I have my TV on most of the day to MSNBC, but I don't sit and watch..just listen. For watching, probably 2-3 hours during the week, and 4-5 on the weekends with movies.

right now, with survivor and TAR and lost and invasion and desperate housewives and grey's anatomy and the ellen degeneres show...well, a lot of good things are on, so i probably watch an average of 2-3 hours a day!
when i was a kid, we got 2-3 hours tops A WEEK! i remember getting to watch 'the flintstones' on thursday night and the 'wonderful world of disney' on sunday night. when we had been really good, we got to also watch 'shirley temple' on sunday afternoon.

Hey Kady, no need for shame. My TV is on from the time I wake up in the AM until after I fall asleep at night (I put it on a 2 hr timer before I fall asleep). If I wake up in the middle of the night I put it on (with a timer)again!!

I have a TV in every room so , while I am on the computer, the TV is on beside me for noise. This is how I "watch" the morning talk shows (Regis, Ellen, The View).

During the PM it is on CNN or CTV Newsnet while I do whatever I am doing.

During the primetime shows, I often read a book while glancing at the TV.

so I can't really answer number of hours a day???

3-4 hours, but more if football or a great old black & white movie is on.

LOL about the palace! We fell in love with a neighborhood with large lots (1+ acres) and woods and had to build a house that met the minimum square footage rules. Then my husband insisted on a full size walkout basement, so there you go. Way too much house for us and we are looking to downsize in the next few years after he retires.

Too much! On nights when I'm off school and work (which isn't often anymore) the TV is on from 4pm-11pm, but of those 7 hours I watch maybe 4.

I'd say on average I watch 4 hours a day.

About 3-5 depending on the day. It might be just on sometimes during then as background noise.

I love to watch television. I guess I should be thankful as it brought me here to TVCH. I have the TV on in the background all day when I'm home. The average I actually watch is about 6hrs. Sorry, I'm a tvoholic.

Some days I watch no TV at all so if I average over 7 days, I'd say 2 hrs per day. I do watch movies late at night though and CNN a bit if I'm home alone in the afternoon.

I turn it on while doing things around the house. Since our Dish was set up, I'd say 3 hours a day and sometimes more than that.

1 hour per day averaged over the week. I tape my shows in order to zap the adverts.

I'm watching very little TV these days. During the week, Survivor is the only show I make sure I catch. Sometimes I will watch one or both Apprentices, but not always. I usually do watch more TV on Saturday or Sunday for the football games.

I'd guess my average right now is only 1-2 hours a day.

*Actual* watching? Maybe 1 hour, max, during the week. It's on in the morning while I'm getting ready for work (mostly so's I can listen for the weather report). And the news will be on when I get home from work, but I'm running around feeding the kids (feline), unpacking work, making lunch for the next day, and so on.

However, I get to bed early on work nights, and so end up recording lots of stuff to watch on the weekends. I probably record about 12 hours worth of stuff (TAR, Survivor, the CSIs and L&Os, Desperate HW and Grey's, Lost).

So I guess I average out to just about 2.5 hours a day?

We have it on practically all day... as background, and also to watch our fave programs. Our tv also has a selection of strictly music stations like a radio... so we keep that on a lot as well when there is nothing on tv to watch. Unless we falls asleep with it on, we do shut it off at night or if we go out. LOL.

I'm a TV addict too. When I'm home the TV is on all the time. I rarely have the opportunity to just sit and watch any show or movie from start to finish. Consequently I tape many hours of TV everyday and then I watch/listen to them while I work the following day.

My tv is on if I'm downstairs, usually. I often am sort of 1/4 watching it, while on the computer, reading the paper, knitting, eating. I rarely watch upstairs anymore, oddly.

And then most of the programs I actually WATCH I watch on the DVR and ff thru commercials. I must watch 5 hours a day, most weekdays.

Weekends, less, unless there is tennis or golf but then with the gold it is really more background noice unless it is a REALLY interesting match.
