Do you still watch TV in your house like this? Picture included?

[Iron_Man]

Or is everything watched TV programming and sports on your laptop computer screen

Always on my computer or tablet

I enjoy the living room where I can invite friends and family over

[SueShe]

I don't watch much TV because most of the channels bring some kind of violent series which don't interest me and the largest part of the other remaining channels are basically crap and uninteresting programs.

When I watch TV, then they are educational and nature shows and very seldom any movies at all because today's film industry has lost its touch and movies are either propaganda movies or crime/murder stories.

When I take the time to watch TV and that there is actually something worth watching, then it is the regular TV. I do not own a flat screen TV because the time spent behind the screen does not justify the high investment for such a TV.

I do not watch any TV on my notebook and neither do I watch any channels that broadcast movies such as Y*****e or other streaming services. My notebook is solely used for school and I don't download any programs on it that are not education related.

[Iron_Man]

Well thank you so much Sue for coming in here I really appreciate your answer. And I agree with you most movies nowadays are crap. There is a new Indiana Jones movie coming out with Harrison Ford he’s now 80 years old its coming out later this month.

[SueShe]

Yes, I have seen the announcement about the new Indiana Jones. It will probably run on mainstream TV in 2 years from now.

[Anonymous]

I used to love watching TV and sat hours in front of it since I was a kid. But as i grew up I started using the PC more and discovered YouTube, animes, Netflix and so on. Now, I only watch sports on the TV

[Iron_Man]

Oh OK I see but at least you watch the big TV screen but thanks for coming in. I appreciate this comment.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for MHO Tiger 🐯 🧸

[noamazia]

i don't watch tv anymore. if there are shows I want to watch then I just look for them online.
that said, I do like to download a movie and have my friends come over so we all watch it on the tv together.
other than that, my flatmate likes to watch the news so when we sit around in the living room I sometimes "watch" (or rather "look") the news as well, but its very rarely.

[Iron_Man]

That’s cool, whatever floats your boat thanks for coming in

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I do, when there's a sporting event or some classic movie like Home Alone, but most of the time I'm on my laptop watching YouTube videos or Netflix shows

[Iron_Man]

That’s cool that’s very understandable thanks for coming in and sharing your opinion 👍🏻

[Opinion Owner]

You're welcome 😊

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for MHO 😊

[Iron_Man]

You are so welcome you deserve it

[Iron_Man]

[Likes2drive]

The big screen tv either in my room or in living room with family and friends, I hardly ever watch it on my laptop

[Iron_Man]

That’s good man that’s the way to go. Glad to hear it.

[Likes2drive]

Thanks

[Iron_Man]

You are welcome

[_Maya_]

I don't have a huge place. It is just an apartment. There is decent space though. I have a big couch and couple of recliners. One really doesn't have a good view of the tv, but I do have space for friends to hang out and watch TV. While I'm not much into football, it's a big thing where I live so lots of friends come over. I do watch but it is a good time to socialize. They guys enjoy it. So, I voted for the second option. I rarely watch on my computer or phone unless I am traveling. Great question!

[Iron_Man]

Thank you so much you’re very informative. That sounds great. Thanks for coming in.

[_Maya_]

You're welcome and thanks for the invite. Hope you had a good weekend.

[Iron_Man]

You’re very welcome

[horatiohornblower]

Can’t imagine why I’d want to watch something on my phone, tablet or laptop. When I have a big screen available.

Sometimes I watch on one of my desktop screens. But that’s just sort of watching while working on something else.

The only time I’ve used a phone or tablet is for air travel or waiting at the hospital.

[Iron_Man]

I hear you, my friend that’s the only way to go the big screen TV

[horatiohornblower]

My 55” is going on 13 years now. I’m considering one of those 75” 4K OLED models. Those look spectacular. I just can’t get myself to toss a working and decent TV.

[Iron_Man]

That would be awesome. Wait for Thanksgiving and go for the Black Friday special so you can get a great discount.

[Iron_Man]

If you live in the USA

[midnightmoon05]

We don’t own a tv. Haven’t had one for over 10-20 years.
muse laptop for work…a little research. Phone to go on gag sometimes…other than that…I’m out and about without devices…I enjoy human connections with families and friends.
it’s been working out and not planning to make any changes … so have no idea what on tv …seems like I didn’t miss anything.

[Iron_Man]

Oh thanks for coming in but remember you can have a lot of family experiences and connections in front of the TV as well and have a big nice lovely dinner while you’re watching TV. I’m not saying to do it all the time to spend your whole entire day I’m talking about in your free time in the evening or at night, depending how late you stay up all of you

[Iron_Man]

I mean with your family

[midnightmoon05]

That’s exact reason why we don’t want TV. We had a 50 inches because my ex mother in law made us. Hints…ex.
We eat dinner in the formal dining table and discuss us…. our days, our health, school, work, finances, travel, meal plans…we have a lot to discuss/plan daily…
We don’t want tv (social) influence.

When we have companies, we talk about each other. We really really discourage tv influence.
We play pool, basketball, piano, guitar, go hiking, cook, have a drink, play with my sisters new baby. The baby is not allow to use any devices.
So yeah…we are proud to be wired 😆

[Iron_Man]

I’m talking about night time when the days completely over not during hiking time.

[Iron_Man]

All of that big family you live all together

[midnightmoon05]

I see…we eat dinner between 6-7:30. After that, we go out for a walk, do some work/study, shower…, bed time is at 10pm…. if anything extra…would be half an hour or so…we discuss finances, news, our next travel plans…i we really haven’t had any day time to watch tv…its on laptop…
My daughter might play 1/2 hour game online…
My husband…watch some dirt bike events…or attend dirt bike events.
So we are not normal?

[Iron_Man]

Most people in America watch TV

[midnightmoon05]

Agree. That’s exactly what I don’t want. TV brain washes our brain.
We are much better without one. 😊

[Iron_Man]

I disagree but anyway thanks for coming in

[midnightmoon05]

I love it!! I am very proud of not owning a TV. That have brought my family to a level unlike others.

[Iron_Man]

I think our family is pretty high. Is there some kind of a competition or something? I thought you said you had a TV

[midnightmoon05]

My ex mother in-law demanded that we get one otherwise she won’t babysit…so got it for about a year… then divorce lol

[midnightmoon05]

See how that went…she was in our marriage too much.

[Iron_Man]

Sorry to hear that but that has nothing to do with TV

[zeitgeist057]

I don't even own a tv. But I also live on a smaller yacht and don't have space for it. But TV has never been big in my life, I owned one once for a few years, and the other time it was my ex who had the TV in her home when I moved in.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ma4VZ7rxGOw

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for your opinion thanks for coming in but what does the video have to do with watching TV?

[zeitgeist057]

I take it replying 8 minutes after I did, you didn't watch the 10 minute video. If you choose to, you may understand the relevance to watching TV.

[Iron_Man]

I watched enough of it to try to figure it out, but I wanted to get your opinion to make sure. I don’t agree with that at all many successful people have watched TV and have accomplished a lot even high class athletes

[zeitgeist057]

ok, just that you watch tv like the young man uses the spirit in the video, and it wastes your life observing instead of taking action and improving your own life, you watch others. It's pretty much why I don't bother watching sports. It's like why do I want to watch other people enjoying life and playing a game, when I could spend that exact same time playing the game myself? maybe on a rare occasion it's great to see someone skilled do something you love to do, but so many people watch sports that cannot and do not even play themselves.

[zeitgeist057]

I don't think many ambitious people spend a lot of time watching tv. They don't have time for it, for one, because their days are filled with achieving.

[Iron_Man]

How much time do you spend on the computer?
Everybody watches sports mostly and I played sports for years and years at a real high level, extremely high at the highest level so I think I can watch sports on tv

[Iron_Man]

I’ve already explain to you there’s no sense of repeating myself

[zeitgeist057]

I'm not asking you to explain or defend yourself, but I am curious if:
1. you are still paying at the highest level
2. When you were playing at the highest level you were watching more or less TV than you do now.

I think the question about how much time I spend on the computer is pertinent and I would say too much, and that most of the time I spend on the computer (like here on gag) is wasted time, that could be better spent improving myself. So my opinion about that is in alignment with the video I posted as well.

[Iron_Man]

The same amount of time at night time I watch TV unless going out

[RavVid]

You've got me. I've lost the concentration needed for a movie and now get bored easy. I'm addicted to youtube dopamine hits. A lap top is better for going from one video to another in short succession. There are only a few channels that I will watch complete videos from and they are 5 to 10 minutes. Only one that I watch the full 50-60 minutes of.

[Iron_Man]

OK, thanks for coming in and sharing. Thanks for your opinion

[JustinTheGreat]

I watch everything on my TV.
I use a google chromecast, where I have to cast what I want to watch directly from my phone. Every once in a while something I want to watch doesn’t have the capability to cast to my TV. If it’s something I’m dying to watch then I’ll watch it right on my phone or computer. But most of the time, if I can’t get it on my tv then it turns me off from watching

[Iron_Man]

That sounds great. That’s the Way to go the TV. Thanks for sharing.

[OfDeath]

I still watch it like that but since I have a smart TV, there is a fair amount of online viewing.

I watch the news through the standard TV aerial, sports if it is on free to air, one TV show which is on once a week if I'm not busy and the rest is sport or the odd movie through online services.

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for coming in and giving your opinion that’s good that you can watch some TV and enjoy it

[msc545]

I have a very large, very nice TV in my media room upstairs and I watch TV there. Laying stretched out on a very comfortable couch. This doesn't happen all that often because I'm usually working but I do enjoy the luxury of just simply relaxing and watching some good TV if I can find any.

[Iron_Man]

You know it my friend that’s the only way to go sounds great that’s what I do to. I can stretch out on the couch and watch TV sit in the other chair and have my dinners in front of the TV set. Thank you so much for coming in and giving your opinion.

[msc545]

👍👍 Thanks Iron!

[Iron_Man]

You’re very welcome my friend

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It'd be a shame if we wasted our humongous home theater system.

Our friends & family love coming over to watch whatever is trending.

"Far better than the cinemas!" is what they all say.

[Iron_Man]

That is awesome. I’m glad that you have a big homes theater system at your house. 👍 Thanks for sharing.

[humanearth]

Heck I just put in a new picture tube in this 1990s RCA

I don't like the new televisions, the old ones don't spy on you

[Iron_Man]

Awesome my friend Im glad you watch it and have it

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yep. Back in my country when my family visited we often watched TV not so much as for the sake of watching TV but rather as bonding, just to be there and and enjoy each other’s presence.

[Iron_Man]

That’s excellent. I’m glad you can enjoy your family and do things together

[Daniela1982]

I get something on my laptop and then wirelessly put it on my 65 inch smart TV screen from my laptop. Nicer than a 14 inch screen of the laptop.

[Iron_Man]

Nice, that’s bad ass excellent

[KetoJames]

Galaxy Tablet. I've been trying to get through the same movie for four days, and I keep pausing it to do other things. If I had a fancy TV like that, I doubt I'd turn it on.

[Iron_Man]

Well you’ll have to get one sometime maybe around Thanksgiving when they have their big black Friday specials if you live in the USA

[KetoJames]

Good idea, but I would have to buy it online. lol I'm sure you've seen the Walking Dead show. I remember one year on Black Friday, and the hordes were outside of a Walmart. The elderly security guard opened the doors, and he was trampled to death. No joke.

[Iron_Man]

I guess you can order it online but be careful. Yeah, I’ve heard of that series before.

[19magic]

Yep got my Blu-ray and a solid 200 movie collection, I do watch things on the laptop but I normally hdmi it to the telly

[Iron_Man]

Great 👍 and thanks for coming in

[19magic]

No worries, I had a bit of trouble - gag locked me out for about 4 days

[comekitty]

I don't really watch much TV but if I do, yes, it's in the family room, on the couch with a favorite throw. 🙂

[Iron_Man]

That’s so awesome. I’m glad you can do that. Thanks for coming in and sharing your opinion

[comekitty]

Of course 🙂

[Lliam]

The only things my wife and I watch on our large-screen TV are movies. We choose not to have a TV signal or watch "programming".

[Iron_Man]

Oh OK but at least you have a large TV

[notmysundaybest]

I only watch traditional TV if there's a movie or special (like the animated Christmas ones) I want to see.

[Iron_Man]

Well that’s cool thanks for coming in. I like Christmas shows. 🌲

[notmysundaybest]

Yeah, who doesn't?
You're welcome lol

[Iron_Man]

Well, some people are not into Christmas and that’s sad but I’m glad to see that you’re into it

[AviatorTom]

We watch movies on our big-screen in the living room... YouTube video's on the smaller laptop screen.

[Iron_Man]

Good I’m glad to hear that some people have mentioned in their 20s that we don’t watch TV anymore and I was shocked because everywhere I go everybody’s got a TV screen including Buffalo wild wings places like that

[Nehir]

Sometimes we watch TV as a family, sometimes I watch it alone on my computer, tablet or phone, so it varies.

[Iron_Man]

Thank you for sharing your opinion

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I watch all the old shows, Leave it to Beaver, Dick Van Dyke, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, etc.

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome my friend I like those shows to leave it to Beaver my favorite was All in The Family

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Iron_Man Yes, same here, I call them comfort shows 👍

[Iron_Man]

Yes, for sure and very comfortable very relaxing especially when you’re eating and joining a nice throw back show

[Iron_Man]

I mean enjoying

[Anemone978]

We don't have cable anymore but we still watch movies and shows we like on the tv

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome and thank you for coming in that’s the only way to watch TV on a real TV set

[SnowedIn]

I watch on the living room TV. Very little beats an 80" TV.

[Iron_Man]

That’s very true. I’m glad to hear that.

[SnowedIn]

That plus sound... no computer can beat that.

[Iron_Man]

Oh yeah that’s for sure. Surroundsound is awesome.

[exitseven]

I hsve a 55 inch in my living room and a 70 inch in my family room. I use them both.

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome man. I’m glad to hear it. I don’t see what these people see in
sitting in their bedrooms on a tablet or laptop watching TV and never watching a large TV screen in the living room that’s so boring

[Iron_Man]

I enjoy having dinner in front of my television nice cozy chair and couch

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man I may never go to a movie theatre again.

[Iron_Man]

When you have a fancy TV like that you don’t really need to even though I do enjoy going out to the Theaters as well

[Avenger670]

I mostly watch youtube. I have Netflix and hulu I am mooching off of someone else. Anything else I want to watch there is a way to find it on the internet. I also have an antenna in case I want local news or the oldie channels.

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for coming in but I’m a TV guy out in the living room. I like to have friends and family come over and watch the Super Bowl and my Miami Dolphins 🐬 🏈 Plus main event boxing 🥊 matches and all kinds of TV programs and just enjoy myself. I’m not really the type of guy that likes to sit in the bedroom on a little tiny laptop or an 8 inch tablet to watch my shows. It would be weird to invite a group of people over to watch the Super Bowl on an 8 inch tablet in the bedroom lol. And everybody sitting in the same bed eating that doesn’t work. I’m just not a bedroom type of guy

[SoJust]

İ have television in living room but i use not living room usually i watch series in pc also i watch NBA , i all watch PC

[Iron_Man]

That’s cool man thanks for coming in

[SoJust]

You re welcome mate ;)

[collie22]

Yeah we h have a big tv in the living room 😊

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome. I’m glad to hear that.

[clampfan101]

Unless I’m doing something private, the bigger screen is obviously the way to go.

[Iron_Man]

Yes sir that’s for sure

[najekim]

In the living room with friends on the big screen.

[Iron_Man]

Awesome that’s the only way to go. Glad to hear that. Thanks for coming in.

[najekim]

Thanky! Where's the chips?

[Iron_Man]

Yes, we must have chips for sure. Good idea.

[Minahh]

Yes I do. For a long time I wasn't doing it, but changed my mind.

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome. Glad to hear it and thanks for coming in.

[Izzy_3991]

My family hasn't sat in front of the TV like that in years. I didn't think we ever will again tbh

[OfMiceandMen]

On the TV mostly.

[Iron_Man]

Nice that’s the other way and best way to do it

[FunkyMonkee]

I haven't had t. v. in over 2 years.

[Iron_Man]

Well, hopefully you can get a TV soon again

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't exactly miss it. I HAVE two huge flat screens and several smaller B&W's, I just don't get more than one or two channels, neither of which I wanna watch!! I'm much to intelligent to waste my time watching CNN!! A lot of the jokes they tell aren't even funny!! And, I'm not at ALL into religion for the same reason!
Anyway, thanks for the well-wishes on that.

[John_Doesnt]

I stream on my TV via PS5.

[Iron_Man]

That’s cool thanks for your response

[SingleGuy101]

Usually TV is watched by one person at a time.

[Iron_Man]

Not really family members can come in and watch in the living room. Thanks for sharing though

[gothbxtch]

yes, with family

[Iron_Man]

That’s awesome. I’m glad to hear that the old fashion style still exist. Thanks so much for sharing. There’s nothing like spending time with family. 😊

[Swixka]

Mostly documentaries or sport.

[Iron_Man]

Awesome that sure is nice to hear. 😊

[Swixka]

And on TV :)

[Iron_Man]

That’s good to hear that I’m glad

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't watch TV anymore.

[Iron_Man]

OK I see. Thanks for coming in and giving your opinion

[Asad1ONE1]

I wish I had that kind of time 😢.

[Iron_Man]

Well, my friend, you can have some time when you get everything done for the day. Thanks for sharing.

[Lavitadifarfala]

i love watching tv with my sis and mom

[Iron_Man]

That is awesome. There’s nothing like bonding time with the family. I’m glad you’re enjoying watching TV with them.

[Lavitadifarfala]

Thank you for your nice comment 💓

[Iron_Man]

You’re very welcome thank you for coming in

[Lavitadifarfala]

🙏🙏🙏

[Iron_Man]

Thanks

[Lavitadifarfala]

🙂🙂.

[Taurus_Woman]

Yes, I do. ☺️

[Iron_Man]

That’s so nice. I’m glad to see somebody still does.

[Taurus_Woman]

I still carry nostalgic feelings from the past. We used to wait for our favorite cartoons or shows at a specific time, because there was no on-demand streaming. If you missed it, you simply missed it. There were no rewinds, no YouTube, and no endless scrolling, just scheduled programs and anticipation. Even though technology has changed everything, I still miss that feeling of waiting, watching, and enjoying TV as a real event rather than something instant and unlimited. And in the evenings, I watch TV my favourite show. It still gives me a feeling of comfort and nostalgia, reminding me of those simpler times when watching television felt like a shared and meaningful moment.

[Iron_Man]

That is so awesome. Are you in America?

[Iron_Man]

And when you wanna watch a big event on TV, who wants to watch it on the cell phone or a little tiny laptop with a party of seven people coming over. You want to have your big screen in the living room and have dinner and sit on the couch and have the whole group together and enjoying the event like the Super Bowl and other things

[Taurus_Woman]

Exactly! Watching TV is one of my favourite things, especially in the evenings. I like intellectual shows that make me think and learn something new. Sometimes I enjoy fun talk shows, comedy programs, or reality shows that don’t require too much thinking but still keep me engaged.

[Iron_Man]

That’s great. I enjoy it myself. I like watching biographies the history channel and when they talk about all the animals, Lions and Tigers. I like TV show and I love sports.

[Taurus_Woman]

TV shows about animals are awesome. You can learn about animal behavior, survival skills, and ecosystems that you would never see in everyday life.
These kinds of shows make me feel connected to nature and help me understand how diverse and fascinating the animal world is.

[Iron_Man]

That’s for sure it’s amazing to watch the animals how they interact with each other and how they’re such social animals and like to hang out in their tribe I really enjoy watching the Lions and Tigers

[Taurus_Woman]

Yes, definitely. And no matter my age, I rarely, maybe at weekends, I find some cartoons to watch too. It makes my day more vibrant. I’m not really into animations or things like that, but there are days when I really enjoy them. Not the robotic ones, but the natural cartoons that feel more like real life, as if they are inspired by everyday experiences.

[Iron_Man]

Well, that’s very interesting. I like the cartoons myself. I used to watch them as a little boy Scooby-Doo and sometimes I watch them now, but not that often but that’s my favorite cartoon Scooby Doo.

[Taurus_Woman]

I have a favourite cartoon series called "Three Cats" , but it is on a Russian channel. I also love Teletubbies; it has always been one of my favourites.

[Iron_Man]

You’ll have to send me a YouTube video so I can check it out about these cats and the other one to

[Taurus_Woman]

I will try to find it on YouTube. I used to watch it on Russian tv channel in their own language. But will search for it on YouTube as well. If it is available, will copy and paste the link

[Iron_Man]

Excellent. Can you speak Russian?

[Taurus_Woman]

Yes, yes, I can. It is a foreign language for me, but I know it very well.

[Iron_Man]

Wow, that is so awesome. Incredible.

[Taurus_Woman]

Thanks. It is not an easy language. But when you learn it at early ages, it becomes earlier.

[Iron_Man]

It sounds like it’s very difficult to learn, but it’s very interesting that language

[rideorsleep]

I haven't watched TV for years

[tfan1]

Both.

[Iron_Man]

Cool thanks for your opinion

[tfan1]

You’re welcome 🙂

[DreamGlow]

Yes, I do!

[Iron_Man]

Cool

[boobliker]

not any more

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry to hear that

[EaterPeter]

Not really

[Iron_Man]

Oh, I see thanks for coming in anyway and sharing

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!
