TV

I was just wondering,

How many hours a day do you spend watching TV?

Ever since I started playing the piano more, I don't watch but maybe an hour. How about you guys? I think most of the stuff on TV is garbage anyway :P

The last time I tuned on my own TV to watch was in August. I've watched Conan a few times at my friend's house, but that doesn't quite count.

Although I don't watch TV, I spent much too much time on the piano forum, and chatting with people online.  :)

I guess about 1 to 1.5 hours a day-There seems to be nothing I like to watch on TV anymore. I watch about 15 minutes of the news (CNN) when I make and eat breakfast, and probably about 45 minutes of whatever my family is watching during the evening.

I used to watch TV to procrastinate, but I discovered that practicing the piano is a much better, constructive way to procrastinate.

Yeah i watch like an hour a day, i used to watch much more too, piano is much more fun.  Just as an interesting side note, i'm sure most of you realised this already but for those of you who didn't: if you highlight a smily face it turns chinese.   :) :( ;) :o :-/ >:( give it a try.

I rarely watch TV at all as my family dosen't even have one.  So when I do watch it I'm at someone else's house.  As for the news and such, I listen to the radio.
It's GREAT to be a classical musician!
