TV! what do you watch?

[sephina]

I'm curious as to what muslims in general watch on tv whether it be news, shows and tv for leisure or watching Zakir Naik dvds. I don't watch too much tv these days but I do watch LOST, Prison Break and House.

As for the news I read the paper...I find it is less biased than broadcasted news.

But some people watch TV more than they sleep! I think its very detrimental to the mind and its a form of procrastination which should be avoided. Could someone also post a hadith on procrastination if possible?

[Love&Peace]

Shouldn't the first option be <5 ?
Or I am having some misunderstandings.

[O2K]

i tivo a lot of tv. The shows I watch are:
Curb your enthusiasm, Flight of Conchords, Planet Earth, Aliens in America, Man vs. Wild, Suvivorman, Intervention and the Walking with Dinosaurs series.

for some reason i'm a sucker for dinosaurs

I also love watching basketball. I watch a lot of basketball

[Tranquillity]

I assume it's less than five as well!
Prefer my DVDs. But like paramount comedy for scrubs etc

[LastFriday]

I used to watch a lot of TV, but now I rarely watch it....Like Less than 5

[sephina]

tell me about it...i never thought TV would be such a task. In our house my family hates holding the remote because we all know that eventually the embarassing task of forwarding or reflexively changing the channel will come.

I rarely watch TV and i've staying for months without one. only recently i got a tv that i watch around 15mins a day due to friends requests

[Mikha’eel]

8-12 hours a week for me. I watch it throughout the day. A bit in the morning, afternoon and night.
Thats relatively a small amount by my standards to be honest.

[Kasim2k7]

dont watch tv at all but i like watching an inspirational movie

[Riceball]

I haven't watched TV for over 7 years.. Thanks to my computer!

[LastFriday]

I haven't watched TV for over 7 years.. Thanks to my computer!

I don't believe that

[Riceball]

I don't believe that

It is true!!!!

Think about it... What can the TV offer me that the computer cant!?

[Basil al-Mamluk]

Maybe an hour or so a day, mostly history channel. A lot of the other stuff on there is propaganda and garbage.

You say true and the cartoons have gone downhill too. The 90's were good for cartoons.

[Geek_Girl]

Cartoons were ace in the 90s! Does anybody remember Gummi bears, Superted or Ducktales? Cheese but great :D

[sis_sarah]

I prefer it when my dad puts the telly away but my bro always seems to persuade him to take it out for a football match or something or the other, which automatically allows us an excuse to watch this program or the other...
however, i usually watch the stuff of my own choice on the net.. its much more easier and you can see it at your own time...

[stephenoskie]

I watch a lot of tv :embar:

[afsalim]

I spend around 16 hrs at office each day. So, no time for tv.

[GuCcI]

only on saturday morningsish

[um-salwa]

I'm going to be honest i do watch way tooooo much tv
:o:o

[Astraeus]

I watch too much TV, but a lot of it isn't my choice. My son has on the children's channels when he gets home from school.

about the Only Channel I watch is Peace TV everything else on TV is garbage, except maybe the news ...

too much TV is a blatant waste of time, and most people watch Haraam or worthless programmes wasting their time, when they could have used it for their Benefit ...

:jkk:

Peace tv is so good. Im hooked on that too.

[neelu]

I watch probably half peace tv and half other stuff. There are some decent English/American/Asian shows out there, but even then the ads in between are just :rubeyes::nono:

[SD.]

Honestly, the last time I sat infront of a TV was 5 months ago, when I visited my family. And even then my time before a TV was limited as I had places to be or books to read. Reading, IMHO, is the best way to pass time...
