I do like to have the news on in the morning--but the local news, not the morning show. Our local Fox channel has local news until 9 AM so I have that on while I am getting the kids' lunches made and chasing them out the door. Then the TV is off. Sometimes around lunchtime I watch "What Not To Wear" or "Clean House" but that is basically all my TV watching unless Notre Dame is playing football or basketball.

I don't have DVR and I have had no success in taping anything on my new VCR, so if we miss it, we miss it.

I've gotten hooked on a couple of radio shows on satellite radio, so if I'm not running errands when those shows are on, I can listen to them on my computer.

The shows that interestsa me are on late at night after I get home from work. Watching tv relaxes me and I'm able to go to sleep.

I usually watch tv when bored or just for the noise to keep me company

I use to watch a lot of TV as I was growing into my adult years, but since then and more so in this last year, I find my self watching five minutes here and there through out the day, and everything else is recorded in "hopes" of watching it at a later time - as is the case with many of the Twilight Zone Marathon episodes we like enough to record, but have yet to watch, and Sunday is February 1st.

I like to watch TV in the evening. 6:00PM news and then 7PM to 10PM depending on what night it is and what is on.

I like to watch a couple dramas and then have the news on in the background while I study. Ball games are good to have on for background noise also.

Late afternoon for me. I'll put on Dr. Phil, Oprah and/ or Ellen and watch them depending on what the topic is.
I do enjoy watching Extreme Home Makeover on Sundays and movies on Lifetime.

hugs, train
