TV? Heh, what's that?
Something I watch sometimes as often as three hours a week.

Me too! Great answer! Rest is rot for the mind.

I really doubt that anyone on this site who is a regular watches all that much tv.
-------------

I have a niece that likes to read a lot like I do. However, she has a bad habit of wanting to lock herself away and spend 100% of her time reading.

Reading for entertainment is awesome but there comes a time when people must put the book down and go outside and live.
---------------

ALL entertainment should be kept at a reasonable level.

Just heard a great ad for a home prostate exam kit on the radio.
Catchy jingle.

"Put you finger in
Pull your finger out
Put your finger in
And poke it all about
That's how we probe our prostate
Then whip your finger out
That's what it's all about!"

Kinda sounds fun!

It depends on what you call "a lot" but I think I watch a lot. Probably more than I should.

If you want "rot for the mind" watch more YouTube.

We've only watched the last 5-parter and that was good. Don't know about the earlier seasons .

Yes. I actually enjoy it (my guilty pleasure ) more that Dr. Who.

Looking forward to the new season they are supposedly filming/planning.

I have a long seasonpass list of shows... many are only there cause my wife likes them. Here is my list with my wifes/kids shows deleted:

jeopardy!
house
bones
survivor
american idol
ncis
csi miami
chuck
csi crime scene investigation
ghost whisperer
fringe
medium
V
the good wife
glee
amazing race
rules of engagement
the big bang theory
two and a half men
how i met your mother
'till death
modern family
stargate universe
sanctuary
eureka
warehouse 13
dr who
caprica
burn notice
mythbusters
daily show
colbert report
the good guys
persons unknown

Would you categorize this as "a lot" of TV? I do.

I also started watching Prison Break from show 1. I just finished the 1st season last night. I quite enjoyed this show.

There are other shows I am curious about too... but haven't seen them yet. Castle is one another I can't recall the title of right now. Thanks heavens for Bit Torrent.

I think I might drop American Idol soon. Last season was pretty week.

It is all bad for you when overdone. I say that anyone who spends all day watching tv, reading for entertainment, or playing on the Internet is rotting their mind.

People need to join the real world once in a while and live.

This is why I like to play boardgames with the family... hence my new hobby. It gets us around the table, talking and interacting more than playing COD 4 mulit-player ever did.
