Do you watch TV?...at all?

[mechanixis]

The Daily Show, Game of Thrones, and Star Trek. I have to agree that television advertising generally makes me squirm with how insidious/awful it is. When I can, I find what I want to watch online.

 

[TaylorPaige09]

I rarely watch TV anymore, but when I do, it's usually a Showtime or HBO series such as:

Nurse Jackie
Shameless
Dexter
The Ricky Gervais Show
The Borgias
Boardwalk Empire

and of course the occasional re-run of Seinfeld on TBS.

However, about 98% of the time I'm playing games or on the internet.

Not really, only if I'm having lunch with my mom. Whatever I wanna watch, I get it on the PC and view it from here, without having to bear through the fucking commercials and being able to pause, stop and rewind it whenever I want (you'd be surprised how many little things you can miss when watching crap on the telly that you can rewind/pause for to enjoy on the PC).

 

[DreadfulSorry]

I don't have many tv channels either; just a few basic channels were bundled with my high speed internet. Ever since I went to college I've started to find most of my entertainment on the internet (insert pr0n joke here) and through video games. There are a few channels I probably would watch on a regular basis if I did have cable, but the way I see it, I'm never really bored enough to actually want it, so why would I want the extra expense.

 

[Puzzlenaut]

Not until Game of Thrones came on I didn't.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Just one CBS sitcom and a lot of America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country. Otherwise it's just Netflix and Youtube.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

No I don't. Only thing I watched was bbc untill the snack bar next door started redecorating and my free cable was probably cut in the process about 4 months ago.
It just made me cringe anyways...

Did you know...
You actually have less brain activity watching tv than just sitting still?

 

[TheShogun]

I do watch television regularly, mostly for sports events though. I have started to watch Game of Thrones on television however. I'm loving it.

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

I don't pay to have commercials removed, so with some very rare exceptions, I just use the TV to play my Xbox on.

 

[Puzzlenaut]

Snipped the aerial three year's ago, cancelled the TV license and have never looked back. Highly recommended.

oh yeah...you have to have a liscence to have a TV in briton right?

if youll excuse my language....thats sooo...fucking....stupid, like are you going to abuse it by making your children watch terrible shows or somthing?

really Im just...amazed at the very Idea

Well its had the effect of doing a lot to ensure the impartiality of the news stations -- not only the BBC (which TV licenses pay for, btw), but of all others as nobody would watch them if they thought the BBC was the only one not biased.

Compare the situation to that of America -- an abomination like Fox News could not exist in Britain, and TV licenses are the reason why.

 

[AMAZED]

Burn Notice, Castle, The Mentalist, Chuck, The Middle, Mythbusters, The Walking Dead, Psyche (sort of), The Smoking Gun: world dumbest..., Eureka, AFV, SGU, Chicago Code. Yea I watch TV.

 

[Warlord211]

Really I usually just watch G4 and Comedy Central. Sometimes I'll watch NBC comedies such as Community or 30 Rock, but everything else is pretty much shit nowadays.

 

[AntonicKnight]

Only the news...

 

[infohippie]

I don't have an antenna connected. Do the few shows I stream from my media server count?

 

[TwistedEllipses]

I don't have a TV at uni and my TV at home is used almost exclusively for my Xbox360. I do however make a good use of online sources for TV shows like BBC iplayer...

 

[Geamo]

I hardly ever watch the television, but I do watch a number of TV shows on my PC. Notably Castle, Community, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Batman Beyond, Batman the animated series, Robot Chicken, Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Top Gear.

 

[Ara69]

I don´t watch tv at all, I prefer getting my series and movies without commercials and stupidly long breaks between episodes, so of course I buy it all on dvd *coughs*

I mean, even the music channels is nothing but trashy drama these days.

 

[Treblaine]

Not since BBC iplayer and generous youtube uploaders.

 

[Particulate]

Burn notice, Breaking Bad, Glee, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Law and Order, Justified, Rescue Me, just to name a few.

And I like commercials too, gives me a time to go to the bathroom/ refill my drink

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Nope, I don't even have cable and haven't for years. I just use my tv for video games
