too much tv

hippieP · 11-08-2011, 02:36 PM

We have started a rule in the house that limits the TV we use and so far its working. We noticed a slack in the kids study time and rushing through work. Adults were doing the same but ours was about setting our own bedtime. Do others here have a tv limit?

We don't have a limit, but we insist everything must be done if they want to watch something. Whomever is home at the time, makes sure they get their homework done before dinner and then they can watch TV with us.

I generally set a limit of no less than 50 hours of TV a week. I've memorized every Judge Judy and Jerry Springer episodes. Which is nice to know when I enter Jeopardy soon.

We don't have limits but then again we are not big TV people. We watch Jeopardy and a few other shows, but that is about it for us.

I'll be on Jeopardy soon. Watch for me. I am very smart and will probably beat Ken Jennings record.

I seldom watch tv. What is jeopardy? And who is this Judge you are talking about. Nope, if I'm going to waste massive amounts of time it will be on the puter.

Same here Grandpa I don't even own a TV.

I don't watch much TV. Maybe two hours a week, and a lot of that is the news.
