Television!!!

3. Typically television is not a huge part of my daily schedule, and for the purpose of this blog I tried to watch a little more than usual. One of the only shows I watch on a regular basis is SportsCenter, of which I will watch the same episode 2 or 3 times if I get the chance. Also, I watched a medical comedy/drama called "House". I had seen this show almost half a year before and really liked it, so when I saw it on USA I sat down and watched it, I might even try adding this into my routine when I get the chance because the show matched the sort of comedy that I like to see. I did miss the coverage of the election by Stephen Colbert and John Stewart because everyone at my house is not fan of the duo and we had to keep the channel stuck on CBS and the "boring" coverage. I did not record any shows because of my lack of the ability to do so but I do wish I had recorded Colbert and Stewart.

4. I did not watch any tv shows online but I did indeed watch a movie at a friends house after the election proceedings were over. A group of us got together and watched Iron Man and The Hulk and had a heated debate about which movie we liked more.(Iron Man)

5. Personally I felt that I changed my tv habits to fit that of the survey, I might have changed channels more if I had not been being monitored. I knew that I was watching more tv than I normally did but I did not realize even so that I had still spent so much time in front of the tv, I guess I really was drawn in by the shows. I could definitely see people writing what they think the survey wants them to put down or putting shows they wish they'd watched and were fans of. I would maybe use this as a guide line for whats being watched on tv, it seems to be reliable for the most part but I could see the results being skewed and would not bet my life on any results of this survey.
