How much TV do you watch?

[Bryancd]

With all of the shows that people love so much and discuss here on the forum, I was curious to hear how many hours per week do you watch TV. DVR's and Tivo have really made consuming media so much easier where you cna sit down for 2 hours and bang out a lot of content as opposed to sitting through broadcast with commercials and at specific times. So what say you Treks in Sci Fi?!

Right now, as the new season starts, I would say I watch 6-7 hours of specific weekly programs either alone or with Jamie.

Ever since BSG went off the air, I don't watch TV at all.  I'll watch Caprica once it comes back, so that will bring me to one hour a week.

That's so funny, I included Caprica in my estimate, although I have not been to thrilled with the end of last season. Most of what we watch is "reality" shows like Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Hells Kitchen although that one looks bad this season. For sitcoms we love Modern Family and I watch Clone Wars.

I'd say on average about 1-1.5 hours a night give or take. We usually watch whatever the DVR recoded the night before. If we're having a 'lazy' weekend we may bang out 2 or 3 hours of a single show (Mad Men season 2 right now). If the weekend is busy then we don't. We really treat TV as the last priority, once the work day, workouts, dinner, cleaning and anything else is taken care of. If the two of us are together, we'll sit down and watch.

Oddly we rarely watch tv on our own.

Currently I'm watching or plan to watch:

Dexter
Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men (over soon)
Survivor
The Office
Always Sunny In Phila
Smallville
Big Bang
Walking Dead
Weeds

I know I'm forgetting something but that adds up to about 7 hours without accounting for movies.

Yeah Jamie and I try and find 1 hour per night of TV we can watch together.

I don't watch much television (maybe 2-3 hours a week).  The Clone Wars is a must.  I watch most of my SciFi on DVD.

Usually a show or two a night, except on a couple nights.  Think you guys know pretty much what I watch.  Most of it is time shifted and commercial free, which turns an hour show into about 41 minutes.

P.S.  Oh, and I watch no "reality TV." 

[Blackride]

We watch about 7-8 hours a week. Not much.

I find it curious that you would specifically mention that you don't watch "reality TV."  I'm certain you don't watch daytime soap operas or Nickelodeon teen shows as well but you did not feel the need to mention those...

[orangegorn]

I don't watch television during the week.  Not even the news anymore.  Weekends are a different story.  I'm a big dvd tv series watcher.   My wife and I are on a Little House on the Prairie kick right now.   Then I'll pop in a TOS dvd or some other fun series and watch with my son.

I was just yanking his chain because I felt some heat on the Big Bang thread last week about admitting I liked Survivor...;)

I'm certain you don't watch <snip> Nickelodeon teen shows

I actually laughed aloud; while not produced by Nickelodeon they are the primary US broadcaster: of Degrassi - one of the greatest shows ever! :)
