jumble, Cryptoquote, and two crosswords. At night I watch what I consider very little (1 hour on Monday, 2 hours on Tuesday, none on Wednesday, 3 hours on Thursday, and none on Friday or Saturday (unless there is something really special that I want to see). I do watch PBS Mystery on Sunday when it is on. Is that a little or a lot? I think maybe it's relative. My mother is 95 and has her TV on from morning till bedtime but I don't think she's really WATCHING; it's just a human voice in the room with her. Don't think there is anything wrong with that. I would probably watch more if there were something on I wanted to watch but most shows are such drivel that I go crazy trying to watch. Every time I do find something interesting they take it off. I don't care which bachelor picks which airhead (they all need to get a life first; then maybe they'd be interesting enough that somebody would want them without having to put themselves up for sale on TV), which crazy person appears before which judge (I have enough nuts in my own life without watching them on TV), which overpaid celebrity is doing whatever with which other of the same, etc. Thank God for my books and my library.
