I always have to chuckle a little bit when I see articles like this (and we see a couple of them every single year) that tell us how many hours a day we watch television. Because while the "average American" watches 4 1/2 hours of a television a day (or 1555 hours a year), I must spend at least double that, around 10 hours a day.

The other statistics don't really surprise me though. The Census Bureau says we spend around 10 hours total a day watching TV, listening to the radio, listening to music, surfing the web, and reading magazines and newspapers. Now, I think all of those things are just a part of everyone's day and there's really nothing surprising about it. That's a lot of territory, and the rest of the time of course has to be done eating, commuting, working, talking on the phone, and sleeping.

How many hours a day do you spend watching television?
