Survey: Do you Watch TV?

Interact (surveys)

We are excited about all the new shows coming down the pipe from Planet Green, and will tune up the rabbit ears to try and pull them in. But right now we have so many information and entertainment options, and TreeHugger readers probably know how to use all of them.

I only ever watch what I can get "On Demand." Maybe if I had a TiVo I'd watch more.

TV is silly enough without having your programs interrupted by commercials. And there's nothing worse, for me, than surfing around the channels looking for something good on (there never seems to be).

I use the internet and netflix. Occasionally I've have my mom DVR something for me to watch if I'm in the area around lunchtime - generally Top Chef or one of those shows.

We live in an area with so much interference that without cable we can't get a clear signal of even local channels and I don't like paying for a bunch of crap we'll never watch. Also our television is apparently about to be obsolete.

TV? I haven't watched it regularly since high school back in the early 90s. Occasionally I turn the thing on for a DVD or two but not much else.

TV is so lame. Other than Hockey games, I don't really care to watch anything at all. Hockey games are hardly ever on anymore; they're all on Pay-Per-View.

I used to be a TV addict but now I can't stand anything from the major networks. It's all rehashed and empty head trash. Thankfully we now have History, Discovery and NatGeo channels, lots of good entertain your brain. Ok I admit I'm glad BSG is back this Friday and I still like Star Trek reruns but hey I'm a geek to the core. :-)

We sold our TV. Now the television I get is from watching Star Trek DVDs on the computer, which is far superior to anything I was watching on cable. Plus, I'm at LEAST $20 richer from selling it.

Only for rented movies.

I don't own a TV, and it feels liberating. Also don't have a cell phone. (something that sounds really weird to most people).
You feel so much more in control of your time and choices.
Somehow the internet makes you feel you';re more in control and that you can come back to things and that they're still going to be there if you need to do something else.

Great site.

I watch TV the way I read books - I prefer Non-FIction. But there are a few shows I watch just for laughs: 2 1/2 Men is hysterical. Given a choice, I'd rather be online.

TV actually makes me sick, there's absolutely nothing that resembles real life in reality TV. Commercials are just too loud and too dumb to make an effort to see them. TV caters to the weak minded Wall-Mart crowd. Don't forget to spend your tax "rebate" on a new TV from Wally World. Do your family a favor and kill the TV. There are so many things to be done without the evil box influence. Try to actually think for yourself. If you have cable channels and movie channels in particular just watch them for a while to help wean you away from the "dumbness" of commercials. Spend your time with your loved one, or teaching your children about real life. No better substitute for real life than living. Remember life's funny, if not, you're doing something wrong!
