Do you watch
television? Have you channel surfed at all hours of the day? I have
spent a lot of time watching television the last two years, while on
bed rest, and I've watched all hours of the day and night. I know
what is on tv.
I have 24 hours a day satellite TV with over 100 channels plus Foxtel IQ which allows me to record programs to watch at my convenience. I've channel surfed all hours of the day, and night. Like everybody else in my family, I'm free to watch whatever I choose whenever I choose. In the past week, I've watched with my son one episode of Mythbusters and an episode of NCIS; with my wife, one episode of The Restaurant (Raymond Blanc) and a movie called Martian Child; on my own, one episode of New Tricks (UK cop show) and an episode of Eggheads (UK quiz show). Oh and I watched half an episode of Torchwood to please my wife, who's a fan, and thought it was so daft I probably will never watch Torchwood again. That's it. In a whole week. Probably an average of less than an hour of TV a day.
It's true I do watch TV for hours on end during the MLB playoffs and World Series and no doubt will be glued to the screen for a lot of the upcoming soccer World Cup - but, really, watching whatever's on TV because that's what happens to be on at the time, that's sad.
Assumimg "pro-TVers" do the same is kind of sad too.
