Who still watches TV?: USA

Boxed in

Who watches most television?

DESPITE an increase in entertainment choices, watching television remains as popular as ever, according to data from the OECD's Communications Outlook report. American households watch the box for over eight hours a day on average, twice as long as anyone else. Viewing has fallen in some countries. Turks reportedly watched an hour's less television per day in 2007 than they did only two years earlier, when the country was America's nearest rival as couch-potato king.




I can proudly put myself at the bottom of this list, with zero hours daily for the last 3 years or so.

i'm on that boat. I try to watch TV but end up getting upset and then I yell at the commercials. My wife has to redirect my attention. It makes me mad that I gotta pay for it.

At least we use our brains to type our minds out.


HAHAHAHAH WV haited

the only part of the brain that's working when TV's on is the part that robotically takes commands.

Simply refusing to watch tv does wonders for your confidence and sense of self.
