1. I watch a ton of television, but only when I'm back at home. I'll pretty much keep the TV on all day if I have nothing better to do. As for the radio...I only listen to it in the car, and that's only when I don't have a better CD or tape to play.

2. I watch a lot of crap on TV... ABC Family reruns (Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step, Boy Meets World), then Fox reruns (Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, Seinfeld) Then some sports depending on who is playing. Not much for primetime TV on any major networks except a few shows on Fox. Oh yeah, most original HBO shows are great (Six Feet Under, Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Da Ali G Show) I'll also watch Comedy Central, Discovery, Sci-Fi, and variuous others when I'm bored. On the radio, it's pretty much four stations for me and that's it. I listen to NPR, the local oldies station, the local college music station, and the local sports talk station. The rest irritates the hell out of me. I'd say I listen to NPR the most out of all.

3. I usually listen to the radio only as backup if I don't have any CDs to listen to in the car. There are only a few choice shows on NPR that I actually tune in to see (Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Fresh Air, some others) I'll turn to the sports talk station if the Eagles just lost or won or something because that's fun.

4. I watch because I have nothing better to do in the outside world. It's right there and it's easy to turn on. It gives you news and it gives you laughs. Good 'ol TV.

5. Nothing is really that significant to me personally. I love talking about old shows and I love watching them with friends and family and all, but it's hard for me to call that significant. It's entertaining, and sometimes educational and necessary.

6. I would like HDTVs to start to become cheaper (which I think they might be) I think this technology is pretty cool and would benefit from more viewers being able to buy it. Sattelite radio also seems to be the way to go for radio, but I don't use the radio often enough to plunk down and extra $25 for something that used to be free.
