Did you watch any TV today?
Yes. Just watched Dr. Phil with my mom. haha.

Do you watch TV every day?
Yes, definitely. It's what I do before I go to bed or in the 45 min gap between school and work.

How much TV do you watch each week, on average?
Probably about 20 hours a week. haha.

What shows do you prefer?
I'm watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. LOVE IT.
And Adventure Time is my favorite cartoon EVER.
I also watch stuff with the family: Walking Dead, New Girl, Survivor, Big Bang, How I Met Your Mother, Parenthood, Game of Thrones, Dexter, and Modern Family.

Do you have a favourite show that pains you to miss an episode?
Definitely Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Adventure Time.

Also bad tv show habit:
Eating and watching television. Deadly combination...

nah

none
What shows do you prefer?
Something with mystery and fantasy themes. A lot of absurdist humor is good, too. I loved Sea Lab 2021's first season, for instance. Game of Thrones is pretty good, but I tend to prefer animation.

nada

I don't even own a TV anymore. If I want to catch an episode of something really bad I'll just find a way to watch it online, but there aren't any series I'm really into right now.

If I'm really bored and there's a TV in front of me, I might watch a program about history or science.

Why would you want to watch episodes of something really bad?

Yes.

Most.

About 10 hours a week, I'd guess.

Right now, I gravitate towards The Late Late Show, Castle, New Girl, & Saturday Night Live. Every once in a while I get to catch Adventure Time, too.

None that are currently airing, no.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I watch an hour or two a day most days depending on what's on, though a lot of times when surfing the web or playing a PC game, I have the TV on as background noise.


Haven't turned my TV on yet, but I will be watching Survivor. This is my favorite show, though this season is pretty weak because of the lackluster cast. I've seen every English language episode of Survivor, except the last half of Survivor South Africa season 4, which I can't find anywhere.


Mostly I watch reality TV. I like the competition and scheming aspect, but I also find it more reliable. These networks are so quick to pull the plug on everything, which is why I don't bother watching most new shows, particularly scripted shows that are more expensive to produce, because they're probably just going to be cancelled in their first season anyway. I believe the last time I watched a show that did not get cancelled right away was Heroes (2006). Once Upon a Time and Revolution look like they may just last, though.

Nah.

Not really.

How much TV do you watch each week, on average?
Eh... a couple hours.

What shows do you prefer?
Parks & Recreation, notch. I also follow Modern Family, Community, and The Office.

Do you have a favourite show that pains you to miss an episode?
DVR and Hulu exist... so... not really. But if it weren't for those I'd kick myself if I missed Parks & Recreation.

At our new house, we've decided to not have cable on any kind. As such, I can't watch the TV I'm used to... but I would usually watch the one hour long dramas on USA and TNT. Then if I had nothing better to do, I'd watch WWE.

Jen's taken to watching Twin Peaks and Glee on Netflix.

The owls are NOT what they seem.
