    Nowadays a lot of us are getting too hooked in front of our computer as we could do a lot of things online. Just like chatting with friends, reading articles, watching videos and play games.
    So do you still watch TV?

    Personally I still watch TV but it was seldom. And what I usually watch are news and movies.

    I watch tv while I hang out on the computer as well. I really enjoy being able to unwind with some of my favorite tv shows still!

    There are television series that I follow so I really have time for TV. And after those shows I would watch news or look for good movies to watch. The use of computer for me is work related and also for social interaction through social networks during those times when I can’t go out with friends or family due to busy schedules or plans that won’t meet. Internet has its benefits especially all the firsts are there and a library of stories and knowledge where you can read and learn just about everything. However, you’ll lack the experience so I made sure that reality comes first and net surfing would just serve as source or reference.

    We don't watch a lot of TV - we prefer to watch films or series on DVD. We're just about to start watching Series 3 of Fringe :)

    Yes, I do. I am not able to take the time to spend online anymore so I find myself watching tv more. I have to devote most of my time to taking care of my baby and amusing him. It is hard to do this while online lol. I sometimes just keep the tv on when I am up late at night with my son. I also have been getting into more shows lately.

    Yes I would agree with that. It's much easier to watch tv and do something else than it is to be online and do something else (unless that something else is watching tv). So I usually have the tv on when I'm doing something around the house.

    Oh, yeah. Changing shift or work schedule caused missing episodes in a series that sometimes I get lazy following it. Good thing there are CD’s of the whole season episodes available and also Youtube and online streaming helps me to catch up. :p

    I have a whole agenda of things I do daily, starting with computer, including reading, napping and more computer and end up each evening with a slew of TV programs that have been recorded on my DVR at various times, so I can pick and choose, fast forward through the commercials and enjoy them when I have the time. Love Castle, CSI, Revenge, American Idol, Private Practice and The Closer.

    I read an article that said soon we will find out who did the shooting and who got shot. I thought we already know who got shot?! maybe I"m wrong or maybe they decided to change it... I think it will be coming out soon!

    I love TV and still watch it very often. Watching it is the event that marks the end of the day for me, which mean I can finally relax and do nothing but watch TV. I love that. That's something the darn PC can't give me, since I'm forced to spend so much time in front of it most of the day.
