Assuming all my shows are airing in a week, 9 hours, though I watch stuff online so their would be some trimming due to lack of ads, so around 7 hours.
If all my shows are airing I watch seventeen hours a week. Although with how much catch up and binging I do my total TV viewing is much higher then that
I am retired and record a lot on my Hopper, the beauty being I don't have to watch commercials, so would say around 5 hours on a weekday, less on weekends. Maybe 30 total.
0-10 hours of NEW shows. Considering that I'm trying to catch up on two different shows, and that Friends is on all the time (here in the UK), it's probably about 20-25 hours.
Currently only five of my shows are airing so around 4 hours. next week and through march/ april when everything comes back on probably around 10-13 hrs.
I don't watch shows live and as a result I can easily watch over 40 hours if I have a quiet weekend and get to catch up (probably much higher than 40 eek). Excluding my additional weekend watching/catching up, I would say its between 20-25 hours. Thankfully because I don't watch live, I can fit more shows in my hours by skipping the ad breaks.
yeah i watch a ton of shows too. and i think i can name all of them (in a given week)-
monday: SAB, the fosters, almost human, sleepy hollow, hart of dixie, BATB (though i'm behind a bit), the blacklist, castle, defiance, the following tuesday: person of interest, twisted, rizzoli and isles, perception, agents of shield, trophy wife wednesday: revolution (still need to catch up on a few episodes), psych, suburgatory, back in the game, arrow, the tomorrow people, chicago pd, maybe the 100 thursday- parenthood, white collar, elementary, the crazy ones, mjf show, suits, maybe sirens friday- catch up day saturday- catch up day, atlantis (bbc) sunday- continuum, the newsroom, the mentalist, OUAT, longmire
this would be how it is if everything (summer and fall shows) were all on at once...
I know, i watch a lot of TV :( but overall, i think I have around 50 fav tv shows (including shows that have stopped airing like chuck, one tree hill, monk etc.)
I'd say 10-15, at the most, these days. I do tend to have the news, politics or sports on for an hour or two a day too thou in the background, prob a bit more atm with the Scottish Independence row and Olympics going on at present.
Assuming all my shows are on in one week and I would watch them live in the US, it's about 6 hours. But with two new shows coming up, it will probably be more.
40+ (don't judge me!) In my defense (I have to defend myself a little :P) it's really relaxing for me to have VLC media player with the setting "Always on Top" running a playlist of episodes of the shows I watch while I do other stuff on my laptop. Besides my favorite shows, where I only have one new episode per week, I also tend to search for older shows to binge-watch. That way, I can multitask by always being able to see the episodes and do other stuff as well! But yeah, still 40+ though XD
I probably spend way too much time watching TV, but meh, worth it! :P
Shows I watch - 15h if every series has an episode during one week. These are just the ones airing right now there are at least 10 more series in summer!
Probably 20-25 hours.I watch the weather report daily,plus 24 shows a year(some are Midseason,some are summer).This 2013-2014 season I'll watch:drop Dead Diva,Rizzoli & Isels,Devious Maids,ANTM,Carrie Diaries,Reign,VD,TO,HoD,BBT,BatB,Switched at Birth,Fosters,PLL,Nashville,2 Broke Girls,OUAT,OUATIW,SC(not sure I'll keep up with this one or not yet).Theres a very occasional movie and on weekends I'll watch gymnastics,figure skating,horse racing for a part of the year.
I use trakt.tv - you can see your month or week laid out in calendar or list format. It also keeps track of new shows vs repeats, if you collect shows (buy shows), how much your watching, your progress in a series, and it has many other features. It also connects to an app on your phone if you want.
Plus I have shows I watch online because some of my shows air at the same time. So more closer to 25 in the heat of the fall-spring season (when it's busiest). Summer I have a lot less but still have at least 10 shows (not all are on main channels).
I watch so much I have a schedule so I don't forget to watch and which ones I should watch over another if they're airing at the same time (since I don't have a DVR it depends on how accessible the show's episodes are online).
But it's not really meant for watchlists/tv schedules, it's more of a task manager/to-do list. I'm sure there are better ways to keep track of your TV shows, but I prefer to have all my different stuff at one place.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
40+ seems excessive. I'd say during a typical week I watch about 10-15 hours (with Dramas counting 40 min. & Comedies counting 20 min.)
ReplyDeleteAssuming all my shows are airing in a week, 9 hours, though I watch stuff online so their would be some trimming due to lack of ads, so around 7 hours.
ReplyDeleteMost comedies are 22 mins and dramas are 44 mins.
ReplyDeleteI know, but I just rounded down to make the calculation easier.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was kidding lol.
ReplyDeleteBased on next week when the majority of the shows I watch are back or starting then around 10-15 hours.
ReplyDeleteAdd in how many shows I am rewatching on DVD and the figure is more like 30-35 hours if not more.
Too much
ReplyDeleteIf all my shows are airing I watch seventeen hours a week. Although with how much catch up and binging I do my total TV viewing is much higher then that
ReplyDelete40+

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure this is a question I should answer ... so shameful
ReplyDeleteSo you must fall into the 40+ hours! :)
ReplyDelete:-) Actually i just added it up - it's not so bad. 15 hours max ... i think
ReplyDeleteUp till now roughly 10 hrs, but by April with the spring batch of shows it will probably be 20 to 25 hrs..
ReplyDeleteLOL, this question. I don't know, but it's a lot. Watch a ton of shows.
ReplyDeleteCalculate please, lol
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to answer
ReplyDeleteThis is me.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I watch over twenty shows, it's bad. I'll give you that at least. LOL.

ReplyDeleteIf we are talking the inital viewing about 16 hours. If we are counting rewatches to write reviews, do polls, and podcast, way too freaking many.
ReplyDeleteI think the majority of us can agree with that answer.
ReplyDeleteYikes. 15-20 hours.
ReplyDeletePlus I have shows I watch online because some of my shows air at the same time. So more closer to 25 in the heat of the fall-spring season (when it's busiest). Summer I have a lot less but still have at least 10 shows (not all are on main channels).
