I'm just curious, because lately I have really no interest in TV whatsoever. I still love movies, but regular television just seems so...fake... to me... Does anyone else feel this way, or am I alone on this one? :confused2: :bye:

That's kinda odd. Well I can live without TV, but I don't watch it much, but I am a movie geek if you haven't noticed by now. I confess. :D TV is okay now and then.

I actually don't watch much TV either. I guess it's because I don't like most of the shows currently on (mainly 'reality' TV shows, ugh...)But, I do watch some TV every now and then, just not a whole lot. :)

I don't like to watch TV much either. The commercials drive me insane, and a lot of the stuff on it nowadays is really, really, stupid. Lately everytime I watch TV I always feel like I'm wasting my life away. There's still one or two shows that I'll watch, but the majority of it I stay away from.

I don't watch TV much at all...Survivor's the only show I keep up with (haha, yeah I know, but it's addictive), and the only tv I watch now is reruns if I'm eating in front of the tv or something.

I agree with you... TV has always been stupid and always will be stupid. I like movies though.

The only times I'll actually watch T.V. is when LotR is on! YAY! ;) All the finales of shows are gone...I only watch a few American Idol, Lost, and So You Think You Can Dance. Actually I watch only a few reality shows like Dancing With the Stars. That's it.

Hm, I like to say I don't watch TV; Well, I only watch 2 shows, Lost and Monarch of the Glen...
However, as I write this, some show on the Disney Channel is on...mostly for background noise....:P So I don't know if that's technically watching? :P

I don't hate TV but, I don't really watch it that much anymore. The only TV show I was looking forward to didn't make it to the schedual. *grumbles* :disgust: . Your though there is not very many good TV shows anymore, I think I watch movies on TV more than the shows :P

The only shows I'm really into are 2 sci-fi shows. I also watch a couple of game shows, but that's it. Usually I find there's not much on I'm interested in watching.

Know how you feel. I don't watch any daytime television at all, I can't stand it.
It's all very fake, very put on and generally very boring...although I'll often see something on a commercial when my parents watch television and I'll say: "That looks interesting, I might watch it." and...never do.

The only time I watch television is in the morning before I go to school (and that's only for Takeshi's Castle), or when I'm ill and have nothing else I can do...

But, yesh! I agree with you!

I'm not much of a television person either, the only thing I really watch is Doctor Who, and sometime's the news. Other than that I stay away from the telly all together.
