Between t'interweb thing and the PS3, I rarely watch it.
The Simpsons is usually on when I get home which I like and there's the odd prog like Top Gear, QI and Mock The Week but dramas, soaps, reality and the home improvement crap are a complete drain on the nation.

Oh, yeah, watch a bit of late night poker and sports news on a Saturday and United when they're on ITV, other sports but that's about it.
 
Same for me really, missus has control of the remote control these days as I rarely bother watching any of the crap that is shown.

It seems like a long time ago since I was actually excited about a tv show that was airing - any that I like - Entourage, Crash, Prison Break I would have already watched before the aired on TV.
 
Football, Prison Break, Bear Grylls, Cops with Cameras.

Then whatever the missus watches. Corrie et al.
 
hardly watch it much really
things I watch are the footy, buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 cats, lead balloon, and there used to be one or two things on a friday night like Jonathan Ross.
Do watch I'm A Celebrity though so that knocks my viewing up for a few weeks
 
Never watch it really. Occasionally watch MOTD2 & the championship, but the Championship is too early on a Sunday morning for me. Would watch MOTD but its on a Saturday night.

Watch Top Gear, but i have football every other Sunday evening so often miss that.

Watch MTW when its on and usually 8/10 cats... about it really. Weird, i used to watch loads of TV.
 
I watch football, Chuck, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, House, The Office, Scrubs, Smallville, Top Gear(though that's on my laptop) and anything I can find on my days off. Don't know if that's classified as a lot.

Agreed mate.
The scheduling was not designed well for our age group :(
 
feck all really, I usually just use torrents to get whatever I want, it's just so much better due to the lack of ads and the fact that you can watch it whenever you want.

Really it's just live footie and the occasional big show that I watch on TV show
 
about 3 hours a week. Usually a 90 minute football match, Top Gear and maybe QI. That's not including films or downloaded series which probably take up another 5 hours a week.

Never have the tv on in the background anymore if i'm not watching it. Listen to a fair bit of radio though through the digital box.

I could probably get away with ditching the set and license fee altogether.
 
None, until I discovered stargate atlantis is actually pretty good :nervous:

very little tv sports is the only thing I will really watch on the TV these days. Maybe the odd bit for an hour before I go to bed so on avaerage a days Id say tops two hours time watching the brainwash box
 
Apart from sports i mostly watch US shows like Smallville, Supernatural, 24 and Heroes. UK TV is fecking shit.
 
I download loads of shows and watch em
 
Just remembered, I usually watch Diagnosis Murder if i get home early and feel like a nap. And i tend to watch the Simpsons when having dinner.
 
Hardly any during the week.

Daily Show with Jon Stewart and House MD are decent. I watch Top Gear sometimes.

Other than that, just football.

Oh and Life on Mars. I'm onto the second series now.
 
I tend to have loads on...feck I even looked up the other day and the Gilmore Girls were on :nervous:

I just tend to leave the TV on e4 while I'm on here (usually wake up around scrubs time :) )

TV I actually enjoy watching is sports, MOTD, scrubs, simpsons, hollyoaks, my name is earl, 24, only fools and horses re-runs, londons burning (:lol:), the big bank theory etc etc...
 
Top Gear. Spooks. Mock the week. 8 Out of 10 Cats. Have I Got News For You.

They are probably the only shows I watch regularly. There just isn't much else on that I fancy, plus I seem to not have enough time for such things.
