#1 Yarr, television? [CHARON WINS!]

Post by Caz »

I recently (1st December of this year) completed a project in which I logged how many hours of television I watched for a full year. This doesn't include films that I own a physical copy of or films viewed in theatres, however, it does include films on TV.

Whoever guesses closest wins a prize.

Ok the international average for weekly t.v veiwing is 16.6 hours.

that times 52 (weeks in a year) is 863.2 yearly.

This number is higher if you live in the UK (936) or US (988)

So I'm guessing since you are posting something about it it has to be a bit higher that that...

without further ado...


1,050 hours.

But it was very impressive math, sweetie!

I have the time... I just don't really like it. Everything kind of seems the same, you know?

Thanks.

I know. Whne I do get to watch t.v. it's C.S.I and Law and Order. Sometimes the news. Other than that. I really have no interest. Comes with not watching it I guess.

Yeah. I watch a few shows, but nowhere near religiously like some people do. When I watch television, it's usually various news programs or perhaps making fun of the guy from the 700 Club.
