Re: Not watching TV

i love watching TV ..its my life:khumar:

Re: Not watching TV

I don't watch Tv as much as I used to but can't give it up entirely either.

thats how it was for me, but I had desire to other things.
Usually desire to do other things used to take long time to get fulfilled.
One day my friend took my tv. Next day I was able to do many things.
I ask him to keep it for a while. I got used o of living with out it,
I have it back but Don’t watch it.

Its better this way.

Re: Not watching TV

I went without a TV for almost 2 years when I moved away from home. I just didn't bother buying a TV or getting cable. It was truely a very productive two years! and whenever I used to go back home and see my siblings watching TV, I used to tell them how good it feels not to be hooked to the screen.

Alas, it didn't last too long and I started again...

Re: Not watching TV

I don't really watch TV, and don't follow any show. Occassionaly if the TV is on I will watch it.

But recently I was getting Star+ on Dish Network. That one channel is more horrible than the entire television combined, and that includes the Golf and Hallmark Channel. It is completely crazy and overdramatic. Compared to that, Pakistani dramas look good. What's with the crazy camera angles and focusing on each person's face multiple times?

Coz you joined GS

PM if u re-start watching tv..perhaps u'd miss the crows back in Pakistan a little less!

Watching tv is niiicccee! Just don't wacth Oprah or Dr. Phil..

Re: Not watching TV

I have never been fond of watching TV.I would just watch it,if it's on,and if anything interesting is going on.

Re: Not watching TV

Well hardly get any time but wenever i get sometime i always switch on the tv and listen to business news, then local news, and then history tv or discovery and if m too stressed out then some programe like 2 and a half men.

i dont think quiting watching tv entirely is a good thing, TV performs a great role in developing ones personality and increasing ur knowledge. y would u watch the maury show, or tyra banks show or WWE. watch history tv, watch discovery, have u ever watched myth busters?? increases ur knowledge so much.

Re: Not watching TV

^ hmmmm
you know in pakistan I use to watch X-files and baywatch.

But here I notices I started watching every thing.
I love discovery.
Xfiles
and like 3 more comedy shows, worst part is when you wait between the show and you keep watching.
End up watching 3-4 hrs unplanned tv. That part I don't like.

Re: Not watching TV

i dont watch it either :hmmm:
these dramas make me sick and news channels make me sad

I know what you mean!!!!!!!! Star+ dramas are hilarious and SO over the top, lol. Those women have soo much makeup on, I would be scared to see them in real life...lol

I can't watch drama's that have more than 5-6 episodes, I just can't follow them :(

Punching...Baywatch? Taubaaaaaaaaaah!
