Does anyone else not watch much TV? - Page 3

*CyberCubed* · 04-11-2015, 05:13 PM

I haven't gotten into any of those DC or Marvel TV shows either. I don't know why but I don't have the "patience" to watch much TV shows anymore.

It has to be something I'm REALLY interested in to keep up with something, otherwise I just don't care. I guess age has something to do with it? I don't have as much free time as I used to and I'd rather use it to play videogames.

Oddly enough even though I just said that I wound up getting into Attack on Titan online, and I generally avoid anime.

I don't watch TV much at all, here and back home. Back home, the only shows I constantly kept up with, and still manage to do here thanks to Hulu, is Law & Order: SVU (since the others were canceled) and NCIS.

After digital cable was forced on consumers, my television watching dropped even more than it already had. My television watching started to drop in the late 90s.

I watch tv mainly just for the news. I can't even be bothered sitting down to watch S.H.I.E.L.D because of the overabundance of ad breaks, so I just record it and watch whenever

I haven't really been big into TV since 24. Now, if something interests me, I just wait for it to come on Netflix, that way I can watch it in one shot with no commercials. But even then, that's not often. So really, I'm not a big TV show watcher, either live TV or the internet. Heck, I recorded on my DVR the Gotham show, but I have yet to watch the whole thing.

This is a good topic to along with the Simpsons DVDs discontinued topic. This is pretty much what I mean when I say I feel that some people have become pretentious about TV and formats. How it's become popular to be anti-tv...I don't always watch tv but when I do it's online...stay jaded my friends.

Well I have DISH Network and there's alot of stuff I watch. Current stuff, reruns and movie channels. Of course I dvr maybe half due to the time and commercials.

That's mostly because I'm either on the internet or working on my laptop, or in class or eating.

Very little. I tend to have it on for a bit in the morning and when I go to bed, but anymore the Turtles are the only thing I must watch. Other things I had been a consistent viewer of have either died off or appear to slowing be doing so. (Ghost Hunters for example... only four new episodes finally on last October and after that they're still not coming back until summer. Doubt it will return with many in that case.

)

All this Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, etc etc... I hear they're just so good and all that, but I honestly couldn't care less. Even moreso that a long marathon would be required to catch up.

I find it odd that much more avid tv watchers I know like to suggest I spend a lot of time on the computer. (And how is that worse?) I mean...yeah, I do. For many different reasons however. And between the tv and the computer, if I'm going to be sitting staring at a screen, the computer holds more interest for me. I just prefer to have my mind a lot more active on the computer with all the different stuff I'm doing - be it working, creating, playing, interacting or learning - rather than just watching a show on tv.
