At home, never. If I'm at someone else's house I'll watch if that's what they're doing. It's only a social activity for me now, I haven't watched TV alone in a long time.

If I'm very lonely, sometimes I will, but I'm mostly internet addicted, to be honest

At least there's a bit more interaction online.

Currently, one of the people I live with hogs the TV. I sometimes get a tad annoyed about it, but it's really a blessing in disguise to some extent, because it keeps me from watching it. haha.

I do like a lot of educational shows, though, but I'm not immune to some of the silly stuff.

I don't watch tv here, in german, but i do watch some series on my computer. So without the adverts. Krime/Thrillerseries are really a way to relax as i don't take them to seriously. I like Dexter, Criminal Intent, Law and Order, Lie to me, Southland, Numb3rs etc. But... i do watch out that i don't watch to many.
Also documentaries, naturemovies, arthouse movies but i do see that as important.

It is the zapping and the adverts that really bore me. And also having your tv (in my case computer) on the whole day.

I used to watch a lot of tv in the past, almost every evening.
But since coming here I changed a lot of things, quiting tv is one of them and I don't miss it at all.
The only thing I still watch are the F1 races, but I tape (or download) that so I can skip the commercial breaks.
I also like movies alot. But I rather watch a dvd or go the movies so I have my own choice instead of to watch what other people chose for me.

sometimes i will watch shows on the internet, but I do not own a tv and never plan to. i think it's of very little value and find that my life is richer without it.

Geeze...Give up DEXTER? When's the new season start? Anybody know?

I used to watch a lot of TV growing up but I cannot watch 99% of the shows on TV nowadays. I only watch a handful of fox news, REAL crime shows (first 48) and sometimes animal planet/TLC.

But, during hockey/football season, all I want to do is watch sports!
