Hubby talked me into watching an on demand movie. "A Sharks Tale". How freeking hilarious. It's still playing but my laptop is velcroed to me so I thought I would share.

You don't watch tv at all? Not even 1 thing? I've never seen "A Sharks Tale", but it sounds hilarious! I've been wanting to see it!

Not really. I catch a little bit of news in the mornings but I dont have any time, or dont allow myself anytime to watch TV. Saturdays I watch, listen, to the new Detecitives on Discovery while I'm studying, and that's it.

It's not that unusual
. We don't watch TV at all either! Of course when I say TV, I'm not talking about putting in the occasional DVD which we will do about once a week or so, or I'll pop one in when I convince myself to get on the recumbent bike. I'm just as likely to read a book or magazine when I do that though.

I saw A Shark's Tale (we're animation fans.) I didn't think it was that good. Although I tend to curl my lip at Disney a lot, they do have some good movies and I thought Finding Nemo was much better although of course in the Disney tradition also much sappier.

Not watching TV isn't all that weird. I haven't had any tv broadcast (antennea, cable or satellite) for over a year. All I need is my DVD player.
So no commercials!

Never seen Shark Tales. I'm not a huge fan of Disney, except maybe for Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo.

Another vote for the "no TV" here. We haven't had cable for several years, though we do rent a lot of DVDs. We are getting cable tomorrow, actually. I'm excited about it, but only because I HAVE missed TLC, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, etc. I won't get back into watching network "shows." Too much of a time-waster.

I watch tv when I can. I usually work nights or have studying to do. I do have a few shows that I religiously Tivo if I can't be there to watch them.
I loved Shark Tale. I thought it was great. I loved the part where the little shrimp got his revenge and I loved the rasta jellyfish!! I think it was great that an animated/CG movie was made with an urban twist. Will Smith and Jack Black were great!

I really don't care for TV that much. I let my 3 year old watch Playhouse Disney in the mornings (but not the Doodlebops, I think they look too scary for a little kid!), and in the evenings I might watch some TLC or Discovery Channel. There's shows I will watch if I happen to have the TV on when they are on, but nothing that I *have* to watch. I know some people who have the Tivo set for every show they like and all that. I have a DVR recorder, but hardly EVER use it. Although I got really addicted to the Celebrity Cattle Drive on E!. Last episode is Sunday night, and I will set the DVR for that one. Sucked me right in! LOL! But it's just 8 episodes. I'd say my total TV watching for the week is around 5 hours or so. We won't talk about my total computer hours!

Oh, I know that, it's just that I find it odd when someone doesn't...I guess it's because my husband works for Snapstream which is a company like TiVo...so it's just an odd thing for me to grasp!

Another animation fan.
I only really watch the anime on adultswim (Cartoon Network).
The TV stays on for background noise.

Otherwise, another non TV person.
