Do you watch TV
Jump to: Newest in thread
I enjoyed Beyond Paradise on a Friday evening. It was a gentle introduction to the weekend. I love Bettany Hughes recent programmes and I'm a big fan of Alice Roberts. Have I Got News For You, Clarkson's Farm and After Life are favourites too.

I have a TV but it is rarely on other than for background noise
I will watch occasionally - I enjoy Simon Reeve's programmes and liking the Michael Palin 'Nigeria' series
Other than that, Antiques Roadshow lulls me into bed on a Sunday, but I don't religiously watch much - I would never set my calendar to what is on TV and I don't have any recording devices or streaming services
So, if it's on, I'll watch it, if I miss it, I miss it |

Oh actually there is one I like but can't watch!
24 hours in police custody
I find it fascinating how they piece things together
I get too animated by 'No comment' interviews though
So, as they are generally on at bedtime, I can't watch them, cos I end up trying to get off to sleep whilst being wound up to fuck  |

I used to watch things like 'helicopter medic' but found myself assuming medical knowledge I didn't actually have. I do enjoy the fly on the wall ambulance shows though. |

Eastenders and Match Of The Day are the two programs I try not to miss.The rest of the time I either flick through the freeview channel trying to see if there is anything worth watching like currently the snooker is on BBC2 or switch the television off |

Yes, there’s usually at least one series at any given time that I’ll be watching on either terrestrial or streaming.
I do watch a lot of stuff on YouTube too, but the majority of that is interest based (training, martial arts, guitar, cars, etc.)
It’s the only way I switch off; can’t read more than a paragraph in a book without thinking of a million other things. |

Besides sporting events, I haven't watched TV regularly since about 2001.
Frankly, TV has looked kind of obsolete to me ever since I discovered video games at age 6.
I just didn't see how adults could sit in front of a non-interactive image projection box, with very little variety of content, for such a long time and remain entertained. |

Knowing your love of rugby, I admit there’s been some brilliant games on TV since 2001 |

It probably won't surprise you to find out that I've successfully managed to miss all of those, plus any rugby that's been played since about 1995  |

I go through stages. If I do watch tv it’s usually a documentary or a series but I can easily go months without turning a tv on.
I would much rather read than watch tv.
I love music though so always have that on.

I do watch television, but nowhere near as much as I used to do, mainly due to changes in lifestyle habits and the plethora of streaming services, of which I only subscribe to one. Sadly, Freeview seems to consist of the more mundane programmes, except for the occasional gem, in my humble opinion, and this is probably why my consumption has dwindled over the years. |

I have not "watched TV for around 20 years, and not owned one for the last 9 1/2 years,
since being alone. I don't listen to the radio, and I don't take newspapers as I much prefer to use toilet tissue. |

I think I even remember the last rugby match I watched. I believe the 'world' (lol) cup final between South Africa and New Zealand.
It was the year when Jonah Lomu was bulldozing through everyone and to be fair he was box-office.
I remember the final being a right stinker though, no tries got scored it was all drop goals, Lomu was anonymous..
Then the post match pundits were calling the greatest game ever & I was like 'you know what i will never understand what people see in this sport' |

Ive moved away from terrestial tv but do watch the tv often.
i do enjoy my films and also some series that are out there.
as goes for series im kinda getting sick of the series never finishing or theyve e been cancelled netflix is as bad as the bbc for it if not worse.
as goes for the tv license it should be a mast charge only tacked onto your council tax 50.00 mast charge.
so anyone can receive the signal to the other channels
the one thing that bugs me with tv license some how has more powers than the police do to search your pc to check that your not connecting to live tv through there servers |

"This thread sounds like a trap from ‘TV Licensing’ I ain’t saying shit till I speak to my lawyer "
Yes that awkward moment when that meet you arranged turns out to be Ross McTaggart and he turns up halfway through Eastenders |

"I haven't been a TV watcher since I was about 15 I just listen to music. "
Good policy. I didn't even start watching until I was about 15, so never thought of it as obligatory. I live very happily without it.
Likewise, I listen to music but it has to be good music, not piffle urovision stuff. Radio Caroline is outstanding for quality of material and relatively free from DJs with verbal diarrhoea. The biggest advantage of being Tv free is not concerning oneself with news or politics.. ..or the consumerist lifestyle! |

Pretty much me too (Sam)
I do get dragged into watching the odd series and film with H and our kids but generally I just play music or have radio on.
None of us watch mainstream television though. |

Yeah I’m not a massive fan of the absolute cringe worth humans on there, ( kind of makes me realise humanity is fucked ) it’s very rare I watch a series, if I do watch something it’s usually a documentary.

"I watch a few hours a week, but mainly I have either the radio on or play music"
This here.
I like Gardeners World, Digging for Britain, Bettany Hughes history stuff, Lost Treasures of Egypt etc.
But mostly it’s the radio. |

Not much. I have Netflix and Disney, and Sky but rarely use them. I only have Sky really because I have internet with them. Disney because of Marval and Netflix because I do sometimes fancy watching something |
