    I voted that I pretty much only use Netflix.

    The only time I watch cable tv is when I'm watching football. Or occasionally I put on Comedy Central and go to sleep watching South Park or Family Guy or whatever.

    MissH and I just tend to watch repeats of QI and Mock the Week on Dave at night time. That and any football that might be on. Other than that I don't really watch much on TV. I can't stand waiting a full week to see the next episode of a series.

    All hail Netflix and Video Games.

    I spend way too much of my free time either playing video games or watching something on Netflix. No cable TV. I drives me crazy with the commercials.

    It goes up and down a lot. I try to watch as many United games as I can. If I am advised in advance about an All Blacks game I'll probably watch that too, same with Black Caps. I keep up with certain TV series like Game of Thrones. Others I download/record and watch later when I feel like it.

    Other than that... comedy, comedy and more comedy. It's a good way to unwind at the end of a workday, just before bed.

    There are several TV shows I follow regularly. TV is in a bit of a golden age if you ask me.

    Oh yeah. When I do get into a series, I loathe the waiting game. I'm alright with not marathoning completely. But waiting a week for a single episode is ridiculous. I honestly would rather wait out the entire season of something and then watch it at my leisure

    I just watched s1-s6 of Mad Men last year, and waiting for s7 as it premiered week-by-week was painful... even more so when it ended up being split into two halves, with a full year in between. There's a lot to be said for momentum. I'm watching Breaking Bad now, and I couldn't imagine watching it over years, given how intricately connected the story is.

    Though I suppose it'd also feel good to be part of the shared cultural experience, waiting for it to air episode-by-episode. I dunno. I prefer the Netflix model.

    I watch more TV than I did before I met my wife, just because we share a small handful of shows, but in general I'm not a huge TV guy.

    I almost never watch television. Nearly 100% of the time my set is turned on, a video game is being played on it.

    On the rare (and I mean rare) occasion that a television series catches my attention, I just torrent it and watch it on my computer/phone.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I tend to have it on in the background while I'm on computer, but turn it off if I don't feel like watching anything that's on and/or can't be bothered to put a DVD or whatever on.

    I might start having it on in the background more again though.

    I dont watch TV. I almost always have a show playing on my laptop but I don;t actually watch them. More just listen. Right now King Of The Hill is playing. I voted for the "I don't even own a TV" I do own one but, it's my computer monitor which is really a 32" Sony LED TV.

    It helps to have something on while feeding babies. Also to unwind. I DVR pretty much everything I watch.

    Since I don't have cable, I watch stuff from a bunch of TV/Movie apps online on my Xbox 360.
    Crackle, YouTube, IGN, History app, etc.

    I watch a lot of dvds. I'm a movie buff. Don't care for regular tv. Considering Dish and Direct TV....I can't stand commercials and public tv is spammed full of ads that they make you watch. Not into that crap.
