I rarely watch TV. And when I do watch, it's news and sitcoms exclusively.

I watched "Suburgatory" last night. It's a show about a girl and her dad who used to live in new york but moved to the suburbs and she hates it. Last night he left hr home alone...it was really good!

I don't watch TV at all, for the same reason I don't read newspapers.

I hardly watch TV at all mostly due to lack of time( I rather spend it on the GoF :P:). The only things I watch atm are the German TV eps every weekend :DD
Inactive, probably forever.

Let's see, about...10,000 hours a day!  :lol

In all seriousness, I watch TV when I can, which is...what, rarely.

I still don't watch tv, not having the digital thing.  Like I posted before I watch video on the pc, but also on my tablet.

I barely watch any television.  I usually check the local news in the morning and will otherwise abstain from television unless severe weather or other breaking news events occur.

What..? TV shows? Have you been talking with my parents?
Lol in all seriousness, not much nowadays - not having cable helps a tong. I mostly watch movies and even then not that much. I'll pop in a VCR or a DVD maybe every other day and kick back and enjoy it :DD

I only turn my TV on when I need to watch my favorite and also only show, The Walking Dead. Other than that I don't open the thing anymore, I watch movies online now.  :p

I never watch tv. If I happen to do, it's usually because I'm in the kitchen and my brothers are watching (we can see the television from the kitchen)... Or when someone has a tv on at their place and we have little else to do. You won't find me sitting down in front of the television myself, as my computer provides more than enough addiction to fill my precious time with.
This is still true for me, however I do have a Netflix subscription now that I use about 1.5 hours a day. I watch 2 episodes each day during my commute :)

When you say "watch TV", it depends on your interpretation of the meaning.

If you mean watching something as it airs on TV through antenna or cable, not that much really.  The only time I do that is at work during my breaks, right before work or right after work.

However, I do watch many streaming services.  I have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Anime Tube Unlimited and recently Cartoon Tube TV and Tubi TV.  All of which are on various devices connected to my TV.  On top of that, I have various movies on an external hard drive connected to the same TV.

If you mean the latter, quite a bit.  I feel a little addicted to these streaming services.  Heck, I'm looking forward to Disney's take on it.  You can bet money that I'm getting it.  Yeah, I'm planning an adjustment so I can pay for these.  Sure, the extra money I have is helping, but it won't last.

Usually I watch 1-2 hours of TV, probably just to watch a few sitcoms or 1 movie.  Most of the time I spend on TV however is just playing on the Wii U (yes, I still play on that console, don’t judge me).

Basically none. Very rarely me and the husband will watch something notable on Netflix or Disney+ (recent candidates were The Witcher, WandaVision, Star Wars Visions and Beastars season 2), but we're only tuning in for that specific thing. We don't have actual scheduled TV time.

I haven't watched anything on "live" TV for years, unless someone else is sat in the room watching something (and even then, I'll tune out and do something on my phone or laptop).

Even streaming services I rarely use these days. I like a good fantasy series every now and again but I have to be in the mood to sit down and watch something.

None.  My audiovisual content is now pretty much limited to streaming services, YouTube, and Spotify. That being said, in the few moments I do happen to watch free television I have noticed an impressive drop in quality in free television over the last 20 years.
