    Default Who else doesn't watch tv?

    I feel like am I one of very few who doesn't watch tv. Everybody's talking about all these different shows and I am clueless. I do like a good movie and will watch the news but I just rather stay on the internet or read. Anybody else like this?

    I rarely watch TV anymore. I do like (make that obsess over) seeing "Lost", but that's about it. On occasion I enjoy the History channel, or Discovery channel. Sometimes I watch the news, but 99% of the time I prefer the readable internet. News on TV mostly can be distilled down to a few sentences and video clips. The pundits and reporters rarely have much to say of interest that I can't read in a few sentences. I'd rather play a game, read a book, work out, listen to music, take a drive, get drunk, play with my cat, take a vacation, etc., then watch TV. That said, there are a couple of series like the Sopranos that I enjoyed on DVD, commercial free, wait free. I wouldn't have had the patience to tune in if it was on TV though.

    I do not own a working television. I have a TV that plays DVD's because I like to watch movies every once in awhile, but it gets no TV signal at all. I find I am much happier without television, although somebody needs to get me a copy of the second season of "Big Love" RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!

    Only Rock of Love, and sometimes Family Guy. I don't have cable, and use bunny ears for the few times I watch my own tv....

    I concluded long ago I'd be a full-fledged shut-in if I owned cable. So I don't. I do watch some pretty, HDTV over-the-air signals. And Public Broadcasting (and Family guy). And I have a good DVD player (with an HDMI cable) here on the 52" DLP set for rentable movies.

    I don't have one. But even when I did I didn't watch much. I miss my L&O, Daily Show, and Colbert Report (the 't' is silent)

    I hardly ever watch tv and when I do its usually something unpopular.
    I have no idea who most famous people are and I have absolutly no interest in finding out.

    I used to not have a tv, but since living with my boyfriend we had to get a TV and a TiVo...as a result, I watch a lot more tv, but not nearly as much as the average American. I'd rather read, or do something else.
    Where I put my foot down is no TV in the bedroom. I refuse to put one in there. Bedrooms are for sex and sleep. period.

    I only get to watch TV at hotels during bookings, since the people I live with monopolize the TV.

    I really don't. Pretty much just when I go home to visit the parents and have nothing better to do. Here I'm too busy with sites like stripperweb!

    I did have a pretty strong obsession for House but then it got a little repetitive. So, no TV except an occasional dog show for me or football game for boyfriend. And now I have roommates that watch TV 24/7. I have my own but I don't get cable in my room.

    And somehow I still manage to stay up on major news and pop culture. Damn. I could care less about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton yet still feel like I'm forced to know everything about them
    Order Avon through my website!

    We have 5 TVs dotted around the house but I'm somewhat ADD. Unless I'm watching a captivating movie/DVD with the fam' or catching a much-anticipated sports event, I would rather be online, reading and/or listening to music...

    I do watch a good amount of Tv dvds, but I don't have an actual tv. I'd kinda like one to catch some Mystery! and Law & Order and Daily Show. I CANNOT cope with commercials though. I get seriously angry at them.

    I'm considering one of those thin tvs, so I can hide it.

    I completely agree. When I was married my ex couldn't sleep without it so he'd go to the other room.

    I don't even have cable set up. I have a tv, and I'll watch movies every now and then. But for the most part, the tv is kept off.

    I'd rather read a book or go online.

    Awwee, Cally likes Still Standing and Roseanne! I HEART them both so hard. I love my tv. I live alone and have to have some kind of noise while I am studying.

    Mine was like that for a year or two and I was quite happy. But in the UK you have to pay a TV license whether your TV gets a signal or not, so I thought sod it I may as well get a TV that works.

    I admire those of you that can do without. I need TV on almost all the time..or radio or something. If I dont have background noise ...the noise in my head gets deafening.

    Of course...I rarely actually watch it...I am online or reading or cleaning or working out..blah blah
