On average, how many hours of television do you watch every week? Do you think it's too much?

I don't really watch much TV, I usually have HLN on in the background while I'm on gather or playing with my kids. I'd say I watch about 8 hours or so a week, including weekends. We watch a lot of movies, actually, I watch the movies my hubby and AJ chose. I don't really care about TV or Movies.

I think I may watch about 40 hours of TV a week. There are shows that we never miss, then there are sports that we watch together, and I will watch shows with the kids.

I very seldom watch TV.
Usually the news.
Maurice K. Oct 2, 2009, 1:50pm EDT
Zero. I watch TV so rarely that it's not worth talking about.
Sidewinder 7 Oct 2, 2009, 1:51pm EDT
Perhaps the classical music channel for about 2-3 hours.

I have the tv on but rarely watch it. I mostly have it for background noise. Like when I am working or sleeping.
Elizabeth R. Oct 2, 2009, 5:40pm EDT
Same here. Can't say that I watch most of what is showing.

I watch about fifteen hours per week, including weekends. There are some favorite shows I watch daily or tape to view later.

I watch about 10-12 hours a week, plus however long the Nascar race is, if I catch it.

My TV is on right now, on Disney, but no one is watching it. Elliott is drawing and not paying any attention to it, and until I looked up a few minutes ago, I didn't even know what show was on.

It depends on the week. Some weeks we watch a lot and then others hardly any. Thursday night is our favorite TV night right now, Flash Forward, Fringe and then Trailer Park Boys!
Top Chef~Flipping Out and FlashForward are the only shows I watch now~some Music channels here and there, a little Discover and Science~maybe around 12 hours in a seven day period~

Sarah (I want points) Oct 2, 2009, 2:58pm EDT
I only watch about an hour a day.
Candice(Candy) E. Oct 2, 2009, 3:04pm EDT
If Hubby is Home,the Sports or News Channels is Always On !! When I'm Home & He is Away the TV is turned Off; There is Nothing Good On anyway." Now if its Monday NIGHT We will Watch The Big Bang Theory, How I Met your Mother & Two & Half Men;then Thursday Night its Grey's Anatomy; then on Weekends He'll watch sports & I'm on the Computer,or We will Rent Movies.

I record a few things; DaVinci's Inquest, Castle, House.
Plus I have the hots for Karin Giannone on BBC World News.
There's no televised cricket in US. :-\
Len Maxwell Oct 2, 2009, 4:37pm EDT
Zero. Ever since the government "improved" our TV service, I can't get a signal where I am. I watch one or two movies each night.
Franklin W. Oct 2, 2009, 5:21pm EDT
HLN??? They suck! LOL Too many screaming weirdo women on that channel!
I watch maybe an hour of t.v. per day, longer if I'm watching a baseball game. I try to avoid the news if possible, it's depressing LOL
Elizabeth R. Oct 2, 2009, 5:44pm EDT
It's just there for background noise. Don't get good radio reception here and the microwave turns the sound into nothing but static.
glenn beck Oct 2, 2009, 6:09pm EDT
Foxnews 8 Foodnetwork 8 local news 2 late movies when one is worth watching. I like the B movies )
Janie E. Oct 2, 2009, 6:47pm EDT
I watch more TV on the weekends than I do on the weekdays. Usually, I'm listening to my classic soul music while I'm Gathering.
R B Oct 2, 2009, 6:54pm EDT
There's not a lot of sensible stuff to watch. Some peole know more about tv shows than they do their own family. Dumb.
Joanne Vicente Oct 2, 2009, 7:56pm EDT
The TV's on most of the time, but I couldn't tell you what's on, because I'm usually doing a bunch of other things. There are a few shows I hate to miss, but they're not all that entertaining. I'm kind of a news junkie!
Gary L. Oct 2, 2009, 8:17pm EDT
Amy, you watch more TV than I do.
Until lately I didnt even own one.

dreama e. Oct 2, 2009, 11:42pm EDT
I only watch tv to fall asleep to at night and its only for a few minutes
I family movies with the kids and occasionally my husband and I will watch a thriller
Katherine M. Oct 3, 2009, 1:25am EDT
Mine is on in the living room now but nobody is watching it ... I average about 20 hours tops a week give or take a few hours. I have several of the CBS shows that I watch every week. Mostly the CSI'S and Criminal Minds. I like Numbers and shows like that. I work and miss them so I have to tape for later viewing. I usually have it on GAC or CMT to listen to the countdowns but mostly its listen to it not actually watch it.
MyBaby Loves0207 Oct 3, 2009, 4:40am EDT
My tv is always on. But I very rarely watch anything that I choose. It is always the kids choice. My daughter loves her shows on Disney and Nick the most. And my son loves his Spongebob and Blue and Boots ~ Dora ~. The learning preschool channels are on the most. My boyfriend has been catching up on Heroes on the computer. He had to start from season 1.
Chris B. Oct 3, 2009, 6:09am EDT
Weird to say, but probably not enough. I record programs often and then forget to watch them. Right now I have at least two or three movies and a week's worth of the Daily Show I haven't watched yet. It's been a busy, busy week.
