How much TV do you watch and what?

Absolutely none. I haven’t had a TV in my house for two years. I don’t miss it a bit. It’s the biggest time waster in the world. I get a lot more done now, and I’ve found you can survive without the latest mini series or the big game on TV.

The news is just gloom and dispair, and I can catch what I need on the internet.

I can honestly say I don’t miss it at all.
 
My favorites are Gilligan's Island and The Beverly Hillbillies. Oh, and the Dukes of Hazard.

Seriously, though, I watch very little TV other than Red Wings Hockey, Spartan football, basketball and hockey, Tigers baseball, and some golf. I also watch American Pickers and an occasional movie.

That may sound like a lot, but its probably less than a couple hours per week.
 
My wife and I recently cut the cord, we found that we watched very little of what was on cable and spend more time on streaming services, even though we don't watch much more than a movie in one sitting, with the occasional binge. We watched all 8 episodes of The Widow (on Amazon) over last weekend LOL
 
Okay. I confess. History Channel: Ancient Aliens, Project Blue Book, etc.

Might as well add that my wife and me along with a roadie for Lydia Pense and Cold Blood (back when my business partner and I were providing sound for them) saw a huge UFO on the way back from a show in Redding, California. Dangedest thing I ever saw! That might have something to do with it.

Wow Cold Blood and a UFO, way cool!! Hey Nevada Pete do you remember who was the bassist for Cold Blood when you were doing sound?

Domingo Ballentine was the bassist for the road band. I don't know who did the sessions. The album was titled, "Lydia Pense and Cold Blood" (1976 - ABC Records). Here's a link to Discogs:

Michael Sasaki and Raul Matute from the original lineup were still with Lydia for that album. Max Haskett, a brilliant trumpet player who later went on to form Rubicon was also with them at the time. Sadly, Max died from cancer before he received the recognition he deserved. It's amazing anybody survived that particular era in the music industry.

I'm retired, I don't watch tv much, I prefer reading. I read a lot.

Currently tv series I watch are Blacklist and Supernatural. Discovery Channel and Nat Geo Channel are two channels that I also sometimes watch.

On Sundays, when there's MotoGP race scheduled, I watch it, especially the main race.

I have Amazon prime but I subscribed to it for the Prime Delivery, the prime video is just a bonus... I watch Grand Tour on Amazon... I'm a big fan of Top Gear, the original one.
Netflix, I seldom watch it, but my wife loves it.
