Does anyone still watch TV?

[Blade Runner]

Does anyone still watch TV now you have the opportunity to download almost every TV series or movie? I never watch it at all now unless I'm round at a mates house and always get suprised and annoyed by the Adverts.

I like the choice of watching what I want and not being drawn into watching mindnumbing crap for the sake of it.

I rarely do at all, except for reruns of The Golden Girls, of course.

mostly live tv - sporting events. also premium cable series like deadwood, sopranos, etc. plus there's VOD now, so you can see anything airing on hbo, cinemax, showtime, or tmc whevever.

depends, I sometimes have it on for ambeince, but I don't even have a tv anymore, I got a VCR linked up through a dv bridge (with an output to my TFTs analogue composite), and then I have have sky and some consoles plugged into the vcr.

So sometimes I have video-in-video (ie overlay tv on my DVI, via my monitor). Normally only watch the simpsons when I remember.

heeeey.... thats actually a good question, i think.
since the use of our entertainment media shifted so significantly and we`re right in the middle of it and usually care the least.

i hardly watch any tv anymore (and right now there are only re-runs of the simpsons that i know by heart, so... ).
turning it on and watching a bit often makes me sneering.

but i learned that its a whole different experience now, watching some tv.
like i`m in that one particular mood and if a tv and a remote is nearby, then its an hour of the good ol switching kind of fun.
but that`s shifted as well: more educational stuff, more news and infotainment and especially the scientifical stuff ( imo, tv producers evolved a lot in terms of how to put up an entertaining sci-show)

I'll take you on simpsons trivia In episode ....

I've been watching them on sky since they started, none stop... to think they were only showing them once a week to start off with is weird When sky started in england I used to watch nickelodeon too

Difference with me, I guess, is that I can watch them over and over and really don't get that discouraged (there's only a few episodes that I really don't like and can't sit down and watch, but I leave them on in the background). So I've seen them all a lot. I've also seen all red dwarf a lot of times. I used to put the tapes in and let them play on repeat

Ultra-sad I know, but beats all the junk they put on tv.

Most watched channels: Sci-fi --> skyone --> Horror channel (I'm hoping it will get better) --> one of the discovery channels.

I'll be happy when the BBC opens its archives. There's a lot of good stuff, I'm just put off by poor scheduling

[El Mariachi]

I never watch it except for Top Gear, that's about the only thing.

TV isn't what it used to be

[spudthedestroyer]

lol i always miss top gear, I would if I could remember what time its on...

Don't even have any interest in cars to be honest, its just a cool show

[maxpayne2409]

i used to play all my blackadder tapes on repeat , when i had sky (got rid of it coz i was paying £30 a month and only watched about 6 channels out of 99999999999999, they were pretty much scifi, bravo, paramount and granada plus, tv pretty much sucks now tho, the bbc should really open theyre archives i agree with spud on that, they used to show so much good stuff, then reality shows, fly on the wall docus took over and replaced the good stuff for shite.
i remember when bbc2 used to show man from uncles, star trek, randall & hopkirk deceased (the good original not shite new one), the chapions, stingray, thunderbirds, capt scarlet, ufo, space1999 etc etc

[Blade Runner]

[Blade Runner]

[El Mariachi]

my mate says they are available for download somewhere, if that is true I dont watch TV at all

I got most interesting parts captured over the years. So if anyone NEEDS to see something I can put it on my server.

I got the interview and lap with Patrick Stewart in the reasonable priced car

[spudthedestroyer]

coolness, I'll have a scout for top gear. Lets hope its something the beeb put up when they start to open their archives this year

I loved the whole 'indestructable 4x4' sequence they did. I can't believe that think still started

[Blade Runner]

[mw2merc]

I do watch TV almost every day. I tend to stick with SciFi, Comedy, Bravo (Celeb Poker), FX (The Shield), & some TechTV (Most G4 is crap), AMC, TCM, and of course, the Food Network for Emeril & Iron Chef.
