Yes, crowd that is constantly making threads about TV shows, I'm talking to you. How much time do you spend watching tv or tv shows? I mean really. I have a hard time keeping up with three or four shows - I mean, Project Runway is easy because it's not year round, and Rome was once a week.

Maybe this is just some mental issue of mine. When I'm staring at a tv screen I'm predisposed to being bored.

I pretty much stopped watching TV actively over the course of this year. Like Drinky, I am ripping through The Shield on DVD.

Cyanista · « **Reply #4 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:00:49 PM »

Lost is one of those shows I avoid on purpose because I'm sick of people talking about it..... Singlehandedly making water cooler chitchat ten times more annoying.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #5 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:01:58 PM »

omg omg the shield, just started season 3

omg omg i swear IT NEVER LETS UP

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #6 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:03:47 PM »

really, though, it's probably more cost effective to cancel cable and just buy the tv boxsets on sale (the shield is $16.99/season at costco, hint hint). it also gives you a LOT more control over your time, is commercial free, and you don't feel the pain of a cheesy cliffhanger.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:08:12 PM »

yeah, tvc has convinced me to try it.

I DVR most shows, so I can watch them at a time that is more opportune.

Ah you beat me to it. DVRs are so sweet.

I'm done with TV. I DVR crap shows like American Idol and Big Brother and then watch them in under 10 minutes by fast forwarding through all the fluff.

True fact: I've never watched one minute of Lost, but I have trolled almost every GAF thread created on it. I almost want to watch past episodes so I can become a more effective troll ... but that seems like too much work.

Okay a lot. But just because the boob tube is less engaging than the series of intartubes, all of our asses are getting fatter engaging in our particular hobbies.

Fun fact: Posting on Evilbore is a character flaw.

My flaws only lend me an appealing air of approachability.

I'm in the DVD boxset camp and also like iTunes as well. I just can't stand watching commercials. They just kill momentum. I remember reading an article somewhere on how many of the HBO shows thrive on seamless storytelling because the writers don't have to create mini cliffhangers before commercial breaks.

Current show(s):
House (Great show by the way)

On my radar:
Deadwood
The Wire
Firefly

Nope. In fact, I went without TV from 2001-2003. If it wasn't for my wife being a TV junkie, I still wouldn't own one. I don't even rent boxsets. That's too much time to invest.

I would rather be on the internet or listening to the radio (baseball game usually).

motherfucking craploads. I seriously own craploads of tv on dvd and watch each crapload more than once sometimes.

Vizzys · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2007, 05:03:54 PM »

I probably watch 2-4 hours of tv a week.

I make up for it by wasting all my free time on the internet instead

Lonestar · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2007, 05:10:13 PM »

I don't have cable. There is no way I'm getting the only cable that's offered in my apartment complex.

TV Max

doesn't it just sound shitty???

i'm canceling our cable after the in-laws visit in september.

Candyflip · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2007, 07:12:14 PM »

I've actually wondered this myself. I've got maybe 3 shows that I follow, and I find myself watching the seasons over and over. I think I do that with everything. I'm not good with change. Once I find something I like, I stay with it $:-\$

Back to watching Scrubs.

cable is worth it for discovery.
