How many hours of television do you watch daily?

dawsongirl · 07-15-2002, 09:13 PM

Not too much anymore. Only about 3 hours a day.

Brian · 07-15-2002, 09:47 PM

I don't watch a lot of TV since I got a job and summer school last month. I do like to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes I have on tape in my spare time but I'd say I watch one or two hours of TV a day when I don't, even on Saturdays and Sundays. There just isn't a lot to watch on TV during the weekends anymore.

DarleneIllyria · 07-16-2002, 12:43 AM

I don't watch as much tv as I used to. Most days I either watch it 2 to 3 hours. That's about it.

James · 07-16-2002, 02:18 AM

Nowadays I only watch 30 minutes per day (Jeopardy!) at home (having taped it), plus the CBS Evening News (at least part)at work. I guess that's less than an hour!

JT · 07-16-2002, 02:33 PM

OMG! I must be the oddball here!
Let's add it all up:

1 hour of Magnum P.I.
1 hour of Dark Shadows
1 hour of Three's Company
1 hour of Hart to Hart
1 hour of All My Children
1 hour of The Rookies
1 hour of My Three Sons
1 hour of Mama's Family
1 hour of The Facts of Life
30 minutes of Saved by the Bell (taped from earlier)
30 minutes of Kate & Allie (taped from earlier)
1 hour of The Twilight Zone
1 hour of The Love Boat
30 minutes of The Donna Reed Show (taped from earlier)
30 minutes of The Munsters (sometimes)
1 hour of anything
30 minutes of The Simpsons
30 minutes of Gilligan's Island
30 minutes of Gidget
30 minutes of The Flying Nun

And together, that's 16 hours out of a 24 hour day, meaning I get about 8 hours a sleep each day. That's not even counting the weekends.....

TJL · 07-16-2002, 05:33 PM

Oh, I'd say about five or six hours a day.
I turn a TV on when I get home from work, and it stays on until I go to sleep. Usually it's just on in the background while i do other things.
It's on pretty much all day on weekends.

Addicted? Naaaaah!

Sean Snow · 07-16-2002, 06:09 PM

It depends on what day it is. LOL I need to make a listing like JT to figure it out..:

Average Weekday
1 hour of Dark Shadows
1 hour of The Facts of Life

So that's 2 hours. I usually watch something random for an hour or two..or I'd rather not think baout the number of hours lol. Sometimes I'll pop in a tape.

Tuesdays
1 hour of Dark Shadows
1 hour of The Facts of Life
4 hours of Three's Company (I don't watch it till Wednesday, but oh well)

So that's sorta six [since I don't watch TC till the next day]

1 hour of The Facts of Life
1 hour of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
30 mins. of The Monkees

and some other random stuff

Sundays
30 minutes of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show
30 minutes of Hazel

Okay, let's see...

Weekdays-
2 hrs. of the KTLA Morning News
1 or 1.5 total hours of Family Feud
30 min. of Entertainment Tonight

So about 4 hrs.

Weekends vary too much.

ZeldaGilroy · 07-16-2002, 10:45 PM

I do not watch very much TV during the school year because I am a teacher and I work all day...but during the summer I watch way too much! Let's see...hmmm

before 12:00 (The TV is usually on Noggin or PBS because I don't let my 4 year old watch a lot of other stuff. I don't count this as my TV viewing because believe me I'd prefer to watch something else.)

12:00-1:00/Days of Our Lives (1 hour, while my daughter takes her nap)

2:00-3:00/My Three Sons (1 hour...if I have time)

3:00-4:00/The Cosby Show (1 hour, if I am home I watch it)

4:00-5:00/The Facts Of Life (1 hour, if I'm at home)

6:00/Local KSNT News( 30 minutes )

7:00-10:00/ I usually watch various network programs, but not every day...it depends on what I am doing or what is on.

10:00/ Local KSNT News (35 minutes)

11:00-12:00/ MAD TV ( It's nice to have a good laugh before bedtime)

So I guess if I have a chance to watch all of these shows (Not including PBS/Noggin) the most time I spend watching TV in one day is 9hrs 5min. AHHHHHH! Don't tell my teacher friends! I'd probably be banned from the teacher's union for allowing my brain to rot! LOL

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-17-2002, 09:30 AM

About 8 or 9 hrs.

Czas na Zywiec · 07-17-2002, 11:59 AM

Well I work at a hotel so I have nothing else to do all day but TV and internet, and It's driving me nuts. So lets say I wathc too much. Is that ok?
