Does anyone else not watch much TV?

I feel like I probably should make an effort to see what people are talking about but I don't feel compelled to do so. Anyone else like this?

I don't watch tv much, I don't have cable or satellite! I like my money to much, I watch turtles on amazon (or YouTube if amazon drags their feet)
Anything else I watch comes from Netflix

[JoshDA7X]

The only shows I watch religiously are Tutles, Walking Dead and Comic Book Men.

[The Sewer Lord]

I watch every single show online. Including shows like Breaking Bad.

[krangsaneurysm]

I own a 50inch LED television that just sits in my living room with no usage at all. Only been watching movies and shows on my computer.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

It's very rare that i watch TV. I usually play video games, go on the computer or watch a Movie. The only TV i actually watch (and its actually online, as opposed to actual TV), is TMNT. So, no, I don't watch TV.

I feel like a ton of people here aren't associating watching sh*t via some form of Internet, physical media or DVR as watching TV. I think he means television programs in general, not just on a physical TV set on cable.

I watch close to nothing (see: hockey) on actual cable and I watch very little elsewhere. There are shows I'll watch entire seasons of over the span of a week when they hit BD or Netflix, but those too are incredibly rare, as in once or twice a year. Even shows I really like, such as Adventure Time or Regular Show, I'll ignore new episodes of for months at a time. Certain shows I find pretty cool, like nick TMNT, I'll just end up not watching and then never get to. The most I'll ever watch anything is at night when I don't have something to play on a handheld. In those cases I general watch stuff I don't need to think about, like Giant Bomb stuff, Gamecenter CX or AVGN.

I prefer to play games in the limited spare time I have.

All I watch is Teen Titans Go, TMNT, and sometimes Duck Dynasty

[Raven]

In our house hold we usually just have a movie playing when we have some spare time. Other wise its mainly on for background noise or to distract the kid for a brief second so we can take care of a few things.

Which mostly is sesame street and things of that sort.

[Prowler]

I rarely turn on the tv, same goes for downloading tv shows and movies. I do watch anime on my computer occasionally, though; and, of course, football games. And I might check out Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones in the future just to see what the fuss is all about. That being said, the last show I bothered to follow was House and still haven't watched the last 2 seasons.

As for talk shows, the news, etc, I don't watch the former, and as for the latter, if I wanna know what's happening in the world I'll just grab a free newspaper or read the news online.

[CatalaReturns]

I'm probably in the vast minority here. We get a grand total of 5 channels on our antenna, don't subscribe to any Netflix thing or anything else, nor do we watch episodes of anything via the internet. Once a month or so I might watch a new ep. of TMNT or something on PBS, but that's about it. I get wicked confused when my folks start yammering on about shows on the telly.

[CyberCubed]

I don't watch any of those popular sitcoms/comedies that people seem to talk about either. Even older ones like Friends and Seinfeld I've barely seen more than a handful of episodes, and its only because other people in my family used to have it on.

Also other than Star Trek, I've never sat through any of those sci-fi shows. Never watched X-files or Stargate or Supernatural any of those other popular sci-fi shows from the 90's and early 2000's.

Its actually odd how many "big" TV shows I've always heard people talk about since like 1990 till now that I've never actually watched.

I wish I could say the same. I - unfortunately - grew up in a very lazy family where the television was used as a babysitter, background noise, and a hobby. It's insane to think how many experiences I missed out on because of the life my parents had created during my childhood. Hubster and I are adamant that doesn't happen for our Little Mister or any other kiddos we have around.

In our house, the (32") TV is mainly used to play video games, mostly by by my (now disabled) husband. He's on the 360 FAR more than we ever use the TV for actual TV watching, although he does sometimes have it on as "background noise" when he naps on the couch during the day while I'm at work. Most of what we watch consists of Sleepy Hollow, Grimm, The Following, and Almost Human. That's about it for shows we actually follow. I also watch the Nick TMNT when it ends up on you-tube. (For some reason, Adobe no longer plays anything else on my PC. I've tried un- and re-installing it SEVERAL times, to no avail- I suspect a browser update glitch some months ago is responsible.) Other than that and re-watching old eps of both the OT and 03 TMNT (either on DVD or also on you-tube), that's it.

[blindturtle02]

Hmm... My better half and I are only watching TMNT 2012, The Walking Dead, and Supernatural at the moment when it comes to new shows. So nah, not very much here. We read a tun of books together so we've mostly been doing that during holiday hiatus. We'll certainly be watching Star Wars: Rebels when it premiers this fall.

Lately, the only time I have a "can't miss" feeling about a TV show is the two months that a half season of Walking Dead airs.

I'll watch the occasional WWE Raw, but I usually just watch the highlights on WWE.com. If WWE Network ends up being all it's cracked up to be, I'll be watching a lot more wrestling soon.

My TV habits have never been better, but thanks to the Internet, I'm still not a very productive member of society.

[Wesley]

I watch a few TV shows every now and then like Revenge, Person of Interest, 2 Broke Girls, Agents of Shield and Gotham. I'm not a fan of the more recently critically acclaimed shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead.

I've gone without having cable or watching television for the last 10 years. I hate commercial interruptions and commercials themselves so watching television is pretty tedious for me. I've always been more of a movie person to begin with. The only televisions shows I watch at this time are TMNT and I'm slowly getting back into The Walking Dead (just enough to keep me watching). I also want to have an Agent Carter marathon.

My main problem with television series is that they can go on too long and start to lose what made them so special and end up becoming a shadow of it's former self. Series in the UK have it great where each series will get a small amount of episodes keeping everything more tight and fairly consistent, for the most part.

[BabyTurtles]

I only watch TV when a new episode of a show I like is on.

or when I'm too lazy to turn on my computer but still want entertainment when I eat XD

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I rarely have the time or desire to really watch TV shows anymore. Even ones I'm interested in, like Agents of SHIELD.

Every now and then if there's an interesting Teen Titans Go on I'll try to catch that (like the Young Justice one).

I used to watch Gotham every week, but that show has fallen so far so fast that I don't even care anymore.

Every 2 years when a new series of Doc Martin airs on PBS I make damn sure I'm there to see it.

I think the last TV show that I actually kept up in watching regularly was Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated on Netflix. Man, that was a good show...

[Jephael]

I'm kinda burned out on television myself. I had considered watching The Flash on CW, but at the same time I just don't feel compelled to get into anymore comic book shows.
