What is your tv viewing week currently like?

gazzer

I was thinking of how many hours a week I watch tv and I dont think I watch that much. Just wondering how long people here spend watching TV.
I currently watch

Outcasts
Supernatural
V
Modern Family
Treme
Family Guy
Raising Hope
American Dad
Desperate Housewives
The Event (finally back)
Miranda (just discovered this show and love it)
Glee
QI
True Blood
Harry Hills TV Burp
Trivia

I have Boardwalk Empire, Nikita and Season 1 of The Vampire Diaries on a hard drive that I plan to watch at some stage but I think I watch enough as it is. I couldnt justify sitting down watching tv hour upon hour each day. Too much other stuff to do

As it is I tend to store up my viewing each week and watch it all Thursday - Saturday. Friday is the big viewing night for me as I watch V, American Dad, Raising Hope, Glee, Family Guy, Miranda, QI and Modern Family. All washed down with a bottle of wine and a big bag of Doritos.

I watch a ridiculous amount of tv - luckily I get time to watch some of it at work and thankfully with the invention of internet and sky+ I can watch everything whenever it best suits, but my typical weekly lineup currently includes:

House
Chuck
HIMYM
Mad Love
Stargate Universe
Shameless UK
Raising Hope
The Biggest Loser US
The Biggest Loser Au
Survivor
Modern Family
The Middle
Community
The Big Bang Theory
30 Rock

Once they're back on air Doctor Who, The Hard Times of RJ Berger, True Blood, Torchwood, Dexter, The IT Crowd, Misfits, The Walking Dead, Big Brother US, The Apprentice UK and The Apprentice Irl will be added to that mix.

I've got stockpiled episodes of Criminal Minds, Smallville and South Park on the laptop and playing catchup with them, and also have Boardwalk Empire and the first series of Fringe saved up for a rainy day.

I'll be taking up a few new shows soon or at least intend to give them a shot - Game of Thrones, Camelot, Breaking In and Happy Endings. And in September there'll be a host of more new shows including Terra Nova making my schedule.

As if all that weren't enough I'm rewatching (albeit at a very slow pace and infrequently) Battlestar Galactica, Prison Break, Oz, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, 3rd Rock From the Sun, Seinfeld and Sliders.

I challenge anyone to beat that obscene amount of tv watching... :eek: :cool:

don ramo

hmm seasons over, so my year round schedual is...

An Idiot Abroad (wont be tuning back in)
Better With You (wasted 20 minutes and raised a few smiles)
Boardwalk Empire (looking forward to season 2)
Breaking Bad (cant wait)
Californication (long wait )
Chuck (hoping for an epic final season)
Cougar town (again wastes 20 minutes)
Covert Affairs (ok summer filler)
CSI (easy watching)
CSI miami (easy watching)
CSI new york (easy watching)
Entourage (final season hoping for epic here)
Eureka (could be better, falls into summer filler territory)
Fringe (more please)
Game Of Thrones (great stuff so far)
Greys Anatomy (can sway to class and boring in complete randomness)
Haven (interesting first season, we shall see whos who soon)
Hawaii Five-0 (nice bit of action procedural)
House (kinda getting sick of it, hes not much of an anti hero after his antics in the season finale)
How I Met Your Mother (starting to become more miss than hit)
Mad Love (slow start killed it)
Mike and Molly (wastes 20 minutes)
Nikita (cant wait for season 2)
No Ordinary family (not gonna be missed)
Outsourced (was going nowhere,they really restricted how it could evolve)
Rule Of Engagement (pure 50/50 hit and miss)
Sanctuary (great, season 4 going ahead but damn syfy are playing around with it)
Secret Diary Of A Call Girl (a fun insight to prostitution)
Shameless US (some great stuff, have to get around to the UK one)
Smallville (done and dusted)
Spartacus (jasus this is taking ages)
Stargate Universe (damn you syfy)
The Big Bang Theory (really picked up in the second half of the season)
The Big C (can be boring, more fo a block viewing show)
The Hard Times of RJ Berger (can be a bit much teenagy at times, plus having a bunch of 30 year old playing teenagers is very distracting)
The Killing (good stuff so far)
The Walking Dead (slow start, but kept me interested, i will return)
True Blood (are they struggling for story in some places)
Two and A Half Men (the king of filler, but can easily put a smile on my face, kutcher will probably kill it)

so 39 shows, 14 20 minute shows, 16 40 minuters, and 9 cable shows that can range from 40 minutes to 1 hour, so about 23 hours of tv a week i would be watching if all these shows aired together, good thing there spaced out during the year

9 of these shows wont be returning, so it will probably open a gap in my schedual

thegoodgirl

As all the seasons have now finished I am having massive withdrawal symptoms from my weekly tv fix.

My lot was
Dexter
Desperate Housewives
Brothers and Sisters
HIMYM
Glee
The good wife
One tree Hill
The middle
Modern Family
Bones
Greys Anatomy
Private practice
The big bang therory
The mentalist
Body of proof

I am also watching criminal minds but I only started watching it from the begining. So far up to season 6 but slowing down now to drag it out a bit longer.
Gonna pick up some new shows now to watch during the summer months, thinking about Blue Bloods, the vampire diaries and broadwalk empire, but if anyone has any good suggestions let me know!
