do you feel addicted to tv? how much do you watch it?
i'm really starting to hate tv. all i really watch is sports and the occasional comedy show, but I watch WAY more than i should.
it's cool to relax and watch a game but i feel like i do it every night to escape from my mind. i agree with a lot of people that tv is the opiate of the masses...it's a pretty numbing and useless activity when you think about it.

I do not own a TV. I watch stuff through the internet, but I can't really say I watch made for television programming.
I have never had a cable television subscription in the last 7 years.
Hilariously enough, I worked as a cable salesman selling people Time Warner Cable over the phone and through the internet.

I watch the news... but when it gets too heavy...
cartoons!
Otherwise its just background noise while I drink my morning cup of coffee.

the news is always heavy.
"today a young man was murdered on the west side"
"economic collapse is on its way..."
"conflict between iran and the us is escalating"
"student loan debt is increasing..."
ughh i hate the news! they throw in a just enough "lighthearted" stories to make it look like they aren't totally fucking nuts...

I don't watch much tv, but am addicted to a few shows. Game of Thrones and a few shows from the UK. I mainly watch them on the internet though.

I've never liked television and now that I'm living solo I don't own one.
I often find myself loading up a comedy show or something to watch while I cook/eat or take a break from school work. I still don't enjoy it, I just can't find anything else to numb my brain enough to get a break without having me fall asleep.

Never really been that drawn to Tv. I watch it but have no problems going without or turning it off. Unlike the internet which I am fully addicted to and cannot escape what so ever

i haven't watched tv in eight days which is a huge accomplishment for me.
i've watched some youtube videos and streamed the coachella music festival, but i don't really count that.
i just flat out decided i wasn't gonna watch it and replaced it with other activities. honestly i prolly replaced all that "tv time" with internet time, but whatever...i still think it's better than tv.
