At least 4-5 hours a day!

I usually watch Attack of the Show at 7 and then i love to watch tv shows from 8 to 11!

Now there's alot of free spaces inbetween those but at the beginning of the fall season i had a show every day of the week (except friday) from 8 to 11! Hell there's even some i couldn't watch and had to download!

So yeah i watch at least 3 hours of TV a day minimum. The rest i spend on the internet or playing videogames. (Playing F.E.A.R at the moment)

I love TV!

Well, I think I added it up, and it was 40 hours for a week. Pretty much my second full-time job.

Keeping track of the hours and what I watch was basically my entire reason to start up a second blog that only serves to record everything I've watched. Kind of scary actually.

4 hours a day seems right for me. But that includes 2 hours of late night (Letterman/Conan/Ferguson).

Well, what counts as actual TV watching? If having a TV on counts, then probably 95% of my waking hours - it's a newsroom type situation here at work, so we've got CNN on all day. There's 8 hours right there, and I haven't even gotten home yet.

In terms of actual, sit-on-the-couch, dedicated TV watching, it's hard to estimate because it fluctuates day to day, season to season. Right now I spend a lot of time doing other stuff because nothing is on. Plus, does catching up on other shows via downloaded (shh) or DVD episodes count as TV watching? If that's the case, cramming two seasons of 24 into the last couple weeks definitely ups my quota for December.

I watch 2.5-3 hours a day. But all of that is time-shifted and commercial-free, so it's really 4-4.5 "TV hours."

Just think, if the average American watches 4.5 hours of TV each day, those without commercial-skipping capabilities are sitting through more than 500 hours of commercials--more than 3 solid weeks, or 6.25 percent of their lives!

I'm definitely in the 4-5 hours per day and twice as much on the weekend. What else is there to do?

Probably about 3-4 hrs.

I don't know if it's sad or not but i'm in front of a 'screen' pretty much all the time every day

I work in front of my computer for 7 hours at work, then i come home and get on the internet, then i watch tv and then i play videogames. All on 'screens'

Then on weekends i watch TV and movies with the girlfriend and go see movies on another type of screen..

Wow the only time i'm not staring into a screen is when i'm sleepin.. heh

2 to 3 hours. But, thanks to Tivo I get to watch 4 hours worth of TV in that time.

Well, this is incredibly difficult to say since, right now for example, most of the shows I watch are in reruns, which I often don't watch. So now I'm probably getting in three hours per day. When new episodes start being aired, however, that can easily jump up to four, five, or even six if there are some good movies on TV that week.

Monday through Friday, maybe 5 hours, most of that is on Fridays. I'm out the door for 0630, I get home long enough to turn on the TV at 2300 most nights. By the time I grab my shower and get ready for bed it's 2330, time for a Family Guy rerun and sleep.

It's on all weekend, but, most of that time it's ignored. Grey's and Housewives are the only shows I follow regularly.

yeah, about a half hour tops. i'm usually over at joystiq; thought i'd swing by and see what was happenin'. more than 3 hours a day? i'm grossed out. i don't even game more than a half hour a day. i encourage you guys to learn an instrument or an outdoorsish job. go build something or volunteer. or watch tv, you know- either way works.
