    I'll sometime turn it on to have something running behind me, but I don't watch TV nearly as much as I used to. Most new shows that are on TV these days just don't interest me.

    Netflix. Much cheaper than cable and no commercials. Most TV time is spent on video games, though

    Aussie TV kind of sucks, so no. Unless there's something on like My Kitchen Rules - even then that's all we'll watch on the TV.

    Pheesh and I tend to just watch an episode or two of a show we have downloaded every night - so we barely even watch lots back to back.

    Netflix, although honestly I only got an account for Bojack Horseman. The only TV shows I watch these days are anime *otaku4lyfe*

    The only times I watch TV is when I can't be assed to make an active decision on what to watch on netflix. If I put on TV on my TV, it's most likely because I want to have something on while I do other things. I rarely pay full attention to TV programs when they're on, or sometimes it might be because I don't have enough hands to play games while doing other stuff like preparing food.

    You might be able to catch me actually paying attention to space-stuff programs on discovery or something.

    e;
    I wonder if actual TV broadcasts will even exist after our parents' generation is gone.

    If networks would broadcast shows that I wanted to watch, then I'd watch network TV.

    But only because they didn't offer the same shows on-demand through the internet, right?

    At my own place I do not have cable. I just use the internet to stream stuff when I feel like watching stuff. I'll watch the NFL at mainly my parent's house in terms of sports because I rather be with people when I watching something like that, anyway.

    As it is, I don't watch too much TV. I just don't have that much time to blow through dozens of shows, and most of the top tier ones have been spoiled for me anyway, so I don't really care to watch it. Plus, I can't really binge watch, Like yeah, I could go for two or three hours easy, but past that is pushing it and makes me feel like crap. I have no idea how A) So many people do that and B) How most people who do that are in better shape than me. Where do people get all this free time? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!! OH trout THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE AT THE DOOR AN

    I have my regular shows that I watch. There's at least one or two shows most nights of the week.

    I haven't had cable for years. And I am one of those people who get really uncomfortable having to sit through more than about 10 - 15 seconds of commercials. So even YouTube irritates me some nights. That being said, I do have Netflix (I'd probably have Hulu if the subscription fee would remove commercials, but alas no). Although Netflix is mostly useless to me. I watch random things here and there. Mostly documentaries. But only once or twice a month. I spend most of my viewing time in front of YouTube. Though my girlfriend enjoys Netflix. But also not for the intended purpose. She just puts on things like American Dad or Family Guy when she takes naps or wants background noise while drawing or cleaning. I'm more picky about shows than I am about games. I just don't get the sensation they're stimulating my brain as much as games, internetting, and YouTubing does for some reason. Probably irrational. But its how my brain works. I just feel like I'm wasting time watching a show when I could be getting some laughs on YouTube or playing through a good story in a game. Or seeing what you folks are up to a few times a day
