How long do you spend watching the channels?

Does anyone watch the channels for more than 8 hours a day or night?

When the channels were more entertaining to me in the 2010's, there were a few times I spent an entire 24 hours watching them.

Now I mostly watch recordings of old shows, if I have any free time. The current shows rarely entice me to spend any significant time watching them.

2010-2020ish, if I had nothing to do, I could spend the evening watching one of my favourites rather than the shite on TV... Nowadays, its more like 5 minutes (the shows are that interesting now) between YouTube videos.

When I was younger and we had three channels on FV. I would watch it most of the evening. If Lori was on I would follow her from channel to channel until she finished at5am. But now due to my age and my illness I hardly see it at all.

Back in the day I frequently watched the shows endlessly. Not now.

If I could manage more than 8 minutes these days I'd have to punch myself in the face for doing it.

In my single days I could watch the day shows for hours... They used to sit and cross their legs and stuff which I love.
Now it's a 2 minute curiosity look... Shoulders shrugged and Channel switched

In the days when the number of channels was in double figures, then there was plenty of choice to switch between and keep an interest. Less so now with 2-3 at best.

Oh, so that's what you're really asking

It was the current state of spending thread that made me think of asking the current state of watching question.

When I want to watch an old show I just google a babes name and look for a video.
