Thank goodness I don't have cable. I used to watch it with my mother but never hooked it up at home since I spent so much time with Mom. Now I have broadcast TV only. I drop everything when the news comes on. I'm ogling Tom Selleck (Magnum pi) in his 30's all morning. Seems I never watched his program in the 80's but boy was he hot!! Glad I don't have cable or I'd probably be glued to that boob tube all day. I've got plenty to do. I just don't want to do much of it. Procrastination is my Covid Days middle name.

What's the illness, hoarding or watching tv shows about hoarding?

Some, and more than I used to. But I have a few projects that I enjoy more than sitting on the sofa. Sometimes I have a show from YouTube on while I do those other things.

I don't have a TV subscription, but I do streaming occasionally. So, not any more than usual, which is almost not at all.

It is even to the point I have to look up numbers of cases, etc., in my area on the computer as I never hear what they are these days. I don't have cable, but I have netflix. I can always find something better to watch than the news.

There are lots of ways to become informed that don't involve televisions. Most of them are superior to the TV.

Tons. Sometimes I watch the show, but often I keep it on as background noise. When you are single, sometimes you just need to hear humans talking.

Shows I've been watching or listening to during the day include the Today Show, Unforgettable, Medium, Crossing Jordan, Dr. Phil, and Ellen.

This will change when I go back to work soon.

A county-coroner friend just told us that all deaths after a certain age must be labeled as CoVid.

I’m still taking precautions; but, I no longer trust the data.

Apparently, one of the reasons why I'm weird is that I almost never watch TV. Nothing has changed from that point of view.

I have been watching Magnum too. It comes on late here and I find it a good way to wind down and read or play little casual games. The problem comes in because I watch Blue Blood too. Magnum will have a major short pair of shorts on and I think Commissioner! Where are your damn pants! :) AMC and TMC have a lot of great old movies on late too. I like it best when they spotlight one actor and show a lot of their work back to back.

I do like Hoarders too. On one hand it is a warning and on the other I can point to it and show DH how much worse it could be! We keep the TV on a lot but it is pretty much background noise. Lots of Netflix, Hulu and Prime too. Wonderful being able to watch Dark Shadows again. I have wanted the boxed set for years but an authentic one is around $300 and the fakes are crap.

On broadcast TV, we watch travel and cooking programs on PBS, and we watch golf sometimes.

We have DVDs of favorite shows that we watch from time to time, including one particular series that we only later discovered took a serious dive after the first season. We'll slog through that one but probably won't ever watch it again.

We've used our library's online streaming to get British programming, and we've picked up DVDs through their curbside service.

On Amazon Prime, we've started to watch the British Queer as Folk.

A lot. We've been binging the British series "Line of Duty," and are re-watching all of "30 Rock," and "The Good Place."

Almost none. I never watched much television, but in this nightmare of 2020, close to zip. I'm "essential" and working myself into an early grave. Me and my partner (also "essential") have watched some old favorites on Netflix and ye olde DVD at night to decompress.

This pandemic has given me an excuse to get out of the house.

They don't have TV out here where I'm at.

They only have stars in here.

Watch them twinkle...

I watch the animals
And they watch me
Sometimes we interact
Act like friends

Every day is a new day. If I only knew it. Well, now I blew it! Eshew it.

I watch the sparkling patterns of light dance across my screens in this marvelous theater we call home.

No TV

Cut it out - Don't tear it out; it could cause tears and that's not good for hairs - or grow it out. Outside or Inside.

Take care.

The most fun TV series out there is "the Republic of Doyle". It's good leave-your-brain-behind fun which isn't continually preaching at you.

Bosch is pretty good too.

Been really going through the British copper shows on Acorn and Britbox. Got addicted to the very binge-worthy "Line of Duty." Watched all of "30 Rock" again. Watched all of the seasons of the Canadian comedy "Corner Gas." Also "Schit*'s Creek."

Stuff like that.

Ufotofu- I don't really pull my hair, but it seemed to go with solitaire.
I have purchased some new scissors to trim my hair, and do a pretty good job.
No need for beauty parlors.
I wish I could get some of these programs listed here, but have to settle for old movies on dvd's.
When it is 111 degrees here in the 'hood, I will be cool enough and watching movies all day.

We just finished 'Penny Dreadful'--DEFINITELY not TBM friendly. Even a few too many sex scenes for ME! However, Rory Kinnear is a revelation as the best IMO Frankenstein's Creature ever.

Also watching the new 'Lost in Space'. I will not deny that I enjoy it. Love Robot.
