3. This was not typical of my TV watching. I usually watch a little bit more and have certain shows I watch, but I mainly started watching movies on TV while I worked on homework. I usually try to catch “House”, “Scrubs”, or cartoons like “Southpark” and “Family Guy”. I love “Sons of Anarchy” but it hasn’t been on long enough for them to show reruns during the rest of the week. “Quigley Down Under” I have never seen all the way through and still haven’t, but I think it’s a good western movie even though it takes place in Australia and it stars the guy from “Magnum P.I.”. All of the other movies I watched that day I had seen before so it didn’t bother me that wasn’t fully watching them. I got a lot of homework done though. I do not have DVR or Tivo or anything, thus I have to watch everything when they come on or catch them on the net. I have only watched one show on the web and that was “Son of Anarchy”. I could always use more “House” and “Scrubs” and they need to air more than just movies on Saturdays. My fiancĂ© and I watch a lot of TV with each other. When recording what I watched though, we were in separate rooms.

4. Due to my financial restraints, I didn’t really go anywhere this weekend. I watch video clips on youtube.com all the time but I don’t really watch television on the net. I didn’t watch TV at a friend’s house or at a restaurant. I didn’t watch any shows on DVD either because I do not have the money to go out and buy seasons of shows.

5. On this particular day, I didn’t think I watched that much TV. I do not believe this is a reliable source of recording TV habits amongst TV watchers. Having to write down what I watched and when I watched it took the fun out of watching TV. What if people forget to write a show down while they are watching it. I flip channels a lot but I wasn’t necessarily sure if I needed to write them down since I didn’t watch them for that long. I think that it should record Television habits in 5 minute increments to fully catch every show.
