Re: TV poll

  • How much TV do you watch? I probably average 2 hours a night.  I am trying to be better about getting stuff done before I let myself sit down on the couch.  We put the TV on a lot for background noise.

    What is your favorite TV show? I don't know if I have one right now.  It used to be Gossip Girl but it's been kind of hit or miss this season.  I always look forward to Lost.

    Do you watch shows live, on DVR, or on DVD? DVR has saved my life.  I rarely watch anything live anymore except for random HGTV shows or sports.

    Did any of your favorite shows get cancelled this year? I liked the "new" Scrubs and was kind of bummed that they let it fizzle out.  And Lost didn't really get cancelled but obviously is ending.  I think everything else I watch regularly is coming back.

    What show are you ashamed to admit to watching but love it anyway? Real World/Road Rules Challenge.  I have no idea why I keep watching, but I can't look away!

    Do you watch less TV in the summer after the traditional season is over? I think so, partly due to not having my regular shows sucking me in, and partly due to the nice weather and wanting to be outside.  I watch a lot of Red Sox games when I do turn the TV on.

    Do you prefer network programming or cable? I watch mostly network stuff.  I would be fine without the cable channels except for NESN, but of course you have to buy them all to get one.  I do appreciate having HGTV and the Food Network, and my DH loves ESPN.

    What was your favorite show to watch when you were a kid? When I was super little it was Sesame Street.  In elementary school I looooooved Hey Dude.  I would watch every day on TBS.

    What show do you watch that DH doesn't like? Fringe, although I think DH doesn't want to get sucked in more than he doesn't like it. 

    What show does your DH watch that you don't like? Any poker tournament, ugh.  Those put me right to sleep.

    DH and I watched the Parenthood pilot.  I thought it was really good, but it stressed him out and he said if I ever want to have kids he can not watch that show anymore.  Oh well.

    My DH travels so he hasn't been home when it's been on for the most part-- it's also on when V is on so when he's home I DVR Parenthood and watch V. DH also isnt traumatized by that stuff-- his mother is a teacher at an alternative middle/ high school and he saw/ heard of everything and anything possible.

    Mount your horse and come along
    Cause you can't get a ride if you can't hold on.

    Singin' Yippie ki yi yay
    Yippie ki yi what Like the cowboys sing

    Till the break of day.

    We don't either! A couple months ago they wanted to jack up our internet/cable package to $135! No, thanks I don't need cable that bad. We pay $50 now for just internet. For a good month though we still were getting the channels without the box, then one day the disappeared but we still pick up all the network stations.

It's too much, but I feel obligated to get caught up with everything and our DVR doesn't fit very much. I always half watch tv while cleaning, too.What is your favorite TV show? so many- Buffy, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, X-Files. Currently on tv: the Office, 30 Rock, the food network, the Martha Stewart show.Do you watch shows live, on DVR, or on DVD? all of the above, mostly DVR lately- I'm so glad we got a DVR.Did any of your favorite shows get cancelled this year? no, fortunately.

Gossip Girl, although this week he admitted he hates it less than he used to- funny, because I feel the opposite!What show does your DH watch that you don't like? nothing right now, used to be South Park, only because he watched it ALL the time, and it was just too much.
